  I am new to the blogging community and WordPress in general, and I am trying to figure out what qualifies a blog as “mature” . . . I assume anything pornographic falls into that category, but I’m more curious about cuss words. Does using four letter words in a blog make it mature? I have been trying to figure it out but all I keep coming up with are people saying what happens to their blog *after* it’s marked Mature . . . I just want to know what falls into the category in the first place.

  Thanks,

  -Sarah

  Pornography isn’t mature, pornography is against the wp.com terms of service:

  Mature means not suitable for general audiences. See detailed staff reply here:
