blogger flagging question

    In the upper right-hand corner, for blogs using blogger.com, there is an option to "flag this blog".

    Does anyone know how many times a blog must be "flagged" in order for it to be considered offensive? I checked the FAQ and it didn't give a definite amount, it just said that if enough people flag it, the blog will go into unlisted status.

    What they basically mean is that they will get around to it “when they’re good and ready”. I don’t know why you flagged a blog but I can guess it was because of PORN.

    Two days ago my wife was searching Blogspot blogs and she ended up on a Porn Blog that had pictures of men ejaculating on a woman’s face. Well she will get over it but the thing was that my 2 year old daughter was next to her and saw everything.

    Like a said I don’t know why you want to flag a blog but it will take time until they do something about it.

    I didn't actually flag any blogs, I was just curious about how many flags it takes for a blog to be considered offensive. Sometimes I would blog about controversial matter (not anything related to porn though) and viewers may get angry and thus flag my blog.

    The way things are at blogger I doubt that people will care much about your controversial topics. People are more concerned about images.

    I thought people were more concerned about spam, but that doens' t do anything to flag spam blogs because new ones are created.

    The flag button is intended to be used by the blogging community to alert blogspot of any material they might conceder offensive. I think spam never had anything to do with it although porn blogs can be considered spam.
