I'm making a site similar to digg, only with adults only news, articles and blog posts. I planned to post it here and UW gave me a pefect thread to do it.
Since blog posts can be a pain to read and approve/reject, I think the best way is to let the surfers manage what they like/dislike by means of voting, just like in all digg like sites. Letting users manage the content is on the other hand open invitation to spammers. You need to have loyal bookmarkers base to weed out the spam. Before you have loyal surfers you need to do it yourself.
Walrus has a point that people will come back for more only if they like what they saw the very first time they landed on your page, and you have 10 seconds to impress them. I think more and more people expect to be able to customize the content to their needs.
Making a link list with blog posts is aweome idea and I'll submit my posts wherever possible.
As for the rules... It's hard to define what's a good/bad post. There should be at least 100 words of meaningful and copy-free text. Something about models in the pictures, some story, joke, advice...
Fre hosted adult blogs? NO! You'll be deleting a lot of links in no time. Although, a lot of superb adult related blogs are on free hosts. Maybe you should do invitation-only free host posts. I can give you a list of those quality blogs if you want. I plan to include their posts in my project.
There are tons of TGP-like blogs around. I really don't like them. I don't even like my TGP-like blogs. Obviously, it's hard to make quality adult blog post. You have to do a lot of work only to write 300-500 words post with some value in it. If you make strict rules then you'll have small base of post submitters. If you have lenient rules, you'll end up looking like TGP-like blog.
Maybe it's best to start off with invitation only submits to build a surfers base. After that, implement some kind of voting system and then allow general submits.
