That is why all those porn sites have the age verification before showing "too much" (though they really walk a fine line). I don't want to see porn pages all over blogger, but someone talking about pornography or sex in a mature manner could be considered objectionable when it is really only mature...I mean if a kid can go into Barnes and Noble and read an erotic short story book then well maybe B&N should stop carrying all books...like my hyperbole? In any case I would like to see Blogger put out some guidelines rather then using the retarded "mob rule" they currently have. In any case I am merely boycotting the current implementation which is so vaguely defined as to be ridiculous. I want something that is clearer then mud when I look at it.Matthew Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426871413937137353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14766582.post-1125017770944462302005-08-25T20:56:00.000-04:002005-08-25T20:56:00.000-04:00I think your walking a fine line with the rules, b...I think your walking a fine line with the rules, but you definatly have a point that could be argued.<BR/><BR/>I think Blogger is mostly worried about lawsuits from parents and police due to children getting exposed to 'unsavory' things. Since there is no rules on content really, there is potential for the porn industry to weasle its way in, especially with unlimited photo hosting. So I think thats how the flagging issue came about, not to block anoying spam, though may be.<BR/><BR/>I think its a system that potentially could work if it is changed and modified. It could help stop porn (or at least viewing of unexpected porn) and help stop spam blogs all in one step. Just have to let blogger know how we feel, that we still want our freedom of speach uncensored.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403295619980735108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14766582.post-1125016749122090332005-08-25T20:39:00.000-04:002005-08-25T20:39:00.000-04:00Personally, I think it might be nice if the pletho...Personally, I think it might be nice if the plethora of generic business/product blogs got flagged, but I definitely see how these flags can be a bad, bad thing. Blogging has been touted for so long as the last bastion of free speech so I think that people should expect to see free speech when they peruse the blogs. It seems like any unpopular opinion could get flagged and since there is no feedback to blog owners it seems like there is room for abuse of the system. At any rate I suppose if we all get p.o.ed enough we could just give blogger the finger and do without the push-button publishing features by creating our own blogs on other servers.fishheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748319343592720590noreply@blogger.com
