There are several feeds that have been flagged as potential adult content, not just the one, there are 25 of them. But I agree that there should be some dialog with the producers of the feeds before they get flagged, that's where Mefeedia did go wrong, agreed. The process is being refined.

Here's a suggestion... You need contact info for the feed owner to notify them (allow owners to claim their feed)... perhaps notify them that their feed will be flagged as explicit and offer them a choice to provide a rating category if they desire (PG, PG-13, R, X... whatever scale you want).
