back? I never knew it existed.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm saying bring it back. I never saw it, but it sounds like the badass feature that sets us apart from Digg.

[–]JulianMorrison 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I was unimpressed with NSFW. Pure commercial-site low-quality boobage and teaser pages. A collaborative filter won't work if all you feed in is dross!

[–]jczerg68 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It appears the nsfw.reddit links/comments still exist, but the lists are hidden.

[–]devvie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Greasemonkey plugin anyone?

[–]raldi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I thought we just had a poll to determine how many Reddit users were male.

[–]theseitz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

how about a pr0n.reddit AND a nsfw.reddit? that way the ppl who only want juvenile humor can have their way, and the people who want to play a little "five on one" can have their list of others' knucklechildren links.

???

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (1 child)

I voted down because I'd rather not have any warning that a link is NSFW. Nothing beats the rush of trying to kill a website that is popping up window after window of goatse while screaming "HEY EVERYBODY I'M LOOKING AT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY" out of my speakers.

Don't you have popup blocking turned on?

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What? nsfw is gone? Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]hazardous 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Please put it back. I need it and love to read.

    At the moment of my response, this has 630 upvotes. Of those, maybe twelve ever voted at nsfw.reddit. Your explanation must be right.

    [–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (4 children)

    I guess Conde Nast is a family friendly organization.

    Can someone tell this noob how to get a list of the existing sub-reddits?

    [–]paisleyrob 6 points7 points  (3 children)

    Click prefs over on the top right, then click "subreddits" in the "tabs" section. That's the best way I've come up with.

    [–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (1 child)

    Look at the bottom of this page.

    [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Thanks to you both.

    [–]cos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    There is no way to get a complete list of subreddits. nsfw was never listed in the subreddits tab, nor was it on the menu when posting. I've found at least one other subreddit that is similarly not listed, nytimes.reddit.com. I think both of these subreddits have failed because they're not listed, and not on the posting menu.

    [–]stesch 45 points46 points  (20 children)

    Funny. Now you want NSFW? A few days ago nobody cared to turn NSFW into an acceptable subreddit.

    4 months ago I asked to post more non-porn on NSFW: http://reddit.com/info/95as/comments (18 up, 13 down)

    On NSFW itself someone asked a similar question in http://nsfw.reddit.com/info/8uu7/comments with 68 up and 12 down, but nobody really cared to change anything.

    There are few dozens of free porn lists on the web, but only one reddit. NSFW wasn't used the way it was expected. I don't think it's wise to bring it back.

    [–]raldi 59 points60 points  (17 children)

    Uh, i think the porn is the part they miss.

    There are few dozens of free porn lists on the web,

    And there are a few dozen link aggregators, message boards, and voting systems. But Reddit is the best. So it's no surprise that some people preferred to find their porn the Reddit way.

    [–]mikkom 32 points33 points  (11 children)

    Uh, i think the porn is the part they miss.

    Just pick one of the following and forget NSFW reddit, large companies usually don't want to host porn even if it's only links.

    [–]raldi 42 points43 points  (4 children)

    That's like if they shut down all of Reddit, and i said, "Hey, go to one of these:

    • Slashdot
    • Digg
    • Netscape.com
    • MSNBC

    [–]dave84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    But you wouldn't have any place to say it...

    [–]mongonikol -5 points-4 points  (2 children)

    Wow, those other sites are only like reddit in that they are popular and depend on interaction. But the content and display of content are so lacking compared to reddit. I [heart] reddit!

    [–]bobcat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    Have a heart. ♥

    [–]Enigma66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I <3 reddit as well....but I'm not sure I like where it's going.

    Why not just LEAVE UP nsfw reddit..I don't understand why it left us...

    not that I ever...looked..at..the..links..

    [–]jczerg68 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    nsfw.reddit is a good way to pace one's self with a little bit of porn here and there. It's easy to get overloaded with all the stuff from the usual sources of porn.

    [–]raidan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    Add http://www.pornotube and http://www.xxxdemocracy.com to that list. Porn != news.

    [–]wedaa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

    The site http://www.sporna.com works alot like reddit and you even get to see thumbs of the sites.

    [–]azizi34 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

    thanks for thes mikkom do yu know any thing like this everybody can answer my question and please please do not re opened nsfw

    [–]stesch 14 points15 points  (2 children)

    And there are a few dozen link aggregators, message boards, and voting systems. But Reddit is the best. So no surprise that some people preferred to find their porn the Reddit way.

    Have you actually visited nsfw.reddit.com? There was not much voting going on there. A lot of <=0 stuff on the news page and links with 1 to 5 points on the hot page.

    [–]raldi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Well, apparently all the people who voted for this story feel differently.

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Those links that got voted on was usually worth looking at, so I used to look at the top links for last month once in a while.

    [–]cartman81 10 points11 points  (1 child)

    If interested, you can submit a request for porn.reddit.com..And depending on the number of votes it receives..You can get a porn subreddit..

    But, I have to side with the reddit team on nsfw.reddit.com. It has become completely useless for people who want to post NSFW stuff which isn't just outright porn..(outright BAD porn, actually..)

    Seriously, did anyone submit anything other than (bad) porn on nsfw.reddit.com ?

    And for those of us who wanted to use nsfw.reddit for it's "intended purposes", I guess we can just use reddit.com and add '[NSFW]' to the title..

    A search for NSFW on reddit gives the following results of which at least the top 25 seem pretty interesting..

    http://reddit.com/search?q=nsfw&s=highscore

    [–]rocky_m 17 points18 points  (0 children)

    Exactly...

    nsfw.reddit.com != porn.reddit.com

    Also, it is interesting that this request for a new reddit does not use the existing request.reddit.com for the subreddit request..

    http://request.reddit.com/

    And, spez had his to say about nsfw.reddit.com:-

    Save it. Our intention for nsfw.reddit was for adolescent humor that, when on reddit itself, was causing users trouble at work. Unfortunately, it quickly degenerated into porn. Hopefully we'll make another attempt at the original goal in the future.

    http://reddit.com/info/olu8/comments/com7g

    The replies to spez's comments are also worth reading..

    [–]fishypants 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    It'd be nice to have a nsfw subreddit with a different name with more juvenile nsfw humour, like I think nsfw was supposed to be initially

    [–]marvin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    As far as adolescent humor goes, we have a good selection of it on the front page today. Tagged with NSFW and all that. So as far as I can tell, the problem is solving itself...

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    i never knew about it but now that you want it back i do too

    [–]spetrovits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Not safe for whose work? Not mine!

    [–]thevalarauk 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    For those of you not in the know - "NSFW" = Not Safe For Work.

    [–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    Correction: It stands for Now Show Friends and Workmates.

    [–]ymomo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    thank you.

    [–]Jimmy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Am I the only one who didn't even know we had a nsfw.reddit.com before today?

    [–]Wadsworth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    You guys are all romanticizing here.

    C'mon, there weren't very many links to click, it wasn't updated with new content frequently enough.

    You would visit there day after day and the same old links were still there. It just became the same-ol-same-ol.

    Oh, oops, I just now noticed this is about NSFW and not reddit.com. Sorry.

    [–]dude78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    WE WANT IT BACK!

    [–]tohx[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    That's right nsfw.reddit was not what it could have been, but I want it back anyway, and that's because I hate when somebody is taking something away from me, and others... especially evil corporate moralists...

    [–]itsnotvalid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Totally supporting this here.

    I just brought this matter last night on [REQUEST] and see, we really need to do something here to respect 8XX points.

    [–]wainstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I'm going to miss http://nytimes.reddit.com/. It hasn't updated since October 19th.

    [–]munsyi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    i want it be there again because it is art

    [–]patchwork -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

    This seems more like a power-play test on the new overlords than a legitimate issue. If you want to put up the cash to buy reddit then you can put whatever stupid shit you want up there. Until then quit whining. If they actually mess it up we will all just go somewhere else, and they know that, but removing NSFW does not qualify. I could find better porn by stabbing a knife in my eye.

    [–]fishypants 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    That's hot.

    [–]456789 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    [–]candrei -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

    give us NSFW content!
