Hmm...
A Dumb Door made a good point in the rule thread about allowing NSFW content. Click the link to check it out.

Since we do have access to the spoiler tag, I am open to the idea of axing a few of the current rules and opening up The Flood to mostly all topics, save anything illegal and a couple other items that are irritating (soliciting and spoiling movies/books/tv shows).

This potential new ruleset would also affect the other forums (Serious and Gaming, where applicable).

If Not Safe For Work threads were clearly marked in the title and the potentially offensive content was put in a spoiler with a short description about what was inside, would you be in favor of allowing them here?

Only for Serious and Gaming. I don't know why you would have NSFW content in a laxxed board.

You're going to allow NSFW?

Almost always, with moderation
Nope, there is a reason we can't have nice things.

I'm a definite "No"

I was a big believer in the rules B.net put forward. The moderators taking things out of context and unrightfully banning was what ruined it but those rules were perfect.

I don't trust giving these people any form of slack, they always seem to abuse it.

In this case, keep it to Serious. If someone's going around parading pics of dead Americans/Israeli or Palestinians and boasting on a topic while disguising it with a serious tone, banning should be issued.

Now that I see it, letting NSFW in doesn't seem like a very good idea anymore.

I agree with A Dumb Door. If NSFW images/threads are appropriately marked, then I see no reason why they should be against the rules.

Make a poll perhaps?
I would say no to this idea.
This kinda stuff doesn't need to be openly discussed and shown.

You are very low on the list of users who should be able to have any sort of influence over the rules.
I agree.

Except for people like you, Comms, Ktan, and a few others.
No exceptions. All opinions are held in equal esteem on this forum.

Just checking the forum's pulse. Nothing's decided yet.

If we were going to remove the chains on NSFW, then I would suggest one thing. You know what Bungie did with a good chunk of garbage that clouded up the Destiny forums and was spilling over to others? They made a new forum category, and called it clans.

I wouldn't break the lock and chains on offtopic, gaming, or anywhere else. I would just make a forum, where everything was contained safely in a padded bunker. Because, naturally, if we broke the chains on offtopic or any other forum, some asshat would abuse it. But in a padded cell restricting the content to just that zone, it'd be fine. You put lots of signs up, you know, biological safety hazard signs and construction crews at work signs, stuff like that, to let folks know what they're stepping into, and you let it go from there.

But not into the other forums.

Wasn't it comms that brought up that idea? I think it was called the "Anarchy" forum. Most of the users voted that one down, and I was wary of it for splitting the small population we have now.

That's a pretty good compromise, though, I will admit. If we were to go that route, however, there would be some restrictions placed on the board (no guests or new members allowed, no post count tracking to keep someone from rapidly increasing their rank, etc.).

Like I said. Heavily padded cell.

It's not worth the effort to me. All we'd be doing is making another /b/.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
If the thread is clearly marked and things are kept in spoilers, I have no issues with this idea.

We're not solely trying to make a b.old knockoff. We're trying to make a good forum; to improve b.old. This idea would allow users to create interesting, unique threads, while also giving people who don't want to see NSFW stuff an easy out. I don't see any downside to it.
