OK, help me out here. How come half my flist's posts say "You are about to view content that may not be suitable for minors" or "You are about to view content that may only be suitable for adults"?

It means your friends are grownups and not teenage anime freaks?

No idea. WHatever, I really don't like the whole 'flag' idea at all. AT ALL.

LOL! OK, but... how did it happen? Did they flag their own posts? Or did someone else flag them?

A lot of us have probably changed our settings ourselves. (I set mine to "explicit.")

I think you just need to verify your age with lj, or actually, maybe you need to tell it in the settings that you don't want explicit content filtered. I remember doing something like that when I was changing my own journal's settings.

Go to journal, then settings, then scroll down. You should see the options there.

Thank you. I just went and flagged myself. Say it loud and say it proud...

I did it too---and you know from experience what's on mine (And it ain't so hot! :). It just seemed safer to me to say 'adult' so that I wouldn't have to worry about what I wrote. All my LJ pals are adults, so I figured that's OK.

You also have to set your age. If LJ doesn't know, by your birthdate that you are over 18 it sets those cut tags on other journals that are rated adult. I set my birth year at 1900 because it is no-ones business how old I am. I already had to tell LJ once in private that I was over 18, I think, for some reason or other. Once your age on your profile states that you are "legal" in LJ land then the original cut tag will appear.
