If a thread is NSFW, you could be able to select a thread mood that isn't a smiley, but red text saying NSFW
It'd make it easier to read. What do you think?

It seems like a nice idea; sometimes, "NSFW" can't be included in the thread title because there is a lack of space. I approve of this.

bad idea

I'm not saying if it's a good or bad idea, but it's no different than breaking the rules with any other thing. It's not like a delete or edit button that could be abused for the worst. This is more or less on the same level as a spam thread.

i think thats a good idea. yeah of course it could be abused but when you really look at it, there wouldnt be much harm in people doing so.
and i also think a spam thread is a good idea, however i think the only way it could work is for all the posts there to not count towards the post counts, as to deter people who simply want to +1 all the time. it would still be a spam thread, but that is all it'd be.

I don't really see how it could be abused... allow the same stuff we already allow, but offer up an NSFW smiley.

The only way to abuse that is to put the NSFW on things that are SFW...I dunno how or why someone would abuse that too regularly.

Chain posting like some users do.

Kicks.

But, it can be bannable offense, like making a thread and the title being completely irrelevant. Though, I think most mods just lock those types, unless the user continues to do so.

I guess. Or maybe just don't go into the BBS at the workplace. That would work too.

This is one of those abusive things that can probably be moderated better. Besides it's not something that would be overly abusive like an Edit button.

Holy crap, a good and relatively simple idea to come out of the BBS! I fully agree with this, and with the fact that it'll be abused a bit at first.

However, novelty doesn't last forever, so soon enough it'll just be used for practical reasons anyhow. I say go for it!

It is, but it can be abused as well.

Yes, but abusing this would be stupid, because not as many people would view your posts, and that can't do harm.

Not necessarily. I've seen some threads with the [NSFW] tag go up to 6 or 7 pages.

Exactly, I guess that it would lead to more views, generated out of being curious.

I don't see how it "being abused" is an issue. I mean, even if we grant that someone might label their perfectly safe-for-work thread "NSFW", what harm would that possibly do?

"Oh, I was so excited for this thread that I expected to be porn that I whipped my cock out before I even opened it, and now I just feel cold and heartbroken."

If someone really feels the need to mislabel a thread, what's stopping them from just fraudulently writing "NSFW" in the thread title?

NSFW content is mostly posted by trolls.
How many trolls do you know that would be kind enough to share that type of information before hand?
They are awful and evil everyone hates them!

NSFW as the start of the title is much clearer.

An excellent idea given the limits on title length. I motion that instead of text reading "NSFW" it's a salivating smiley or something. Just saying.


Your opinion is wrong.

It's like 5 characters (4 if you don't use space), Not a big loss of space now, is it?
