solarbirdOkay, so the new thing on LJ is "adult concepts" and "adult content." You can rate your own journal and/or individual entries, which is a "meh whatever," but also! Any other LJ user can flag your journal and/or entries as inappropriate content. There're little flag icons everywhere now, you may and may not have noticed. Two or more flags get you sent up to LJ-Abuse. Mmmm, that'll rev the fucktard activity up to 10,000,000,000 real fast.
All that's extremely annoying, but that's not all of it! There are also viewing options. 6A, in their wisdom, for example, has set my viewing preferences for me to filter search results and to "collapse" - lj-cut, basically - all "adult concepts" and content. So now I have all these stupid fucking LJ-cuts in my friendslist. But even better - it won't let me turn that off. The other options - "only protect me from some skeery things" and "don't be a fucktard at all, I know who the fuck I friended" - are greyed out! For my own protection, I can only presume.

hughcasey is talking about the bullshit here. So! What'd they set your preferences to today?
