    What if we set the nsfw threads so they don’t bump in the left menu when posts are made? Anyone interested in participating in these threads would just bookmark them and carry on as usual, they would just essentially be invisible threads. No history would be lost and new users looking for design content won’t be scared off.

    This kind of thinking already has a precedent here with our “prevent this reply from appearing on the cover” box (keeping things nice for visitors), we’re just extending the most extreme of it to include not appearing in the menu as well.

    • OR delete them all and give us one invisible thread strictly for trash. The backroom or basement of QBNscarabin
    • Then people would put dead bodies in the basement.cherub
    • that's not a bad idea, QBN already has a basement :)sted
    • Yes, this is exactly the suggestion I've been making for yonks now. Some threads already have this functionality.Nairn
    • That would require working on the site. Easier to just delete and sip latte.ESKEMA
    • @ESK - there are shitloads of threads that can be posted in that don't bump into the sidebar already. It wasn't intentional, but it's happened.Nairn
    • Is there still a lift from the moderator team with this approach? this thread started with that seemingly being the concern. couldn't pay me enough to mod nsfwSteveJobs
    • I think we’re largely a self-moderated place these days. We’re really good at categorizing and keeping stuff in the appropriate threadsscarabin
    • Even our nsfw stuff is already neatly organized. We just don’t know what to do with itscarabin
    • I think the issue is trying to appear credible to outsiders with boxes of smut in the living room. Let’s just put it in the basement so we can have visitorsscarabin
    • With no visitors it’s just us sitting in our smut yelling at each other over the same shit we’ve been arguing about for two decadesscarabin
    • NSFW is lamecanoe
