Am I adult themed enough to qualify for "Adult Concepts"?

ETA: lazyangel wrote a fantastic post in response to this that I think everyone should read, because not only is it thoughtful, it's wise.

So LJ News/Releases/Biz just announced we can rate our own journals... and if someone isn't logged in and we've rated them "Adult Concepts" they have to click a little button that says they're over 14.  (I tried it... that's what happens).  I don't know what they have to do if we decide our content is explicit... but I'm curious....

What do you guys think of this new system?  Is it weird?  Is it worth it?  Will you use it?  Is it going to annoy the crap out of you?

here's the link to the biz post explaining what it is

So, it's poll time....

I hate this more than words can express.

It's one thing to allow us to choose to use these settings -- or choose not to use them -- on our own LJs and our own posts to communities. I have no problem with that.

It's another thing altogether to set up an anonymous system for tattling to Big Brother. HATE. HATE.

I agree with you that the flagging option is the place where things are going to be REALLY problematic. Not only because it brings the possibility of LJAbuse sticking it's nose in everywhere, but also because, based on their track record, there's no way LJ is going to be able to handle the nonbogus stuff, much less the bogus stuff (and because I truly believe they're not going to differentiate as well as they should/could).

My thoughts exactly.
