How do I set age restriction filters on my journal or entry?
On the "Display" Tab of the My Account Settings page, there's an "Adult Content" option, which gives you three choices: "Is suitable for everyone", "Should be viewed with discretion", "Is suitable for ages 18+". Whichever of these you choose will be the default setting for all of your journal entries.
Below the "Adult Content" menu is an optional box marked "Adult Content Reason", where you can write whatever you like. This text will be displayed wherever your Age Filtered Notice appears.
