I am not entirely sure what the purpose of the NSFW tag is.

When I am here at work and browsing Fluther (yes, I know – I should be working), I am going through my company’s network. Most companies have the ability to troll for certain words when traffic comes through in order to determine if someone is violating internet policy or if there is something to be concerned about. My understanding is that certain NSFW terms could flag a problem.

So, for example, when I go browse the social questions right now, there is a question that reads:
”(big time NSFW) I have always wonder this, can a woman tell how big her penis would be (if she were male) by the size of her clit?”

Fascinating and all, but I’m pretty sure that adding the NSFW tag does nothing to protect me from clicking on the link to the question. The question itself is NSFW.

Is there a better way we can treat NSFW questions here on fluther? The best option I can think of would be….

Require that the question be phrased as “I have an anatomy question (NSFW)”. Then, the details of the question can go into all kinds of fun stuff.

Note: I could be the only one concerned about this. Plus, I probably shouldn’t be looking at fluther during work anyway.
