  - Available in Settings for users of age 18 or higher.
  - Can be turned off (off by default).
  - Checkbox on avatar & signature pages.
  + [Optional] Restrict usage based on User Account Lv.
  + [Optional] Possibly off-site only if it's enabled when setting an av/sig so it's not stored on the server.
  
  Profile setting (example):

  Every site that allows this has failed to keep the 18+ content and non-objectionable content apart properly.
  
  Hongfire, doujinstyle, 4chan, etc. But then I guess we already have Rua's House.

  Well, I already have to look at your Pervert of the Year Badge, so I don't see why implementing this is a problem.

  Not while we're "mabi"nation.
  Later on I wouldn't be opposed to age restricted stuff.

  If I wanted to have a boner off someone's signature or avatar, I would be browsing Hongfire.

  Or you could just keep the nudity in your avatar and signature to a minimum, since no one else has an ass for their signature.

  I honestly don't think it's necessary to have NSFW images... What is your objective for this? =<

  I wouldn't mind it in the future, but I agree with what Osay said.

  I also agree with this.

  "Every site" eh?
  
  AnimeBytes does it perfectly. They're bigger than we are too.

  It would be a setting.
  
  If you want to see NSFW avs/sigs then you can. If you don't want to, all you have to do is leave it unchecked and you'll never see them.
  
  All it really does is give an option to have NSFW avs/sigs and does so in a way that they can easily be hidden by members that don't want to see them.
  
  Even ecchi could be grouped into it, so it makes it much safer for people browsing from work, school, or some other location they couldn't have that type of material on their screen.
  
  In other words, it just gives the option. Nothing more. It doesn't hurt anyone that doesn't want to see them, so I don't see why not.

  I don't see a problem with it personally, but unfortunately this still is a forum where the chance of kids coming and going is significant enough to want to keep things more PG13 than 18+. Some people like to ignore toggling settings for some reason, and would probably complain about it or forget to check it themselves.
  
  Not that I agree with the approach of most of the other [S][SIZE="1"]prudes[/SIZE][/S] posters, though.

  I like this idea

  must you always include something rude about someone who has a different opinion than yours ಠ_ಠ

  I just tell it like I see it.

  That's why I mentioned it would only be available to those with ages set to 18+ in their profiles. If they lied then well, there's not much we can do about that.
• Cynic wrote on 2012-01-29 23:47
  That would help a lot, yerp. But for some reason a lot of people would still complain.
  
  (as evidenced by some above posts..)

  My thoughts are that it could work, but the better question is if it's necessary. This is mostly just reiterating what others have said, but I still feel like saying it.
  
  This site is something different for most people. While for you it may just be a discussion forum, for others this site is purely a Mabinogi or Vindictus forum. Of course there's everything in between here, but the problem is that avatar and signature regulations are universal. Sure this might be completely appropriate if Bean Rua and Rua's House were the main forums of the site, but Nation has always been a Mabinogi fansite.
  
  And this would probably change one of the global guidelines that have been around for a long time.
  
  

  •Do not post Porn or Hentai
  - Also restricted from being in your avatar or signature.

  
  
  Since this is a global guideline, writing some 'exception' just makes me think everything is going to get really messy really quickly. It's so much work if you want to go somewhere between "PG13" and "18+". More work then I think is necessary. I've honestly noticed the line already getting really blurry, with some talk that looks like it belongs in Rua's House popping up in Bean Rua. Of course this is mostly opinion of what's PG13 and 18+, which is also problematic.
  
  I pretty much fully agree with Osay and Morrigan (though I wouldn't want to see Nation change too much).
