It's a ban on all NSFW material from every thread except ones marked nsfw.

Next thing you know - people are going to come to Feedback Forum and complain "so and so is posting too many nsfw threads" and then you post the search results of "username + nsfw".

Once you make exceptions to a law, such as the freedom of speech, then over time you'll incrementally lose your freedom. Let's take our "real life" freedom of speech for example:
The first limitation of speech was "Don't say FIRE in a movie theater".
Now it's progressed to "Don't say Bomb in an airport",
You can't say "I'm going to kill you",
and you can't even make a finger gun in school anymore.
We can't even protest peacefully on government property without a permit.

Regressing:
There was a time when all forums on this site were NSFW without warning. Then people complained about users posting random NSFW material in "serious forums" so the site mods compromised and let chit chat be the only place for NSFW material.

Now, they are pushing onto our territory because our territory (chit chat) happens to be the most fun and entertaining section of them all.

When you set a mixed rule where SFW threads reside next to NSFW ones, it's proven there there is a gray area between SFW and NSFW that is open to interpretation. For instance, one person might consider this NSFW:




Even though someone else might consider it SFW.


When you see this gray area being tested more frequently, you can guarantee you'll have some prude complain about it. The only real way to preserve our freedom is to make that section unlimited for NSFW material so that these questions never arise. Chit chat must be anything goes. If you don't like it, use the Lounge.


TL;DR version - Don't mix SFW threads with NSFW threads in one section.

" I was just hoping you could be reasonable and agree not to randomly post porn and violence in otherwise sfw threads"

that's not reasonable

part of the allure of chit chat is its tendency toward random offensive material

bunch of old farts itt that need to stay off NSFW websites during work

11/9/2012 12:50:25 PM

what part of WITHOUT WARNING is so fucking hard to understand?

CHIT CHAT MAY BE NSFW WITHOUT WARNING

in other words STAY THE FUCK OUT OF CHIT CHAT AT WORK

the reason this is becoming an issue is because people are abusing the "NSFW without warning" policy.

if there is a thread entitled ''nice asses'' or ''hot babes'' that isn't labeled NSFW, that's one thing.

but there is zero reason to post random porn or grisly pics in the middle of an otherwise SFW thread/discussion. there are tons of threads labeled or otherwise known to be NSFW. post your random porn there, not in the middle of a talk about restaurants or whatever. it serves no other purpose than to disrupt a thread that everyone could have otherwise participated in, and will hurt everyone that enjoys this site in the end.

i didn't think it was possible for settledown to get any more obnoxious as a user, but he proved me wrong. wish he was put in time-out for longer.

Nobody has been abusing the policy. They've been using it.

11/9/2012 3:44:44 PM

if it wasn't being abused, this thread would have never been made. chit chat has LONG been "nsfw without warning", but it hasnt been an issue until people like you and settledown started saying "HEY LOOK, TITS" in threads unnecessarily.

[Edited on November 9, 2012 at 3:49 PM. Reason : ibt "tits are always necessary"]

11/9/2012 3:48:55 PM

I never did that

11/9/2012 3:51:36 PM

Am i the only one who doesn't see the problem?

Post links to all the nsfw shit in normal threads if it is so rampant

Again, one post in one thread is not abusing a policy, it's using the policy.

11/9/2012 4:01:28 PM

^^when you edit your posts, does that mean you didn't approve your initial post? why do put that disclaimer on every post, even when you edit your posts half the time?

and the several instances that it was done have been mentioned and linked several times. tits in a thread about trump. semi-erect dick in a thread about cell phones. and a dismembered body in a thread that had absolutely nothing to do with dismemberment. and now retardboy is posting porn in FF.

11/9/2012 4:03:12 PM

So tell me where the abuse is? It's one post on three completely independent threads that were days apart in a forum with 89942 topics.

I might add:
The dick picture, as pointed out was a repost of one Eaton Bush posted that Bullet refuses to acknowledge and pins on me.

The dismemberment picture was posted during a discussion about "the real world"

I rest my case. He is out of touch with reality.

11/9/2012 4:08:21 PM

^^ I didn't do any of that

actually smart guy, i've acknowledged it multiple times. so what if he posted it first?

and i can't believe you'd try to accuse somebody of being out of touch with reality.

V eh, I guess I'm a little upset that I need to stop going to chit-chat mainly because of one guy who also wrecks almost every thread in TSB too.

literally upset over this. l o l

11/9/2012 4:26:17 PM

^true, my bad.

Yet, you're still using it. You twist and contort everything just to portray me as some evil protagonist out to destroy TWW. You say things, and repeat them over and over, even though you know what you're saying is misleading.

11/9/2012 4:28:31 PM

^dude, you're crazy. but let's talk about settledown.

11/9/2012 4:35:20 PM

We were talking about settledown before you came in here.
