CONTENT WARNING PROBLEM? Try This Steps to fix it.

I have been faced with a problem on one of my blogs concerning the CONTENT WARNING page that restricts subscribers and readers of my blog from gaining direct access to my posts. I have been through hell and back searching online for a solution to this problem. I guess some of my new visitors find the site offensive and the went ahead to report my Blog to google. This really affected my adsense and volume of traffic which bothered me a whole lot but I kept searching forums and I finally stumbled upon this solution... I hope it helps another person like it did for me.




Occasionally, a blog owner may find his blog prefaced by one of two possible content warnings.

The two warnings may look the same (to some folks), but they are set - and removed - in completely different ways. Blog owners need to understand the differences.

Depending upon who applies the "Adult Content" advice, you'll see differing advice.

Content Warning

The blog that you are about to view may contain content only suitable for adults. In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Terms of Service

This is a warning set by the blog owner, using Settings - Other - "Adult Content?".

Content Warning

Some readers of this blog have contacted Google because they believe this blog's content is objectionable. In general, Google does not review nor do we endorse the content of this or any blog. For more information about our content policies, please visit the Blogger Terms of Service

This is a warning set by Google, after complaints are submitted by multiple blog viewers.

If the latter warning is in place, the blog owner can request review. If they find nothing objectionable, Blogger will declare the blog acceptable - but their finding will not override any setting made by the blog owner.

If the blog owner has to request review of the blog by Blogger, and wait until Blogger can conduct a review, that may be time wasted. If Blogger finds nothing objectionable, they will reset their own flag, and remove the second Content Warning interstitial. The owner selected flag will remain - and the first warning will remain also.

If you find your blog prefaced by a Content Warning (and you disagree with the presence of the warning), first check your dashboard setting, at Settings - Other - "Adult Content". Examine the warning in detail - then request review after you have verified that your "Adult Content?" setting is not enabled.

If you change the setting, remember to clear browser cache, and restart the browser, before concluding that a review by Blogger is necessary.

Note that the warning - which ever one is active - is only advisory. Anybody can Agree to the warning, regardless of age or personal preference, by accident or intentionally.

If you advertise the blog, where people who will not appreciate its content may gather, you may still be vulnerable to complaints - and possible deletion, because of complaints received. Don't use the setting as a bulletproof shield - it's not bulletproof.
