Global NSFW 18+ switch

New Feature Addition · World management · Created by Tonarus

NSFW SFW World-Management Feature

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

A global NSFW 18+ switch to add content warnings to categories, maps, timelines, events and all articles to ensure one doesn't require to manually switch it on for every written article.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

Will save a lot of NSFW artists from heart attacks when they're nervous about publishing an article and forget to tick the NSFW square button. Events and timelines that are shaped by happenings that are not for the weak of heart, also makes it ideal to have such a switch. (Think the ‎Atlantic triangular slave trade from history.) Even maps, especially realms inspired by the second hell could require such an NSFW switch.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

It would ease worldbuilding for those that write NSFW content by having an easy on-off switch for everything in their world, where an article could instead be untagged from 18+ if it's safe, than require the user to tag each single writing piece.   It'd likely be better for those who wish to or should stay away from such content as well if the entire world is blocked away by this switch, rather than have the NSFW 18+ tag linger somewhere in the corner.

Follow up


This would be an active CHOICE to switch on and off, to ensure other writers who wont have use for this ain't punished. Basically it'd change nothing for people who don't intend to use it.

    I would appreciate this. New worlds should be sfw by default, but in the settings, add a button that sets it to nsfw for the entire world, so the articles and everything else are set to nsfw by default. Yes, that would be awesome.   And especially if it is a world setting, I would love to be able to give further information. Some people might not mind erotica but would not want to read contents in a dark and bloody setting (or the other way around) So a textbox or something to add the type of nsfw content, would be great.

    So instead of putting the work load on the writers with NSFW content, the workload then falls on the writers without NSFW content to remember to make their worlds accessible. I guess I don't get it. Why is the normal writer being punished? I can't support it, but at this degree of success It's probably going to happen anyway. I already have enough things preventing my world from being seen, not the least of which is it's lack of completion. being blocked behind a NSFW rating I didn't remember to turn off is not one of them.

    Having the ability to further label NSFW content so people could be notified of what kind is may be before access would be wonderful as well!

    This would be fantastic. I was literally looking for this feature today when I started uploading content. Most sites have a flag the drops down asking if they are 18 or older. Flagging everything would help.

    As a writer of more adult content, I would very much like this. I'd like to keep my content in the hands of those who are safe engaging with it.

    I'd love to see this because my genre is basically erotica that got way out of scope, and some people may not want to interact with a straightforward worldbuilding article if it's part of an adult game. My work here is still private, but from previous experience it's hard to do up front disclosure without also frequently bringing up the fact that I'm doing Adult Stuff For Adults, which is probably way more information than most people want in channels where it's not relevant.
