Entry tags:
This is dumb
And not just dumb because of the use of the word "fuctionality," which should be fucking banned.
Click here to read about the new, exciting "Adult Settings!"
Especially the bit about being able to tag other users entries as inappropriate? Can you imagine? WTF. Seriously.
Six Apart has certainly done their bit of damage to LJ. I hope the original creators are happy with the money in their pockets, because it's gone downhill ever since Six Apart took the reins.
I will not be tagging my LJ as "Adult" or whatever the fuck that means. Get real. I'm an adult. Occasionally I will refer to things that pertain to, oh, I don't know...Adults. Six Apart can damn well keep their nose out of my LJ.

Asstarstraf noted in comments, one of her friends said the following:
"Some of you may know that you can now set your journal to either "Adult content" (which blocks viewers under 18 from viewing) or "Adult concepts" (which blocks readers under 14). There are also options to flag someone journal as "adults only", which puts it into the queue to the moderators who will look at it and flag it for you.
As a default setting, they have EVERY SINGLE JOURNAL set to filter out the "adult content" setting! So if your friends try to do the right thing and mark their porny LJ's appropriately, you CAN'T SEE THEM until you change your viewing settings. Which is kind of hard to figure out how to, even if you know you have to in the first place.
Go to your User Options page, and click on Journal - settings. The Viewing Options page will appear, and all the way at the bottom is a section called "AdultContent Options". Your "Safe Search Options" has been set to "use moderate filtering - filters explicit and adult content".
So if someone on your F-list has recently dropped off the map and you have no idea why, try going here and changing your settings. Otherwise, if their LJ is set to "adult" you won't be able to see any of their public entries on your friends page."
