WTF?

This content rating is annoying as frell (notice my usage of the kiddie-safe expletive... *snerk*). Half my f-list is now collapsed into non-specific cut-tags telling me "You are about to view content that may not be appropriate for minors."?? Presumably this is because I joined back when you just had to tell them that you were over 13. You know, since I said I was over 13 more than five years ago, it would have been cool if their computer system leniently deduced that I'm probably well over 18 by now. Kind of a gesture of goodwill towards longterm users who joined under a very different atmosphere and management. But I guess I'm now forced to change my settings somewhere, and give them my data...

You know, the interesting thing about all this is that they say it depends on your *original* birthdate, and I know I gave them a birth year when I joined (it was less than five years ago, but I was more than 18 then), but it still doesn't let me change that setting unless I have a birth year in my profile. And when I added one and *then* removed it, I got switched to the cut tags again.

I haven't tried saying I was a minor and then seeing what happens; I'm afraid of the results.
