Hey, everyone!

 

We've had discord (link, wink wink) for a little while now, and the most discussed and perhaps confusing topic has been the nsfw channel. A couple of people have reached out to me and asked about and we have been discussing internally for a little bit and came to the conclusion to let you guys decide what to do with it.

 

You know the drill, vote closes in 1 week. The vote with the most votes wins and decides the future of the nsfw channel.

 

Thank you and have a great afternoon! :)

Keep it wtf is this? If we can separate all the NSFW content from the content the kiddies see, then it's their fault if they click saying that they're 18 when they're not.

 

(Besides which, it acts as pretty much a "catch-all" filter for the most cancerous stuff.)

I think the biggest question i got when people came to me and talked about this is that we are so anal about nudity and 18+ material on servers but on discord its suddenly ok. It's only fair for it to be a community vote as some people obviously feel uncomfortable about it.

An M rated game is for anyone 17+, so someone could have TF2 or CS:GO or whatever and it could still be illegal for them to look at porn lol. The second thing is even viewing the NSFW channel is totally optional, everyone was telling me to just mute #anime when I joked about how bad it was getting, but for some reason a channel that has discord specifically ask you "This channel is NSFW are you 18 and okay with this?" has different logic applied to it. :thinking:

I only use it to post ironic nsfw, so neutral if it goes or stays. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

However,

There's no accurate way to filter or check if anyone is 18+, so why not make it so you need a specific role to view the channel in itself and if the person wants access then they can ask for the role to filter out the people who don't want to associate with the channel and get to mostly satisfy both sides of the spectrum. @virr

i vote keep it

in every discord server ive been in

having a channel dedicated to anything

any dumb shit ppl want to post

offensive/porn/whatever

makes the quality of every other channel

much better

makes jobs of the staff much easier as well

 

"nsfw" essentially acts as a containment channel, where people are free to do whatever the fuck they want as long as its legal and not harassing others. its necessary, serves a purpose that isnt just for jerking off, and probably helps create some sort of community bond somewhere (looking at all the freaks that spam trap stuff/even legitimate porn)

 

if you dont want to look at it, mute it. if we do add functionality where ranks can only view (I don't see the reason to do so personally), it should be automated somehow (bots r Kool). i know nobody wants to deal with asking other people if they can essentially view the "porn channel", and i know no staff are gonna wanna deal with that either lmfao

 

thanks have a nice day

 

edit: as for "people can lie about their age" or whatever similar dumb argument, xG isnt the internet police; we arent responsible for preventing kids that are already going to look at porn to look at porn rofl

Please remove it. I personally have nothing against it (other than when I first found it it was called septic5 and i then found out what that is), but to have nudity and 18+ content banned on the servers, it seems silly to have it be suddenly ok for a discord, which is more accessable. It just seems unwelcoming too. When you go into the discord, the first thing you do is scroll through the channels and see what is there and you see NSFW at the bottom. Also it doesn't seem appropriate for a younger member to go on, not know what nsfw means, and look at it, show the parents, you get what I mean.

 

Point being is that it seems inappropriate to have NSFW content on our discord and having that same content banned on the servers.

Once again I will explain that the same content is banned on gaming servers because we cannot filter it in any way. The exact same "filtering" is used for any actual NSFW site.

^This. Removing the NSFW channel will just leak out the content of said channel. Enjoy regulating that the grey areas!

 

MUTE ZIE CHANNEL if you don't like what's being posted.

Also NSFW content is banned on our servers because it's against the server's TOS, and was never really something I was against when the community was started. Since Discord is not on our own host, I don't have a problem with having a single channel dedicated to the shitposting. And if it's the ONE place it's allowed, then why not have it on Discord?

Unwelcoming? Almost all community based and big discord servers have some sort of NSFW channel. Considering it "unwelcoming" is more so a personal preference.
