Usage when you create a new post:

NSFL (Purple - public)

for content that could be perceived as disturbing/upsetting for some audience.

NSFW (Red - only viewable by level 6+)

for content inappropriate for viewing in public, such as real fight, violence, nudity, extremely graphic/gore, dead people...

The NSFW option in a post, under its title, will still be available in case you change your mind and want to turn a NSFL post you just submitted into a NSFW one.

Great! Though, are those descriptions backward? I would think NSFL (Not Safe For LIFE) would be for the horrible things no one should ever see, and NSFW (Not Safe For WORK) for mildly-disturbing or inapporpriate for a work environment/some social situations.

As you posted it, NSFL would be for mild stuff and NSFW for the horrible things.

You are correct, but the thing is NSFW has been here since day one, and the majority of the content tagged as such is not always NSFW. It has also been used to hide content from lurkers/scrappers (since you have to be level 6+ to see it).

It would take a lot of work to find and re-tag/classify what is NSFW and what is NSFL.

NSFL is more like something you'd like to share with the public, but also warn them about the possibility that the content might really disturb them.

According to the online definition of these terms:

  • NSFW (Not Safe for Work): Content that may be inappropriate for professional or public viewing due to potentially offensive material such as nudity, sexually explicit themes, violence, or strong language (lol).

  • NSFL (Not Safe for Life): Content that is considered highly disturbing, potentially causing psychological distress or trauma to those who view it.

If you have any suggestion on how it should be done, let me know in .

I like. But then again I thought what pussy faggots on here get their fee fees hurt?

But yeah I don’t need to see gore.

I seen enough people die.

I remember faces of death when I was a kid. That guy that pushed himself on the band saw stuck with me, really cut me up.

I remember when you did this. I didn’t like it because I lurked. But the reasoning to hide benine shit was awesome. Made me love poal even more.
