I also fully understand that those who have access don’t need to look, but my view is that it is the absence of what some might find offensive or unpleasant which makes this forum one where we all want to be. I wouldn’t want to see that put at risk. We can each have different views about what influence a thread as being suggested might or might not have, but if I’m correct & it ends up having a negative or destructive influence, the problem is that it is too late by the time it is recognised. I’m no prude, but my preference would be for things to stay as they are. There are any number of other venues online for the ‘NSFW’ stuff.
