Information About

Nsfw




Determining a site to be NSFW can be Subjective in some cases. The less frequently used warning PNSFW (Probably/Possibly Not Safe For Work) is sometimes used to indicate content that may be considered salacious by particularly strict censors, such as images of Underwear models or a news story about sexual issues that does not contain explicit images. NSFW is also sometimes used to refer to any media that produces sound, such as a game or video file, the implication being that the noises may alert others in the vicintity that the user is viewing entertainment materials instead of working.

The tag SFW (Safe for Work), '''worksafe''', and '''schoolsafe''' is used to mean the opposite of NSFW; it denotes material which is generally not objectionable. This is of particular use when the context or name of the link would make people wary of following it.

The tag NSFA (Not Safe For Anyone) is sometimes used to mark materials that are likely to be extremely disturbing or offensive. NSFA content is not necessarily sexual in nature--for example, graphic images of extreme bodily injury.
