Bryan of Brutal Naivety called my attention to a new feature on the Blogspot blogs—the "Flag?" button. This button offers you, the reader, the opportunity to flag the content of the blog as "objectionable." Blogspot keeps track of the number of times that readers flag a blog, and after some unstated number of flags, they decide what action to take.

It's really not a terrible policy, since the only real consequence of a flag-waving readership is that the blog may be "delisted," which means that Blogspot will not promote the site.

For some of us the absence of any "objectionable" flags may suggest that we're not doing the job right.
