Content Warnings Matter

[GigaLem]

So while there isn't too many instants of this, I feel it should be necessary lest anyone get in trouble here or on youtube.
People can get reported or investigated for something that isn't their fault.

While I do have a different life outside this forum, I know when there is a time and place for everything but because the lemmings Forum is a Publicly Accessible Website may I remind you there will be those roaming this place that aren't adults yet, heck some of us here may have signed up when we were teenagers.

I feel if level pack has something that's on the explicit side and if its too much for the forum I feel it shouldn't be allowed, I feel a content warning should be stated first and foremost.
If anyone knows what im talking about, im talking about imagery involving certain body parts, possibly controversial topics that might feel tactless if mishandled.

It's one thing to swear, but its another to have this place get littered with stuff that could put forum member's channels at risk of termination.

Am I being hyperbolic here or kicking the hornets nest? Possibly, but even people do have good intentions. Either tone down certain things when making your levels, or give warnings for your level pack. I know one shouldn't assume the worst out of people but there is a time and place for everything. Some things are best posted elsewhere.

Keep in mind; I don't know what level / pack you're talking about here, so I don't know exactly what the situation is and thus can only speak generally (and certianly can't add such a warning to the relevant topic and/or give the creator a heads-up).

I think this is a fair request as long as it's not taken too far. Expecting a content warning for realistic depictions of genitals or gore is absolutely reasonable. Expecting a content warning for terrain layouts that clearly intentionally resemble those things, yeah, that's probably fair to have a warning too. Content warnings for terrain layouts that vaguely resemble genitals, or for cartoonish gore like some of the traps in the official styles... I think that's the point at which I'm going to say the request is a bit excessive.

Understand im not asking for anything too strict, but you at least get my point. The reason I talk about this is out of the kindness of my heart, and for the safety of others.

I have added this to the rules for the NL level packs board. Please let staff know if any packs are missing warnings when they should have them.

(Note that our response will likely just be to add a content warning and give the user in question a friendly reminder about the rules, unless someone repeatedly offends or goes out of their way to remove warnings that have been added by staff.)
