NSFW Rating System

It seems like people have a hair trigger when it comes to labeling their links “NSFW“. I’ve even seen warnings about NSFW language which seems like overdoing it a bit to me. Anyway, since using the label “NSFW” to refer to anything from cuss words in plain text to “Harry Potter / Tentacle Rape Slash Porn” seems pretty unhelpful, I’ve devised this easy to understand rating system.

Please rate your links accordingly from now on, so I can filter out the seriously freaky shit from some of the kindergarden stuff that seems to be NSF your W.

    This is not a bad idea. I guess you mean one should use it like this: “NSFWXX” or “NSFWKS”. The worst one could be shortened to “NSFWTF”?

    I have to admit I didn’t really give the ratings that much thought. I guess practically the best way to do it would be NSFW(1) to NSFW(6) indicating the level of not-safety?

    The “K?”, “KS”, “X” etc labels were really just derived from the idea that “This isn’t even unsafe enough to warrant a proper X” hence KS.

    Although this post was made mostly for laughs, I do feel a rating system would be useful. It’s amazing what people will slam a NSFW warning on.
