Add another filtered tag besides #nsfw to mark explicit/graphic content

What about not adding another tag for posts (which I find confusing) but adding tagging of pictures as "graphic". So when you upload, a checkbox comes under the photo and you can click it as graphic. Then it will by default be replaced a same size box with "graphic" on black background hiding the picture until clicked. This way the actual post text will be visible but pictures in it can be hidden.

This would be even nicer because users would be able to read the text to know what the posting is about and then can decide if they want to see the graphic content that was added. Just be aware it might be a video too not only pictures.

I -now speaking for those who discussed the subject again- could live with any solution that separates porn/sexual/images from other graphic content. I do not want to confront people who easily feel offended maybe due to their personal experience. The reason why I added the picture: I thought it will be more clear what is "Abu Ghraib" and what victims I am talking about.

We'd be very happy if there is a way to include the requested feature. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do!

What about changing the way NSFW works by allowing two kinds of behaviour - "hide whole post" and "hide pictures, show text". Then in user settings we would have a selection where user could use which one to use for rendering NSFW posts and a third option to always just show the post without hiding.

This way posting is simple (= it's always NSFW) and the users can choose how to show things. We could set by default to show "text, hide images" - or keep default as it is now.

To be honest -though being on diaspora for more than a year now I have no clue how to make a NSFW-posting :)
This is why I would prefer to have a checkbox right next to the textfield when composing a posting for easier usability.

Maybe we should re-think about the term NSFW. NSFW is not that common as for US or GB citizens I think and I had to learn what it means. Therefor I like the Xophael's idea to have an explanation on mouseover too.

Well to make a NSFW post you just write '#nsfw' in the post body ;)

I agree, checkbox plus mouseover would be better. We can still have the checkbox append #nsfw to the post to stay as we are in the backend.

If someone would like to write/draw all this up in to a brand new design that would be cool - then we could vote..

What about a NSFW check box instead of an automatically hidden tag.

I would like to be able to use the #NSFW hashtag in a post (for example, pod posting statistics) without it collapsing the post.

Having a checkbox next to the "Post" button would be ideal.

@starblessed

Sorry but I do not understand what exactly you mean. If a post doesn't get hidden when using #NSFW -Tag why use it at all?

And a question @ all

What is going to be the next step here. we need to vote on a second tag or someone is still busy doing a new design? I do not see why we would need a new design for this as I would prefer the fastest and most simple implementation possible.

I still like @rekado's idea

Why not offer a customisable tag filter list that is preset to #nsfw. Any other tag in that list would result in matching posts to receive the current “nsfw-treatment”.

Perhaps someone who wants another tag to run alongside #nsfw could propose a specific tag and how they would see it working, and then we could discuss/vote on it.

Personally I don't see the need for another tag alongside #nsfw, because #nsfw is there to cover any content which might not be good to view in the office (and therefore anything potentially sensitive or offensive), which includes graphic content.

@adrenalin - Hashtags are meant to be used for searching for relevant content , not censoring content. Not only that, but everyone has a different idea as to what graphic or sexual content is.

For example, picture's of the Holocaust may be offensive to some people, but be taken in stride by others.

It would still be possible to use the #NSFW tag, without collapsing the post. But having something like a checkbox next to the "Post" button would allow you to post the image with any tag, and still collapse the post.

The other thing I noticed that causes problems, is accounts with the NSFW flag set.

If you have a NSFW account, and post a NSFW image without the #NSFW tag that I reshare, it currently is not collapsed by default.

This needs to be fixed as well.

What is going to be the next step here???

Ready to decide? If not what are we waiting for (sorry, still have to ask what is the next step as I am still new here on loomio.
