See, I'm on the fence about what should and should not have to be flocked in communities. I mean, just because something could have a sexual nature it doesn't mean that it's obscene or shouldn't be discussed. However, I don't want children to wander onto those posts either.
So I don't want to lock all posts on any of the dj comms, because I think that gen/teen posts should still be accessible to everyone. But I still don't know LJ's policy on reporting abuse and if posting under f-lock will curtail a decision to suspend a journal/comm. All it would take is for a troll to join a comm and then they could go ahead and report member only posts, or a dissatisfied member could decide to get back at a comm and report away.
So thank you for the info on how to set posts to f-lock automatically. I didn't know how to do that, but I guess I'm saying that I don't plan to change the posting guidelines now, because I don't think that locking everything will help more than the current policy of f-locking adult posts. I'm most likely going to just change the membership policies to make the comms moderated membership, so that I can approve new members and try to stop trolls and people who aren't 18+ from joining. That way non-18+ people can still watch the community and comment on open posts.
Argh. I just hate the fact that a pastime that doesn't hurt anyone has to be monitored and controlled like this. Stupid LJ.
