Ratings on your DW entries

[mekare]

Just out of interest, how do you handle ratings on your journals? Everybody has a basic access rating (like, discretion advised or 18+) but do you rate individual entries for their content? Which rating system do you use? I came across a journal today that had no rating tags for entries (which I almost always use) and it seemed strange to me. But maybe I am overtagging since my whole journal is already set to 18+. Mmmh.

I don't think one can block content based on tags here so there's little reason to tag individual posts. Plus it's easy to hide NSFW content behind a labeled cut tag so it's not generally a problem. I've seen people do that.

Sometimes I have seen communities insist on cut tags or labels in the title of a post warning of NSFW content, especially if it's something they might routinely host. I know that it's a rule at the community I mod, for example, to mention if images being linked to are NSFW.

But for my own account, in the past I may have posted something that could be considered NSFW but I can't think of what it might have been. Neither my account nor any posts have ever been labeled. As some have already noted, it's pretty standard to mention it when posting a fanwork.

Tag filtering exists - it's a paid feature, iirc.
