Flagging
It's blowing a gale outside and raining hard. It's good being inside with tea and internets and writing.
However! I've been attempting to manage my stress levels by mostly ignoring the LJ flagging thing, but I'm failing because every time I see 'flag' on someone's post it gives me a nasty little shock and I get all mad. What's the point of it, if you can already just contact the abuse team about a post you are offended by? Also, their definition of offended is gloriously vague. As far as I can tell there is still no clear system for judging the complaint either.
I haven't changed my journal settings to 'adult concepts' or 'explicit adult content'. I can see how this might be genuinely useful though, to protect oneself. Especially now that LJ have upped the stakes.

no subject
The journal owner can either set the whole lj as having adult content, or just mark specific posts (the second option seems like the better one if someone's actually going to bother with this stuff. When you mark the whole lj, anyone who's not logged in or hasn't changed their settings sees all your posts put under an lj-cut warning for content. Really annoying!)
