Add another filtered tag besides #nsfw to mark explicit/graphic content

Features and Ideas

And a question @ all

What is going to be the next step here???

Ready to decide? If not what are we waiting for (sorry, still have to ask what is the next step as I am still new here on loomio.

we need to vote on a second tag or someone is still busy doing a new design? I do not see why we would need a new design for this as I would prefer the fastest and most simple implementation possible.

I still like @rekado’s idea

Why not offer a customisable tag filter list that is preset to #nsfw. Any other tag in that list would result in matching posts to receive the current “nsfw-treatment”.

22

Well, someone needs to write a proper design and submit it to proposal and then someone needs to write the code. So far there has been only discussion :slight_smile:

23

I have just submitted a pull request to provide a better explanation on the profile settings page of what checking the ‘NSFW’ option will do. This may help.

Personally I don’t think more tags are needed; what we need to do is to explain to people better what NSFW is all about and how to use it. If everyone knows what nsfw is for and how to use it, there won’t be a need for other tags.

24

Bit late to this discussion, but #nsfw is a universally accepted term - everyone knows what it means and what they’re likely to see by revealing something hidden behind a nsfw tag (not just on Diaspora)

25

well #nsfw is not that common in all countries I think and as you can see it can be used in more than one sense http://www.acronymfinder.com/NSFW.html

That’s why I think Goob’s idea of explaining it better is a must have.

I would still prefer using another tag to specify graphic violence as in picture example above to respect people that have been traumatized but still are interested in reading text coming with the picture.

26

here is another discussion showing clearly #nsfw can be confusing for people.

What is the NSFW tag and when we should use it?

I am not seeing the confusion…?

#NSFW = Not safe for work = Something you would not want your boss to see you looking at

Naturally everyone has their own definition of what they think is sfw and what they think is nsfw and this could be where the real issue lies.

But you could create 100x different #tags and each one of those hundred would still be open to personal interpretation and therefore be as completely meaningless as the other 99.

Rick just explained why there should not be more than one tag imho :stuck_out_tongue:

29

Rich, again, the association from “nsfw” to “not safe for work” isn’t that popular. Tbh I saw it first on diaspora*.

The meaning of “not safe for work” per se is intuitive, I’d say.

That’s, what @adrenalin is trying to say, I think.

I think nsfw is useless thing at all. What is the point to censure some data?
If I don’t want see it, I will remove user who add the article or I add his to ignore list.
I vote for remove this from diaspora.

I still doubt that using #nsfw for all stuff isn’t good. Right now I’d guess the #nsfw gets used mostly if not 99% for porn or nudity.Maybe it covers non-sexual graphic content too but -and thats a modification of my previous view we should find a tag for hiding graphic (non sexual content) but allow the text written in the posting.

So messages about cruelty reach more people without immediately offending them with accompanied picture(s)?
