More trouble brewing: Even though we still haven't heard anything from 6A about the promised new TOS regarding adult/'obscene' material, LJ is about to introduce a flagging option, i.e. logged-in users can flag other people's entries as 'adult content' (whatever that means...) which will automatically send a request for investigation to the Abuse Team. You can also use it to warn off unwary readers.
