  I would like to know what is considered as pornographic content? Would an image of a topless anime character in a suggestive pose (no genitalia shown) be considered as pornographic content?

  I’d also like to know if blog that posts mature content every once in a while (other content being PG-13) be listed under mature blogs simply for posting a couple of such articles or is there an additional system in place that filters out only mature content from being featured or shown in Freshly Pressed?

  From the TOS http://en.wordpress.com/tos/
  Please don’t:
  •Post explicit sexual materials that can be considered pornographic, such as explicit images or video of sexual acts or close-up images of genitalia;
  •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.

  There is no warning notice provided here. You create a static front page and post one of your own making on it.

  Then you can go to the front of your blog and click the “report blog” link in the dropdown to report it to Staff as “mature”.

  Blogs with legal adult content are not removed, so please do not report these as spam or expect us to suspend them. They are flagged as Mature so that they become less visible to general audiences throughout WordPress.com by being excluded from Top Blogs, Recent Posts and Global Tag Listings. http://en.support.wordpress.com/report-blogs/

  If you have any content we consider to be mature, even on just one or two posts, your blog will be flagged as such and will not be visible in public areas of WordPress.com such as the Reader.

  If you have any content we deem pornographic, your blog will be suspended as a violation of our terms of service.

  We do not pre-approve content, so if you have any uncertainty about the nature of your content, I’d recommend not posting it to your site.
