/a/ is a work-safe board. Do not post uncensored nipples, genitals, or other 'not work safe' images or webms here. Do not use the spoiler function to hide 'not work safe' images or webms. On a case-by-case basis at a mod's discretion, we may allow non-pornographic images from actual anime/manga series which contain nipple slips if it is necessary to the discussion at hand. Do not interpret this to mean that gratuitous bare breasts are allowed.
If you want to post uncensored nipples, genitals, or other 'not work safe' images or webms, you should use one of the appropriate porn boards:
/h/ - Hentai for straight hardcore.
/e/ - Ecchi for softcore images of women
/d/ - Hentai/Alternative for tentacles, bondage, futanari, and other associated fetishes.
/u/ - Yuri for lesbian content.
/y/ - Yaoi for male-only and gay content.
These boards are NOT just for image posting. You can use them for discussion just like any other board.
If you want to ask for anime recommendations, you must use /r/ - Requests. Recommendation threads posted on /a/ will be deleted.

Dear Hiroyuki,
We are NOT trying to make /a/ safe to browse at work.
We are trying to reduce OFF-TOPIC content by banning pornography dumps.
"Work-safe" is a GUIDELINE for determining what is off-topic. We are proposing that you change the GUIDELINE.
If an image is from an anime that is not rated "Rx", it is ON-TOPIC and should be allowed. Nipples do NOT make an image off-topic.
Your suggestion in >>132402760 → is GOOD.

Why don't the mods understand the purpose of the "no NSFW" rule?
Pornographic content is banned on blue boards because it can detract from discussion.
However, sometimes, NSFW content is relevant to discussion. In these cases, it should be allowed.
Rule 5 does not exist to create boards that people can literally browse at work. It exists to create boards where people can talk about the board topic without being derailed by porn dumps.
Allowing only on-topic NSFW material will allow people to post images containing nudity when they are relevant, and disallow people from dumping pornographic images that contribute nothing.

>>132416504
>clarify
>instead of making drastic changes
This is pointless. The 4chan way of "don't fuck up or get rekt" encourages lurking before posting; the only reason why I'd agree to a sticky is exactly to introduce changes.
On that note, rec threads are far bigger an issue than nsfw.
>>132416442
This would solve so many problems.
>>132416504
But you're making drastic changes.
Rules are not supposed to be followed without board culture into consideration.
>>132416504
So let's see if I understand the sticky correctly. You are presenting /a/'s CURRENT rules in the OP. You want us to give you suggestions on how to change that?
Is that right?
Seems like someone will stop being a mod soon.

>You can't discuss a series like TLR unless I feel like you can
Are you serious right now?
Are you the mod has been on a powertrip lately with some personal idea what should and shouldn't be allowed here despite the established convention?
I don't know why you want to force people to those other boards just for single shows when we didn't have any problem with how things have been. Really, this contradicts what Hiro said as well, are you just trying to get your own preferences to be the rule by being the first one to make an "official" sticky?
Just fucking allow it if the material is from an official source, the anime is not rated adult and there is no genitals. That's how it has always been and that's how it should be, people are just using the spoilers for courtesy in these cases anyway, not because they are "hiding" it.
Alternatively give us a spoiler tag for lewd while still banning pure imagedumps, but don't try to force your opinions as rules when the fucking ADMIN disagrees with you.
>>132416116
>No OP image
Jesus fucking christ. Your newfaggotry is showing. This is an image board, not reddit.
Thank you mods, for directing yurifags back to /u/.
Come at me
Who is insane enough to browse /a/ while working tho
>Do not post uncensored nipples, genitals, or other 'not work safe' images or webms here.
So basically we just spent the last hours trying to get our point across to Hiro that ALL WE FUCKING WANT is being able to post nipples, ass and other non-sex stuff without being banned, Hiro agreed to something along those lines and now the fucking assblasted full-on retards of mods are pulling this shit out of their asses?

What the fuck? Somebody fill me in.
If the topic at hand is still being discussed, I'd say explicit sex and doujin dumps shouldn't be allowed, but shit like Valkyrie Drive (which is probably the spark that began this shitstorm) and other shit like Manyuu Hikenchou are fine since they're nonpornographic ecchi anime that just show tits. But what do I know, seems like everyone's just flinging shit right now so I have no idea whose decided what.

They aren't the current fucking rules, this mod isn't even listening to what hiro said. He is just powertripping.
I for one approve our new Japanese overlords.
"Work safe" on 4chan is like an oxymoron. If you're browsing this site at work you either have a cool employer who gives no fucks, or you want to get fired.
No porn dump threads, no nudity in OP images is a good enough rule I think.
