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.

Never used ratings. I use my journal almost exclusively for fannish stuff - and by that, I mean, nearly all are just exchange letters. The few posts of discussion are not remotely NSFW whatsoever.

I post all my fics (I don't do art) on AO3 too, and its tagging system works for me. I lock anything that is potentially an issue - but for me I have more the trouble that some RL people might find my fanworks, and certain ones I've written could get me in trouble at my work. So I lock them just in case. The rest, I figure people can read the tags and a/ns and click the back button if they don't like it.
