This Post Contains Explicit Adult Ranting
Six Apart has announced a new censorship tool in lj_biz (for once 6A has linked to a pedophile witch-hunt related development from news, instead of completely burying it in lj_biz).
Amusingly named Voluntary Adult Setting, the feature allows us to flag our own content as adult.
Rest in my insanejournal.

[Actually, I like the abilit to flag your journal/community explicit and not having to check the DOB of every member anymore. I just think letting other people flag other people's stuff is monumentally stupid.
And if the one community I have voluntarily set as explicit suddenly has problems it's coming here. I have it set to go already.]

It's very clear that 6A/LJ has no idea how their users use their service.
What would have been useful was a new type of LJ cut that would trigger the age "verification" rather than flagging an entire post. <lj-age text="blah"> for example. It would look like a normal cut but would do the age check.
