I’ve been getting complaints about footage that is technically non-violent but leaves enough to the imagination that it apparently bothers people, so I wanted to get input regarding where the NSFW line should be drawn.

The video posted here is a perfect example of where I think the limit is. The only complaint I can see is the discharge of a firearm. Does that count? Is ‘being able to put 2 and 2 together to know what happened’ enough to warrant flagging as NSFW? Was the previous status quo good enough?

Setting aside the obvious “I know it when I see it”, please share your thoughts.

Until a better consensus of where the line should be for the community I will leave it temporarily flagged as NSFW.

    I’m being objective. It is an assumption either way as there is no concrete evidence visible in the video. Do you think every drone cam that cuts to static should be flagged as NSFW?

      All combat footage should probably be flagged nsfw, honestly.

      Since nsfw flagging is just a tool and doesn’t mean “boobies” it’s likely the best method. Otherwise folks who don’t want to see combat footage only have the option of unsubscribing or blocking the community from preventing autoplay of videos on some clients.

        I think that is too aggressive. There is all kinds of footage that is clearly safe (eg: drone on drone).

        I’m thinking a rule requiring NSFW for combat footage where bodies (living or otherwise) are visible.

          You’re introducing a subjective measure of what is ok by interpreting the line.

          Just make the line combat footage. Then you don’t have to police it or make judgement calls.

          I personally don’t need anything flagged, I’m fine with the content as is but I’m trying to take an objective stance here with the input from others. Take the subjective decisions out of it and make it an easy line for all to follow.
