Apologize if this has been addressed and I missed it, but is #5 still enforced? Seems a good amount of NSFW content goes entirely unmoderated. (Not stating that this is good or bad, just asking)
It is if I see it. Where are you finding this NSFW content at? This is a rather poignant example. (Direct NSFW) Also things such as this, this, and this. (Indirect NSFW/Advertising NSFW Projects)

I personally didn't care about the first one since it said NSFW in the topic title.
As for the others, I don't see anything wrong with those.

I'm not asking for moderation, I'm asking for policy clarification.

Yes it is still enforced, but those last three wouldn't fall under that rule. That rule is primarily meant for hotlinking NSFW images. Text wouldn't generally be considered NSFW.

Alright, thanks for the clarification, that answers my question.

I removed the embedded image after someone reported it -- maybe you. Embedded NSFW images are definitely not allowed. NSFW links are OK if they are clearly marked as such.

hagnah! Lets moderator-delete all those zero-value posts of +1/like/watching/sub that only serve to overcome the short-comings of the forum software rather than to fix them.

"Subbing" threads is the only way to add it to the watchlist and be notified of new replies. This one. Notify is useless as it just sends you emails. Just people making the best they can of shortcomings in the forum.

Hi! I wonder is there any moderation rule about moving stuff out of "Bitcoin Discussion"? I know it is very tempting to use it and not care about the sub forums and I think new projects deserve the publicity and come here but I wonder if it would make sense to aggressively try to move threads out of there when they are a week or two old? I'm referring to project specific stuff like:
[ANNOUNCE] TORwallet - anonymous mixing wallet service (12-06-13) [Payout Updates] Bitcoinica site is taken offline for security investigation (12-05-28) BITCOIN MAGAZINE ARRIVED! (12-05-24) and many more that get bumped up for weeks and months and that I'm just tired of seeing as following them got far too off track, repetitive or plain pointless.

It's not a bad idea at the core, I wouldn't have a problem enforcing it, I just don't think it's a big enough problem to solve. I did something similar for existing services/businesses that liked to post announcements, leave them for a few days then move.
I'm pretty happy with Bitcoin Discussion in general, and most others are I think. There's a few threads that are annoying but overall it works out well. If announcements are constantly being brought back to the first page it just means people are interested in it, or it generates lots of discussion, which isn't a bad thing. If the replies are taking the thread off track, that's a separate issue and isn't solved by just moving the thread, and a thread shouldn't be moved just because of the replies.
The Bitcoinica thread, I leave because it's fairly big news, and relevant to a large percentage of readers. For stuff like that I'll usually leave one main thread, and move the rest to the proper forum.

1. Free speech 5. No NSFW content
Please read 5, then read 1, then read 5, then read 1 and tell me if you see a problem. Can I say "fat cock" if I present it in a calm and polite manner? Think of it like this, you have freedom of speech in the presence of your mother, but would you choose your words more carefully? Not all moms were created equal. In this era there is a growing number of parents whom strongly in free-thinking and such. Some cultures it's shameful to show one's hair or face, etc... Sorry, I live with an anthropological scholar whom, among other things has formally studied some of the finer points of taboo and sexuality (across national boarders even) "no porn / nothing NSFW" is a fine restriction to free speech. Can be likened to restrictions on hate speech, etc. Edited to add:A step in a wrong direction. Now moderators will decide which posts have "low value", which posts are "uninteresting" or "pointless". In practice moderators will delete everything they don't like. The words "free speech" above are thus an obvious lie.
That, however, is a fear I share. Subjective things which are not perceived universally by all individuals. Final edit /// So uh... I've caught up on this whole thread now:where does current policy stand anyway? Main thing I ever see enforced is a loose concept of "scammer" with tags being applied to various users for various reasons which don't seem to be well documented in a conspicuous way / nowhere I've seen in forums explains the exact definition of scammer (comprehensively or otherwise)

I'm glad you don't see moderation. I hate it when moderation is intrusive on forums.

Is there a thing anywhere (navigation link, sticky or otherwise) which explains the moderation and/or scammer guidelines?

There are scattered topics about that. Everything's not in one place.

There are scattered topics about that. Everything's not in one place. I didn't see any stickies in the "meta" section. that would make sense. Would you or anyone else be willing to aggregate the policies and sticky them in there?
