adult content flagging comes to LiveJournal: the POLL

(This poll relates directly to this previous entry.)
[Poll #1075683]
This is, of course, accepting that we have no idea as of yet how LJ-Abuse will handle such reports, nor how having your content or your entire journal flagged as "adult" will affect access to it by other LiveJournal users and the general public....

How would they go about assessing a journal entry, especially in terms of graphics? For text, I guess they could apply a keyword search like Google does on all my e-mail correspondence (so Google can send little ads to me about insulating basements if someone e-mails me about how she's resorted to sleeping in her basement to avoid sleeping upstairs with her husband.)

They're adding a "flag for adult content" button to all entries, so anyone can easily report it for review by Abuse. How that system is going to work further i still a mystery; the informnation we have is gleaned from technical commentary on the process.

I guess it'd be similar to what's used at various personals ads websites to report naked people. solicitations, etc. I guess what concerns me most is whether it would apply only to public posts, or also friends-only posts, although I really don't like it, at all.

That's a mystery. Like I said, it isn't like 6A actually released a policy statement on all of this.
