This subverse now has a new rule: No untagged NSFW content
This includes depictions of nudity, violence, and gore. Any untagged posts will be tagged by the moderators and flaired as appropriate, and for both posts and comments a formal warning will be issued to the user. Three warnings in a seven day period will result in a permanent ban from the subverse. Any bans related to this rule will contain a link to the comment detailing the violations in the ban reason, visible in the log of banned users. Enforcement of this rule will begin tomorrow, 2018-12-08.
Example warning:
This [post|comment] violates the rule "No untagged NSFW content". In the future, please [tag your post via the "toggle nsfw" option|designate your comment as NSFW by having a description of the content or "NSFW" somewhere in the comment]. Note that three violations of this rule within a period of seven days will result in a permanent ban.
Your previous violations of this rule:
If you see any untagged NSFW posts or comments, please report and select the new rule or ping the mods.
Thank you to everyone who weighed in on the previous discussion about implementing rules. I believe this is the best course of action to maintain the subverse's integrity while still upholding voat's core principles of freedom and transparency. Please feel free to discuss, and let me know if you have any concerns or possible changes you'd like to see.

Please don't forget to report actual child porn to the admins, and to pull it immediately, please. (According to Voat rules - illegal content according to US law.)
Thanks!

Note: all nudity is not legally porn.

Safe for work is what the grownups are talking about, champ.

That's funny, I'm an adult and I was talking about a different topic. So I guess your generalization doesn't hold.

Personally this is why I want to see more porn and violence on Voat even though I acknowledge not many other users do. Why? Because porn and violence are one of the only true functional canaries. If porn and violence are allowed, then most likely other speech too is permitted on the platform. If disallowed (like in the case of facebook and it's dozens of subsidiaries like instagram, tumbler, et al), then most likely dissenting political speech is also disallowed. It is an odd paring political speech and porn/violence, but such is the way of things and how lowly political speech is treated.
