Always thought QBN was like a little slice of the whole internet, good and bad. Only the most poisonous things should be removed. I didn’t think those threads were poisonous and they gave me a little smile every once in a while. Oh well.

i am for the idea of being able to hide that type of content on demand. completely removing it is going to backfire, much like many people above have already mentioned it.

The NSFW stuff is embarrassing and is preventing grown-ups from engaging with the site.
- I don't agree. If more grown-ups would contribute more seriously good content, the nsfw would disappear by the weight of the better content.uan
- In that case we would benefit from more ways to share that content here- more media support. Gifv, reddit video, mp4, webp, etcscarabin
- uan, you just found the catch 22. we can't get eddie van halen unless we make a triumphant video, but we can't make a triumphant video without eddie van halen.SteveJobs

IIRC the idea behind those threads was to keep that stuff in one place, and out of sight... a bit like the politics thread. I don't know if removing those threads is going to be effective at removing that content from the site, or making moderation any easier. It might make it harder if it spreads it around...?
What about a community moderation feature? Maybe 10+ downvotes and the post is flagged or outright removed?

This place is rather like one of those villages with increasingly elderly residents. A place that acknowledges that without new blood it will descend even further into a community of olympic standard bin shouters and dirty, but ultimately impotent, old bastards. Removing the T&A is like giving a new lick of paint to an unused bus stop.
What we need is a new discoteque.

I’m curious how long it will take for a new members to arrive and whether anyone will be less of a dude
- Months? Years?nb
- We laid the bait, now to hide in the bushes and wait to pull the stringscarabin
- Probably never. This place will burn out like the sun with a 90yo drgs wretching up some culture war vomit and Nairn shouting at why wolves ate his Pot Noodle.face_melter
- graf will evolve and turn 100% of his brain power to posting, moving his consciousness to a machine and leaving his body to dry up and die.face_melter
- i_was will finally get his promotion at the racism factory and spend his time mired in racism management issues and wildcat racism strikes.face_melter
- And I'll probably die screaming at the sun, after living a life of deep regret and misery.face_melter

Lol start posting nudes into this thread just to see what happens
Family Meeting is the new COTD

I don't really care but I can see how the grot might put some people off, and I'd prefer more people here (perhaps even some that aren't middle-aged men) over the grot.

It isn't 2002 anymore.

- It means times change. What flew in a 'design' forum 10 or 20 years ago doesn't today.i_monk

I agree with nb that one of the cool things of QBN is that it allows the good as well as the bad. And if there aren't dedicated NSFW threads, then NSFW stuff is going to start popping up in other threads without a doubt. It's fine. Leave it as it is.

If this was real life politics, which side is liberal: pro-COTD or neo-puritans?
- Reducing everything to politics, sides, tribes and labels is the cause of many of this planets problems. It's not a political question FFS.Morning_star
- Its too late nowdrgs
- It's not too late if we decide to stop perpetuating it.CyBrainX

Remove NSFW threads and you will be moderating POTD instead
- dorf6
Can there be an option on each user's profile to show NSFW threads?
