I’ve been seeing gay porn posts as I searched “gay” and looking for posts on gay issues, not gay porn. Is there a way to block these posts for my view? Is there a way to report this blog? Thanks for your help!

From the TOS http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
Please don’t:

•Post links or banner ads to adult-oriented affiliate networks, such as pornography site signups;
•Post links, text, or images promoting or advertising escort services;
•Post images of extreme violence or gore without associated context or commentary;
•Post images of child pornography;
•Post content that promotes pedophilia, such as blogs with galleries of images of children where the images, content surrounding the images, or the intent of the blog is sexually suggestive.

Go to the front of the blog in question – and on top left hand corner
there is r is a drop-down menu
One link in that menu is “Report a mature“
Click it and complete the form and submit it to Staff.

How long does it take roughly before it’s taken down?

Varies – somewhere between 10 min and a day or so – depends on the backlog and other unknown to us conditions and workload with the Terms of Service group.

@tt – this forum is glitchy for me at the moment. Everytime I press, it gives me a ‘you move too fast’ error message and then when I do get it to post I find someone’s beaten me to it. Well, nevermind.

‘you move too fast’

Is an anti-spam filter – the staff used to disable it for some of us that helped a lot in the forum – I don’t type fast enough to run into it much – @TT used to get hammered by it a lot.

I get relentlessly hammered by it. SO annoying I’ve started moving my policing to Twitter and FB instead.

The other issues will be left for a future settlement w/wp.com or AutoMattic while I close this thread…
