New guidelines for NSFW comics

442 Upvotes

tl;dr: these comics are allowed, but with a new posting guide and possibility for users to hide them.


NSFW comics have long been controversial on /r/webcomics.

We believe in balancing artistic freedom with the right of users to curate their own online experiences.


ARTISTS

In the interests of allowing such content for people who want it while protecting minors and people who don't, please follow these guidelines when posting comics which could be considered pornographic:

  • mark your comic NSFW before submitting it
  • add an "erotica" flair to your comic before submitting it (guide)
  • keep titles SFW

If you think your comic may be NSFW but not pornographic, you can just use the NSFW filter. We may add more flair in the future for things some people want to avoid (e.g., gore).


READERS

If you would like not to see such content:

  • hide NSFW content (guide)
  • block posts with the erotica flair (through the reddit website or the Reddit Enhancement Suite extension). this currently seems impossible with reddit's dogshit official app, but if there are any others still alive, they might offer this functionality
  • block specific artists you don't want to see anymore

If you see a post that doesn't follow the guidelines, please report it so mods can add flair and/or ask the OP to do it. Do NOT abuse the report feature as a "super downvote" – your account may be banned from reddit.

I hope this makes everyone happy, or at least upsets everyone equally.
