Is it really safe in here?


 Always be reminded (Taken from Google)


I've been active in 2-4 blog groups in Facebook for almost 2 months now and I'm also actively participating in their comment exchanges. Though I've been receiving some comments on my new found blogger-friends (Thanks a Bunch! Much Appreciated =D ), there are still those who are hesitant to visit my blog because they said it has content warning. Even some wanted me to remove my content warning as they say they will not visit my site if I don't remove it.

So what is content warning in a nutshell (my description)?


 This is how you'd see my blog for first time viewers =P


It's reminder that the following contents may contain some themes, languages, images, videos and other things that may not be suitable for young viewers. It is always advised that adults should supervise their young ones whenever they check on a website. For those who wanted to take a sneak-peak (XD), that's entirely up to you to find out.

Just think of it as a Rated PG (Parental Guidance) or SPG (Strong Parental Guidance) reminder from the MTRCB. It's easy right? =). There's no harm in comparing the two as both would serve as reminders to everyone.


Rated SPG! (Taken from Google)


Let me assure you first that most of my posts here are safe. Also, I DON'T post any PORNOGRAPHIC material here nor endorse any PORN SITE in any way to anyone. Even porn sites have content warnings of their own to warn viewers that what they about to see or hear may be sensitive to ones views.

At the end of the day, if you ask me if I would remove my content warning page, I'd say NO =P.

  2. it's your site and you have all the right to do what you want to do as long as it doesn't hurt anyone in any way. Anyways, WMYHT 100 day challenge on my site is " What Makes You Happy Today 100 Days Challenge" that I authored and maybe I'll try to make a meme for everyone to follow. :)

  3. I saw the warning and it somehow made me nervous. Lol. Fortunately, nothing's scary on your site. It's fine as well because you'll see the people who are willing to do the extra step to visit you. :-)

  4. I think it's okay to have the warnings because not all bloggers are 18 and above and for me having that warning means you do not want to offend anyone who might not be very used to liberated stuff. It's perfectly fine, ika nga at least meron kang pasintabi... =)

  5. Well, when I saw the warning at the very first time it made me more curios on what you really have in your blog. Its fine with me and its nice to have this kind of warning. Anyway, you have interesting blog so keep it up! :)

  6. It's your site, Kuya.. So kung feel mong kelangan lagyan ng warning, walang problema. But then, kapag first time visitor mo, magkakaroon ng hesitation na pagbukas ng site mo. Honestly.. yun ang reaction ko..

    Anyway, it's your decision po.. and there is nothing wrong with that. At least, kung meron man mabasa na medyo offensive, at least they have been warned.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well I thought its a porn site! They usually have it

    ReplyDelete
  22. Before I was really hesitant to open your blog. I might open a lewd pix inside here. But I dared to open it and I found nothing explicit foul language or porn pictures. Now that I know I don't have any second thought anymore in opening this blog.

  23. you also can't blame them though... alam mo na, medyo may pagka-paranoid ang ilan... hehehe

  24. You have your reasons why you have to place some kind of warning in this site. I respect that. Perhaps it's a style or some kind of teaser because as you wrote here and I quote:
    "Let me assure you first that most of my posts here are safe. Also, I DON'T post any PORNOGRAPHIC material here nor endorse any PORN SITE in any way to anyone." - there's really nothing to worry about, so why the need to put a warning? So I concluded - it's your teaser and it's your style! So go for it.

  25. I respect your reason for doing that. But at first I thought your site has a virus or something. hehe

    ReplyDelete
  26. hmmm. but when i encounter such, first thing that comes to mind is the content may be pornographic so i go right ahead...hehe. joke. but seriously, it makes people afraid to go further...

  27. The warning worked on me... I had to check if my daughter is behind me.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I understand why people would be afraid to look further into the site because of the warning. With all the viruses nowadays... Hay! Hehe.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I get your point. Lol. But yeah, I admit I am hesitant at first to visit your site expecting some photos, language, etc that I might uncomfortable with. But I just took the courage and now I am liking your blog. :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. I completely understand your thoughts Mark. Your blog contain strong language not suitable for minors. Well, there is nothing wrong about it. That's you! It's your ways of expressing yourself. I have no problem with your blog. Honesty, I start learning your style of photography. Cheers!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I personally don't mind the warning. I've read blogs which had really disturbing content and language, and yours is still decent enough so no problemo ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. sabi nga ni JUlie it is your site..do whatever pleases you..
    ..natakot akong mag click ha! hahahah..first time ko rin dito..
    pero dahil curios ako go lang...
    ~sheng~

    ReplyDelete
  33. I don't mind the warning as well though I deem your site safe and has really good content.

    ReplyDelete
  34. It can drive readers away. But for those who knows you, they wouldn't mind.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I agree with Archie. But then again, it's your blog and you're the best person to be the judge of this.

    ReplyDelete
  36. You almost drove me away, actually, LOL. And then I remembered one admin telling me from months back that your content is safe, so here I am.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Nung unang pagpunta ko sa blog mo, akala ko porn site. hahaha

    ReplyDelete
  38. matutuwa na sana ako, akala ko porno site. LOL Swabe naman pala. For general patronage naman pala.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Yung totoo akala ko nong una porno site kaya hesitant ako pero dahil curious ako I still check it out, hahahaha. Ayun! GP naman pala. No worries, I do appreciate the warning kasi there will be times na hindi natin maiiwasan that there are stuff na ma-ipost natin that is not good for the young ones.

    ReplyDelete
  40. well even for me who have been to this site would always get alarmed whenever I see your landing page hehehe... well walang basagan ng trip, so you might be marginalizing possible young people with open mind hehehe...

    ReplyDelete
  41. iniisip ko nga kung anong makikita ko rito e. hahaha.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Like what everybody mentioned above I do too feel the hesitation to go further more..then I realized that your link came from FBW syndication and it might just you have some adult content and with that you want to warn us firsthand..and like what Archie and Adeline its your blog you can do whatever you please...

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ok lang yun. At least may pagbibigay babala. Karapatan mo yun at nirerespeto namin.

    ReplyDelete
  44. initially, i also wonder what content would be with the warning... :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. That is your rights. Just go ahead if that's what u want.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's better to be careful than sorry. It's good to advise readers about what you think you rate your blog "safety". It's good analogy that you did for the MTRCB. It's very considerate of you.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Gawin mo gusto mo but there is no total freedom because you are just the sender of the message, you cannot control the receiver of the message. Therefore, be responsible is the motto we all bloggers should be reminded of. Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is a free country, you can do what you want.

    ReplyDelete
  49. i also thought there were some porno in your blog seeing the warning .. hahaha ...but at least it is now clear ...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Hahaha.. Tigas lang ng ulo markpogi! hahahaha.. Sige, keep your warning! Hehe. That way, your blog is remembered well. XD Trademark kung baga.

    ReplyDelete
  51. The warning is fine with me though I felt hesitant on my first visit. You have the right not to remove it.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Well honestly, there is a little part in me that hesitates to visit your blog because of the warning. But then again, I have to do my duty to reciprocate.

    ReplyDelete
  53. at first medyo na alarm ako sa warning ng site mo, katagalan nasanay na rin binabasa ko rin kasi muna ang content bago ako nag cocomment or mag like =)

    ReplyDelete
  54. It's always your prerogative to remove or keep that warning, but if you think that your content is safe for all ages, as user of your blog, I cast 1 vote for the removal of that warning. ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  55. never hesitated... sometimes, we have articles not suitable for minors which are not necessarily porn. it's your blog... you have all the right to do whatever you want with it. Yahweh bless.

    ReplyDelete
  56. When I first saw your warning, I decided not to proceed as I usually have my young children beside me when I use the computer. So I just tried another time and saw nothing to be wary of so...

    ReplyDelete
  57. Lol, I was shocked when I opened this blog. I thought it is a porn site but it is nice to know that create an awareness to your readers. but as a blogger without any malicious contents, don't put a warning so that your readers will not hesitate to visit your blog. :D
