Posting NSFW Content on Waving the Wheat

[Jayhawker]

Hi everyone, we've created a board specifically for the posting of NSFW content. This is basically just a way to allow people to post, but to keep it in an area where it's not open to anyone who happens to drop by the board. NSFW content posted outside of "The Outhouse" will be moved there.

Access to this board is allowed only to those people who are apart of the "Dirty Birds" membergroup. You can request to join this group in your Account Settings.

In order to reinforce the 18+ nature of the area, members will be required to have a birthdate in their profile showing they are above the age of 18.

Nice, I'm a fan of this...now I can hopefully open threads at work and not have my boss catch me with some random picture of Jenna Jamison up in a thread about bacon or something

This board just keeps getting better

I went there and not so much.
Do I need to logout and reconnect?

Never mind.

I'm 100% not. Was there ANY incidence of someone not labeling unsafe-at-chimp-cubicle-job friendly content NSFW? If there was, I missed it, and I've been here consistently.

It's you asshole complainers who will ruin this site too, Joe. Fuck you.

Think of it more as, there's now a forum where you don't have to worry about normal threads getting in the way of the boob threads.

Re: Posting NSFW Content on Waving the Wheat

We don't have to put NSFW in the title in threads there do we?

[Jayhawker]

Re: Posting NSFW Content on Waving the Wheat

No. It's generally assumed that ALL posts there are going to be NSFW. So it's an "enter at your own risk" type of deal.

Re: Posting NSFW Content on Waving the Wheat

But people will complain about the new forum too, just as they bypassed the NSFW tags and complained.

Once you get in the business of acquiescing to the complainers of an Internet forum, it's all over. They won't stop complaining and insisting they get their way, with further levels of censorship.

And there's the rub: you can't control content on the Net. Nobody who has ever tried has succeeded. This place was founded on a more enlightened attitude and to see it tossed off so quickly is enormously disappointing.

I don't recall anyone complaining, rather just suggesting a forum specifically for NSFW stuff. I think there's a difference, but that's just one man's opinion.

Wrong Mentality. The new forum was setup to in essence remove the ability to complain. That forum is in essence a no holds bared area (as long as things are legal) with very little moderation. If someone is unhappy with the content there then they are free to not enter that area. In fact, we can further please them by removing their access to "that filth" and they never have to worry about it. That isn't acquiescing, its removing the ability for the complaint to even happen, which I think is fair.

We aren't controlling the NET, we are giving those that don't want it a way out, and those that do a way in.

Re: Posting NSFW Content on Waving the Wheat

Hell, I was the one suggesting a NSFW forum over on the interim board. When it didn't happen, I thought the incredible had happened: a truly free, respectful forum.

Today I did deliberately push the envelope a bit with a thread, but I clearly labeled it NSFW from the very outset. If anybody complained, that's my problem. It's some douche worrying about his imaginary kid, or somebody else's imaginary kid (the kid which, if she/he exists at all, has seen it all and worse already) seeing what he's just seen on a forum and getting bent, insisting that there be changes made "for the children." That's where I have a problem.

I'm still on your side. And I applaud you and the other mod(s) for a mostly even handed job so far.

Just beware of the complainers. Chances are they are on some personal Nazi control trip.

Re: Posting NSFW Content on Waving the Wheat

We all just wanna view the Boobs by ourselves... in our own dark room... where we have the privacy to rub our.... keyboards. Hence, the creation of the Outhouse, where you can post whatever you want (keeping within TOS). Now, please go post there cause my keyboard is already bored with the current postings.
