So, what's the conclusion
- admins that don't have the time to moderate threads also don't have the time to delete threads?kingsteven

I see this place as my one stop shopping. It has everything the interwebs has to offer. Some things I want to see and some things I don't. I have learned to use my mouse to not click stuff I don't want to see. I don't need someone else deciding that for me. This is a forum, i thought they were supposed to be for expressing your personal veiws.
- I wonder why so few women engage on this site?Nairn
- How is showing nsfl stuff a personal view? I agree with you btw.monospaced

Weird that this comes up months after we took a poll and actually cared about it.
I was once banned for posting a shot of testicles. Just plain ol’ ballsack. Now it’s a political issue that must be belabored for a year.
Just make a decision, we’ll live with it. And if we don’t we’ll die mad. Who cares
- I wouldn't exactly say it's political. But I understand what you're saying.monospaced

NSFL should have been banned from day 1.
All I ask is that QBN doesn't start censoring things and becoming a Facebook-like site. If Simon's, and other tasteful nudes, can't be shown, that would be censorship, imho.
- see, i appreciate the nsfl thread, but fuckit, i'm not precious about it. It, and others, don't need to be front and centre on an open design forum.Nairn
- NSFL is our 4chan level threadsted

Censorship won. Maybe it's time we part ways. Everything comes to an end and my relationship with this site is each day more painful than the last one. I'll seek the future instead of holding on to the past.

Think of it as a steam valve, and you are a steam moderator. The steam will eventually go somewhere. Right now you have it concentrated in one place.

I think those who are offended by those threads stopped visited them a while ago. But I understand the lack of ressources to moderate them, is there that much moderation going on in these threads?

Keep the dedicated NSFW & NSFL threads please as it will just end up everywhere else. Plus we are all big boys and girls, if we want to see a man lose his arm on a bike, we know where to go. Most don't though, so can avoid it.
- If you want nsfw content why do you need it on qbn?! Rubbish argument. NO OFFENSEmonospaced

Censorship blah balh.
It's more like this:
A beautiful neighbourhood of elegant town houses are built in the late 1800's. The owners work hard to pay for their houses and enjoy their humble lives. They have good values, morals and look after each other... The neighbourhood is desirable, liveable, it looks pleasant, calm, cared for.
Gradually time passes...
The cost to maintain the houses rises and the residents grow old, their children move on... The houses are still valuable, young couples move in and renovate them, and the cycle continues...
Except for one house, which falls into an almost ruined state, needing a new roof, etc... it's sold at auction. To a buy-to-let builder. He sets his crew to work on it, splitting it up into bedsits. He then rents it to the council and earns a nice yield.
However the council houses the disaffected there, and the once peaceful neighbourhood starts to see an increase in anti-social behaviour. An older resident is mugged, another burgled.. etc...
Time passes...
The young families that renovated the old houses are now old themselves... and move on... the houses are increasingly being bought up by buy-to-let landlords. Crime has increased. Graffiti tagging is everywhere. No one cares for the front gardens. There's trash blowing about and needles in the gutter...
Young couples look at the houses, but are put off by the 'vide' of the neighbourhood.
Time passes..
Eventually, the once lovely cared for neighbourhood is simply a ghetto and there's big talk on the local news of pulling it all down and rebuilding it as social housing or selling the land off to help pay off the council deficit.
The NSFW content on QBN is like that first buy-to-let landlord.
I've known QBN since the more design focused Newstoday era.
Frankly QBN is a bit embarrassing in the last few years. Chick/butt/boob of the day / is far too frequently at the top the list in the side bar.
It puts people off, and soon qbn will be nothing but a repository of filth. Nothing to do with Design.
It's not about 'censorship'. It's about creating a good neighbourhood.
I'm guilty of posting some fairly unpleasant things in the past, opinions I normally keep to myself and disregard, and certainly wouldn't post anywhere else on the web... but when you see the NSFW content around here, somehow it 'encourages' a change in mindset.
So I'd be supper happy to see QBN be more creative industry focused.

lol, clearly not, in that case. Go have a look way back then - same as it ever was.Nairn - yepGardener
- haha, this place has always been brutal if anything the NSFW threads are a gentrification - building a wall between neighbourhoodskingsteven
- that was only removed because it cost too much to maintain.kingsteven
- I used to think that, but sometimes I get sent back to the start of a thread after a post and 15 years back folk are arguing the same in the commentsPhanLo
- It's just that the names are people who've long since left and got on with their lives. Lol.PhanLo
- I don't remember porn on newstoday. I used to have a personal account, posted my early portfolio on there. Used to look at newstoday at work with no shame.shapesalad
- A lot of the people who post in those threads don't add anything anywhere else, it's like they came here by accident.PhanLo
- Omaha posted more in COTD than any design related places.PhanLo
- COTD wasn't around in the Newstoday era but NT was not more design focused. There have always been a majority of nonsense threads and pointless hostility.CyBrainX

Will I get banned if I start another COTD thread?

Here's some answers to some questions you might have, hope this clears it up.
Are you getting divorced?
At the moment, no... but... it doesn't look good.Do you still love us?
Of course I do.Do you still love Mom?
Yes, very much, but your mother's asked me to leave and I must respect her position on the matter.Is it our fault?
No, no. Obviously, we made certain sacrifices as a result of having children, but, uh...no, Lord, no.

I mean, at this point QBN is alllllmost a MGTOW forum
like a softcore MGTOW
- What I mean to say is that it feels closer to a MGTOW forum than a design forumnb
- had to google that
"Men Going Their Own Way"pango - I disagree, but we do have some very loud MGTOW incels.garbage
- I remember having to explain MGTOW to somebody on here because set seemed to be becoming one and I called him out on it.garbage
- Is there a check box for mgtow?pango

A good point made in the comments here -
Take a look at the list of sites where content has been blacklisted (e.g c@r0collective for the last decade) and reflect on how many of these ‘editorial’ choices have contributed to the decline of design content being posted here...
If it’s technically unfeasible then post the problem and someone here will solve it.. embrace the spirit of web forums and live a little
Or work with us here and let’s write the community guidelines...
There are loads of things you could be doing to improve the family but you need to go into therapy before you can fix the kid’s.

Banning and hiding and censoring always gets you good results right?
