# What absolute fucking nonsense.
There is no way that anyone above you in your chain of dreary employment could misconstrue that as material of a pornographic nature. And that is all that b3ta requires of it's users regarding the nsfw rule. It may be different on other sites you visit but the clue's in the sentence.

What does NSFW mean?

This means 'Not Safe for Work' or in other words it's porn. We like to keep b3ta free from any images which are, or could be mistaken as pornographic. Lots of employers take a dim view of people using their work computer to look at porn and in some places it can get you sacked on the spot.

We don't want to censor people, or make a moral judgement about what they should be looking at, we would simply ask that any pictures which could be mistaken for porn are linked with an appropriate warning for those viewing at work. Same goes for any links to sites with porny content (watch those banner ads), please give fair warning about the content.

Please don't be offended if your picture is linked by a moderator for being NSFW, it may well be very tame but we tend to err on the side of caution in these circumstances. It's nothing personal.
I'm not sure if my picture is NSFW or not, how do I tell?

Just ask yourself, "Could this be mistaken for porn?" A suggestive picture of a lady in her underwear is probably NSFW even though there is no nudity, but a badly drawn picture of a spunking cock isn't NSFW (unless there is a fetish site for badly drawn, spunking cocks that nobody told us about).
It's 10pm, surely nobody is at work now

You should always assume that people will be viewing from work, no matter the time. Not only do many people work funny shifts, but B3ta attract viewers from many timezones all over the world.
Surely if somebody is at work, they should be working and not looking at B3ta.

Lots of people are allowed to use their work internet access for personal use during lunchtime and breaks. It doesn't mean they are allowed to look at porn during these times though.
It's not fair, my picture of a woman in a bikini was linked by a mod, but I have seen much worse go uncensored.

B3ta is moderated by volunteers who aren't able to be on the board at all times of the day and night. Also, different mods may consider different things to be NSFW. We are only human and can't promise to be perfectly consistent about the stuff that gets linked and stuff that is left alone. If you get upset about this kind of thing, then you should probably leave the naked lady pictures alone and Photoshop kittens instead.

# well b3ta is wrong

# how?
NSFW on b3ta is not the same as NSFW on other sites nor can it be what you'd prefer it to be.
B3ta does not censor anything because if it censored one thing you'd never be able to stop and we would have no content.

All they do is ask that images that other people might consider pornographic are linked. You can even post porn, as long as you link it ans warn others.

As I said, nsfw on b3ta is not the same as other sites and I doubt it will ever change.

# so your telling me rotten.com is okay to post on b3ta?
try it...
(, Tue 21 Oct 2008, 23:35, archived)
# I would not try it
As I make it a rule to never visit the place. however there is no rule against that kind of thing. hopefully most people are grown up enough to know better. No point arguing with me is there? I didn't make the rules.
