I've been annoyed at ASACP ever since I realized their meta tagging system was essentially useless for any professional adult site builder. Registering every site I build with their too-complicated tag system isn't practical.
All we need is one universal tag that can tell ANY browser "This site is not for kids".
ASACP's inability to see the power of such a tag has always convinced me that they are a fraudulent organization, more interested in perpetuating their own existence than in solving the problem.

I completely agree. It would be so much easier if it became a standard on the internet to merely add a general tag, or hey, even content specific tags such as "violence", "full nudity". "Hardcore sexual activity", etc.
It is really such a simple thing. Then let the common browsers implement this with a sort of password protection that the parent can enable. Problem solved - at least if the parent actually cared enough to learn to use the system - but chances are, if they did, they'd be sitting next to their child on the computer watching as it is wherever possible.
IF the government is going to make laws out of it, I personally would not mind it if they did make it mandatory that we used these tags. Jsut as long as they didn't require BS such as a centralized registry where we have to provide our names, addresses, etc or some sort of licensing/fee structure. Of course, I'm not really what you'd call an optimist already, and from my seven years in this business I'd be shocked if the government did something that actually made sense relating to the industry.
