What is your definition of NSFW?

[kevan]

My definition is Xuphor's pic of that pig in the EoF.
I mean of course that was safe for work

 

[JoostinOnline]

NSFW = Me.

 

[xshinox]

as long as the picture(s) you're looking at or what you're reading doesn't involve nudity, violence, or anything bad, it's safe for work. you shouldn't be browsing NSFW stuff at work.

See, that's the problem. If people start posting NSFW stuff here, then others won't be able to browse GBAtemp while at work.
Which is part of why we try to keep it to a minimum, and tag most anything that is NSFW.

NSFW is.... Not Safe for Work.

It's anything (ANYTHING) that can get you into trouble at work for viewing, that is ALL that it means.
That picture does NOT offend me, but it DOES qualify as NSFW. If I looked up that picture while at work and a boss came in and saw it, I'd be in big trouble.

Seriously, how is that confusing at all? If what you are viewing can get you into ANY trouble at work, it's NSFW or "Not Safe For Work".
This also means NSFW =/= what you find offensive, they are very different topics.

Because not all bosses and work sites are the same. Read next time? :/

The term is used on websites for the strictest bosses that exist, because people do have them. It's a precautionary thing, to make sure that absolutely no one will get in trouble for viewing something marked NSFW.

I assume THAT isn't the case. If I had a strict boss i'm pretty damn sure doing anything but work would piss them off.
If not the internet doesn't exist to cater to people slacking at work anyways. You go on the internet, you accept the risk.

I never said I agree with that, I think it's a idiotic rule personally (hence why I always have edgy avatars/signatures), I'm just saying HOW. IT. IS.

 

[Skelletonike]

Well, I guess my sig was also removed even tho when I asked if it was ok to have put that sig on this forum and was told it was ok (it was around last year), guess the rules changed.

 

[TheDarkSeed]

I don't think it offended anyone. It's probably because your boss man/lady thinks that the company might be looked at differently if people saw you with that that sig and saw that you worked for the company... :/

 

[ShadowNeko003]

I would say NSFW = anything over PG 13. Keep work professional

 

[FireGrey]

That picture...is just great...
But yeah I would say NSFW

 

[Nimbus]

NSFW is a variable term in my honest oppinion.

However, generally most of 4chans boards are NSFW. Even /vp/ and /v/, hell any of the safe one's are even NSFW at times.

I reported your sig. I didn't report it because I found it personally offensive. I reported it because it involved nudity/see-through-panties. I've reported many sigs/avatars that involve questionable images just as everyone else should be doing (that is why there is a "report" button). People here think they need to push every rule to the limit... This is supposed to be a "friendly" community. It is supposed to be "SFW". Saying, "Well kids can see worse things in other places!" isn't a valid argument here. This isn't about other places, it is about THIS place. It's sad when it gets to the point that you have to block everyone's sigs/avatars when visiting a forum...

I'd have posted much sooner in this topic but seeing the title "What is your definition of NSFW" led me to believe it was either a troll thread or that tagzard started it...

 

[s4mid4re]

It can vary per person. He found it disturbing and NSFW. You didn't. You have to deal with it.

To be blunt here, you're not even supposed to be searching for stuff like that while working anyways. I don't even get why there's an acronym "Not Safe For Work" when it's more accurate as "Not For Work." If you're on a porn site, it's both NSFW and NFW. But if you're viewing images of hot actresses with their hot panties, then that's NFW. People may argue it as SFW, but they really can't argue whether it's NFW or FW. It's NFW; you're not supposed to be viewing those kinds of stuff while working (unless your job has something to do with it ).

I have not idea what you just said there with all the NFW SFW NSFW FW NW SW stuff but just to clarify:

This public forum is intended for users of all ages

You were staring at her panties for way too long if you found some see-through effect to 'em.
I just stared at her ass and still see nothing NSFW about it, really.

A nuclear explosion.

Everyone has their own opinion whether they think it's "NSFW". I would consider something overly gory, or something a little bit over partial nudity. What I find ironic is, it's OK for someone to go to the beach, and find chicks with bikinis on, than to maybe see one on a magazine or an image.

 

[Infinite Zero]

Something sexually enticing visually that may seem questionable when seen by your boss?
Lol
