What is appropriate content for DonationCoder?

<< < (7/43) > >>

f0dder:
I think NSFW is a good enough idea, and is a sign of respect from the poster's side. Of course what is deemed "safe for work" is in the eye of the beholder, but I think most people here have some common sense. And people who are easily offended would click the "don't show NFSW content" and everybody would be happy. I don't think there would be many threads marked NSFW, and I think it'd be a waste of time going through the forum to tag old threads.

I'm against censorship in general, as it doesn't really bring anything good with it - but I do support more or less banning religion and politic related stuff; it always degrades to mud-throwing. I don't even think it should be allowed in the NSFW-tagging way mentioned above, because people who would visit politic/religion related threads would end up building large amounts of animosity against each other. Bad bad.

Can't say I've been offended by anything on DonationCoder (I'm not a conservative christian :P),  but I have wondered at a few threads like the YouPorn one and some of mouser's toy-threads, thought that perhaps it was a bit inappropriate, but nothing worse than a shoulder-shrug. Have a hard time understanding that anybody could be offended by that, but hey - people are different.

I think the NSFW tag needs to be used sparingly.  Imagine coming to a forum for the first time and seeing NSFW on numerous posts.  I think that would turn people away, and fast.

I think mouser's thinking of implementing many tags, not just NSFW.  Thus it won't stand out; it'll just be one  selection among many keywords.  I hope we get to create our own tags; this would let the forum self-organize itself into topics everyone cares about.

Again, where do you draw the line.  NSFW tags only work when the person creating the post feels its not safe for work.  What if I feel something is perfectly safe.

You can't, really.  One surfer's filth is anothe's treasure... and that will never change.  But there *are* extremes everyone seems to agree about, and I think (hope) that's what we are discussing here.  The grey area will remain as it always has, and some of it will be marked NSFW and some of it won't.  I think that's a fair compromise.

Veign:
Extremes are easy as common sense will handle that.  Its the far left (or is that right) side of things thats tougher.  Those will pass through and some acceptance has to occur on both ends.


Should we setup an auto-tagging system where anything posted by Zaine is marked as NSFW / NSFM (not safe for Microsoft) -  :P
