Suggestion: Better NSFW Handling?

[Petie]

Moving this to its own thread for the sake of keeping organized. I'd definitely like to hear feedback from other staff (and members as well). I don't think hiding NSFW content from the home page would be a bad idea and I do think a cookie would be the best way to go about doing this so non-members still have the option to disable it (though that obviously complicates things a little for shared computers). I don't like the idea of every new session requiring clicking through a warning - I think that's over the top - but perhaps the cookie can expire after a week instead of a year, for instance.

I also actually like Kosheh's idea to just blanket hide the thumbnails and leave the rest of our system for NSFW content in place. That would be plenty easy to implement and I guess can also be toggled with a cookie for non-members. So I'll end this with a set of questions then:

1. Do you think we need better handling of NSFW content or is the current system enough?
2. If you do think we need better handling of NSFW content, should we hide just the thumbnails or the content as a whole?
3. Should disabling this filter require an account or should it be available to all visitors?
4. Should visitors under 18 be able to disable this filter themselves? (this feature implies that the toggle is account-based)
5. Regardless of the above, should we hide NSFW content from the main page update?

If anyone has anything to add, please do so.
