*fiddles* Yay, a public post. Though apparently only people that are already members can comment on it. Drat. I was hoping to give them a quick way to state their age in a screened comment when they try to join. Oh well.
The only aspect I want from LJ's system is the age check on join attempt.
I don't want any of their stupid content cuts, a well written post with a plain old lj-cut is just fine and ultimately just as secure (since if you're underage and logged out all you have to do is click the "yeah, I'm 18+" button anyway, if you didn't lie when you set up your LJ in the first place). I most especially do not want anything that allows anyone other than the original poster (or in communities, the mods) to flag individual posts or journals.
I just don't want to have to manual check user info pages for dates, nor do I want to force people to display their personal information just to join my asylum.
Hmm, the guest book entry (on layouts that have it) isn't covered in LJ's flagging system? Interesting.
