NSFW changes to the subreddit

Okay, so, I never thought I’d have to do this but here we are.

New rule:

9. **NSFW content** must be approved by moderators prior to posting. Failure to do so will result in a ban. Any NSFW content must be clearly marked as such. NSFW content must be relevant to an academic discussion or directly relevant to a topic for learning.

I’ve updated the subreddit rules on the wiki and added a line to sidebar rule 7.

If you want to talk about something NSFW in a proper, educational format, then we will have no problem. Like, here’s a list of some words you might not be exposed to normally in your studies.

But if you talk for paragraphs about how you’re edging yourself for 7-8 hours while you try your best to not climax while reading hentai and that got you to pass N1, then we’re going to carpet bomb that thread with bans.

Also, the mod team is discussing whether to make a public section of all restricted or banned content so you know what we’ll remove.

Thoughts?

  1. ngl that was one of the most entertaining posts I have ever read on this sub. IMO was actually really cool to see how one can learn from that unique content. I actually have a decent amount of respect for what they did.

    Personally I really liked that post. Most of the posts here are pretty dumb. Its a shame it got the ban hammer, but eh, I aint a mod ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  2. The post in question was interesting, but got really went deep for no reason. I agree that if there is an academic question of ‘what words should I learn to read xxx’ novel or grammar relevant to that area then is should be allowed just marked as such. I really don’t need to read someone’s personal experiences using the content though.

  3. He had better advice than most of what I see on here. It’s a shame that an insecure mod takes it down because it interfered with their own personal moral values.

  4. Damn I didnt read the post but they really talked about edging while playing VNs huh? Thats hilarious

  5. Good.

    Literally every nook and cranny of the internet is filled with NSFW crap. Tired of seeing it in my face all the time when I’m just trying to learn something or improve myself. It’s even more awkward when you’re an adult and you realize it’s a teenager talking about it. People are so cripplingly obsessed with NSFW content and unable to control their urges. It’s an addiction. So much degenerate brain rot everywhere you look on the internet.

    Yes, NSFW content exists in Japanese. It’s a language, it’s made to describe things. NSFW content being one of them. No, it does not *have* to be here unchecked. The comprise is requiring it to be approved. I think it’s fair.

    Thanks mods.

    It was a good post. They had fun and got a point across. I see no problems with it, and would rather not mods have a rule they can use to remove any NSFW post they don’t like, or personally consider ‘too much’ or whatever.

    It’d be different if people were just posting pornography, but they’re not. I see no reason for this as of now.
