I notice no blogs have any warning pages. Why is that a TGP or a paysite has to have a warning page if there is explicit content, and blogs do not. Forgive me, if this is a stupid question... But I'm about to start my first blog and wanted to make sure I'm not breaking any rules.

This is a good question. I have a blog however I dont have a warning page on it at all.Comment

TGP's don't "have" to use them, and neither do blogs. Just the majority of TGP's you have seen "chose" to use them, and the majority of blogs you have seen simply have not.Comment

Bullshit. If you have adult content, you need to have one.
Its because the idiots who own them think they are exempt from any warning pages, efforts to keep children off their blog, or from stopping those who do not want to view their site and accidentally stumbled across it.
It is typical porn biz irresponsibility and it will remain this way until someone gets a serious smack down. At that point the bloggers an TGP owners will react like the sky is falling and you will see 200 threads a day about it on GFY, along with a million reasons why you should donate to the FSC.
By NOT having a warning page you are saying that YOU WANT CHILDREN TO ACCESS YOUR SITE. There is no other way to interpret the message you are sending by not having one.Comment

Or you might simply be facing the twin realities that a warning page is not going to deter any minor intent on accessing your site and that such warning pages have never been tested in court. Were you to ever find yourself in that unfortunate position, you could reasonably be accused of putting up a warning page you knew to be ineffective, thus actually doing nothing except giving yourself the chance to claim in court that you attempted to keep minors out.
I see no harm in warning pages and possible marketing benefits from them. But it is an illusion to imagine they protect sites against minors or our legal position in that regard.Comment

I was reading through this thread, hearing the one note chorus wailing away, and was weighing whether to be the lone dissenting voice once again. Thank you for sparing me.
If anyone wants to be the test case for not labeling their site as adult, having no 2257 statement or incorrectly listing a PO Box or email address etc, then by all means do so. You increase the likelihood that I will not be among those hauled into court.
When in doubt, I prefer to err on the side of caution.

Don't forget that some Senators are trying to push through another internet porn bill. One of the main points is that all adult sites must have a warning page.
Especially if you are a US webmaster, it doesn't make sense to build a new adult site without a proper warning page.Comment

I think not having them might contribute to the fuel for congressman to ban internet porn. I would recommend having one for sure.
But really the main thing is to have a the adult tad in the header, that way filters like netnanny can easily recognize the content.Like the desert needs the rain

Hmm. Interesting. I thought for some reason most TGPs did. So it looks like I should be getting a warning page for this then. But if a surfer finds the blog through a keyword he typed into the SE, it's most likely not going to bring them to the Warning Page? So in the end, it's just a prevention against getting into any trouble.Comment

A warning page 100% does not effect your rankings, domain rankings, or possible rankings in the search engines. If you have a problem with trying to tell google/yahoo/ask which is the authority page then use a sitemap.
If done correctly the warning page should drop its page value and pass it to the main page, where it should be.

Haven't seen that...Comment

see, but then the issue arises that if you have a sitemap, more than the warning page will be indexed therefor accessible without the warning page from the SE's, where most minors find their porn
in order to do it properly you would have to have code on the server level so that no matter where or how they came to your site the warning page would pop up
then there is the tgp trades issue, you don't wanna send your trade to a warning page, but then again you always want to have warning page to protect yourself, so what do you do then?
what about people that come from affiliate link that NEVER have a warning page? should affiliate program start sending affiliate links to a warning page? would the affiliates in this thread mind that?Comment

You don't need a warning page, no laws, no rules..
The point of this is to NOT get the warning page listed.. "NOBODY" needs a warning page coming FROM an adult site or se term. If they are surfing adult, from the se's or TGP's they NEVER need to see my warning page.
Like wise, if you have an affiliate ID, why do your visitors ever need to see the warning page?
You can also redirect google users from your warning page to the main page, google hasn't cared for years. ~TheDoc - ICQ7765825

Well Jace, if you are so up for this.. Then why haven't you set all your unique blog pages in google to hit the warning page first?
If a person (kid or adult) is on google searching for porn or already on another adult site - You don't need to show a warning page. By doing so you increase your bounce rates by as high as 25%.. ~TheDoc - ICQ7765825

It was either creating a new thread or bump this one from the grave
I've searched gfy for an answer to this seemingly simple feature for wordpress based blogs, and after some net searching I found two solutions:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-door/
and
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/age-verification/
wp-door works as long as you follow these instructions.
I haven't gotten around to test the second one yet, it's on my to do list.
Anybody else have other warning page plugins for wordpress worth checking out?Strapon Seduction - femdom blog | TwitterComment

It seems like warning pages on just about anything is just a formality. If your blog has a warning page and you get most of your traffic from SE's then changes are those posts/pages that are listed in the SE's will get the traffic sent directly to them and it will bypass the warning page unless you have some kind of dynamic page set up that everyone sees it no matter how they get to the site.
The same with TGP. A TGP might have warning page, but I would venture to guess that most of the SE traffic bypasses it and goes right to the main page.
BTW just as an experiment I typed porn tgp into google and not one of the top 10 results has a warning page. Still. I use them just because I fell more comfortable with them there.Comment

Sorry to interject here, but is there really a law or regulation that says you do?
My blogs are all topless or nude. They're also labeled with http://www.rtalabel.org/ the RTA tag. Should I warn "kids" further with a tantalizing warning page before they hit the blog when they can land on news, war, and football sites without any kind of warning? Is a tit or pussy worse than an open-bone fracture?
I don't agree about porn "irresponsibility" but you're right about the probable smack-down. And the reaction lol.
Absolute disagreement.
Absence of a warning doesn't imply tacit permission or DESIRE to have your site accessed by children anymore than MSNBC's lack of a warning implies they want children to view war footage. Use of a "warning" is merely good form/etiquette to satisfy the moralists out there who think sex is worse than violence.

The blog is already using RTA labeling.
I see your point(s), but as it's been stated before I prefer to err on the side of caution.
That's exactly why I'm liking wp-door. As a plugin, it's integrated with wordpress so that even if you're coming from a search link deep within the site you'll still get the warning page. It's configured so that search engine spiders/robots will NOT get the warning page. And you can add more exceptions if necessary.
The other advantage of using a plugin is that I can turn it on or off.Strapon Seduction - femdom blog | TwitterComment

Pardon the interruption but did Jace pass away or did he just quit the adult business?

I use warning pages because regardless of penalty because I think its shows that I care who uses my sites. I know they don't prevent minors from viewing them but at the end of the day I am doing my part to warn users what they are getting into and who the site is intended for. If a minor decides to break the law and enter the site well I can't do much about a person that chooses to be a criminal.Comment
