On Linking via SV/SB

[Scalehome]

So as we all know SV & SB have a x amount of clicks required to not be able to access NSFW content but there's a neat little way to allow linking to QQ despite this using a specific redirect page. it sends users coming from the sister sites to a different page where, my idea is that they have to check a number of boxes where they acknowledge they're about to enter an NSFW site before they can proceed. This would, rather than rules lawyer or undermine the SV/SB rule for linking, perfectly uphold it. It makes sure no one from SV or SB will accidentally enter an NSFW site, but simultaneously allow links to QQ.

Thoughts?

The only way you can access NSFW content on QQ is if you're already logged in. I'm inclined to think signing up for an account here constitutes as much acknowledgement as you could want that you're going to see NSFW material. But I'm not sure what SB/SV think of that idea.

They don't allow linking since various NSFW content can still be accessed from the "recent posts" on the front page, iirc. I'll see if I can find a quote on it from somewhere if you want.

So here's what SB staff has said in the past:

According to my records, you were infracted because the story you linked was NSFW by SB standards. Sorry if it wasn't clear. It wasn't for the gall of linking to QQ alone. It was b/c of the stuff in the thread itself.

Links to QQ are effectively forbidden, from what I understand, because of two things working together

1) NSFW Rules being more lax than SB
2) The 2 Click rule.

If one of these two changes, we will probably re-evaluate things as a whole.

However, it is Not moderator policy to automatically infract on QQ links.

So to be clear:

Banned: SB -> NSFW
Banned: SB -> SFW -> NSFW
Banned: SB -> SFW -> SFW -> NSFW
Legal:  SB -> SFW -> SFW -> SFW -> NSFW

It cannot. Someone without an account will not see those entries on the Recent Posts widget.

Yeah you're right, I misremembered it. I added a new quote with actual citations from FeliD

To summarise, the problem seems to be that the standard for what is NSFW vs SFW is laxer on QQ than on SB which means that they class it as NSFW even though it's on QQs SFW.

Spoiler: Visual Aid

This is the sort of thing I envision, for the record. Also bumping in case you missed the edit I made to the previous posts.

I'm not opposed to the existence of such a thing, but I'm not sure how it could be easily implemented here. I certainly don't have the time to write it from scratch into the Xenforo code.

I can actually answer this, for SV.

Provided you mark a link as NSFW and the content directly linked to does not violate SV's rules - I advise you read up on Rules 2 & 6, those are the biggest variances - there's no issue with directly linking.

EDIT: In short the functionality OP is asking for is not actually needed for SV, there's no two-click rule and explicit content isn't de facto banned at any rate.

As mentioned, there's actually surprisingly much commonly-considered-NSFW material on QQ that is technically on the open forums, i.e. accessible without an account, because it doesn't actually cross QQ's line of NSFW. At least two Slut Life fanfics come to mind (as does Panacea Quest).

That said, pretty sure Ack's signature on SV links to his Vote Thread (which is technically on QQ) directly, so there's that. Forgot what his SB signature does with it...
