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 rate entries in the journal. I will cut things that fall into broad categories of 'common issues' (food/weight, depression/mental illness, family drama, etc.) and provide a note of what's under the cut, but don't bother with ratings.

I do rate fic, but that's rare at the moment and also up on AO3. I trust people to curate their own internet experience, for better or worse.

Yeah I guess I am concerned with ratings since dw is my primary space for posting fanworks, as opposed to the majority who uses it as a journal.
