For example, if you told me "don't post anything potentially offensive in the workplace", I would take that to include profanity of any kind. Using profanity in the workplace is "not safe" for most people. I use that example, because in the new safe-for-work thread, the moderator that put the smack down on the previous NSFW content posted "good job guys" directly under a picture that contained the word "shit".

So when one says NSFW, that's why I say it's ambiguous. What a person views as NSFW is not the same as what everyone feels is NSFW.

I'm not saying that the NSFW thread didn't test, and sometimes surpass the line of what I would think is acceptable, but even then it a test of what I would think is an "err on the side of caution" line.

Anywho...

I do not define "ambiguous" as a double meaning here. I mean it as a cause for confusion. I just don't believe that it is so hard to figure out what is and what is not OK to post on this website. We do not have this problem in any other forum on C5 but this one. Why?
