How to mark a blog as "Mature Content"?
-
Hello all,
I’m sorry to ask this in a community. I’m brand new and I not only looked high and low for the answer, but I really tried to find a way to ask someone in support directly. From what I can find, “support” actually means “ask other users”. *sigh*
So here goes! I’m creating a BDSM blog. Clearly, that’s “mature content”. I know there’s a “Mature Content” portion of the FAQ, and my blog will fall within the described limits. However, the rest of the answer makes no sense. Here’s some of the highlights:
“If you are publishing a blog that you expect will contain content that is intended for mature audiences, we ask that you provide us the courtesy of reporting your own blog by using the Report this content option in the blog menu of your Toolbar.”
Um… what?
I’m using the 2011 theme, FWIW. I wanted to mark it “mature” before I start posting, for obvious reasons. But try as I may, I can’t find anything that says “Report This Content”. I don’t even know what a blog menu is! If it’s the list of options at the right, not one of the options or sub-categories says a single word about “reporting the content” of the entire blog. Does this mean I have to turn myself in for every single post I make? That will certainly get old in a hurry!
Any advice is sincerely appreciated. Thanks!

I reported it for you. I went to the front of your blog and in the right hand side dropdown from the Admin bar I clicked report blog and reported it as mature.

Thank you thank you thank you timethief! There’s nothing quite so frustrating as being outwitted by a website. I actually found the support options and the part about the mature content. I just couldn’t figure out how to report the site. Did I say thank you? THANK YOU! :)
