I don't know, I used to be in support of this and I could get behind the idea, but I want everyone to consider the fact that so many breakout discords exist anyways. "Breakout" meaning, discords that were created/split from the main Dinklebergs discord. You'll usually find most of those breakout discords have the option to post NSFW content.
I don't think there's a necessity to implement a NSFW channel, I think like the Dinkleberg's quote Toska linked, there might be an issue with over-staffing. In my opinion this has always been an issue with the server. I think this was most prevalent when we had two weeks of "drama" regarding the use of "retard" in the discord. Same thing with suicide jokes. Same thing with a lot of the jokes that are said on the server. There just doesn't seem to be a good line in the sand. I just think instead of abiding by the rules black and white, there should be more consideration of context.
I don't mean to come at any admin's negatively. You all, for the most part do a good job, and I understand the "struggle" many of you guys go through. For 75% of my time here, I would say I was an example of "over the top" trolling. So, with that in mind it's hard to balance the two extremes.
I'd also like people to consider how the times have changed - 10 years ago when I was playing games things were much more relaxed in regards to what children were exposed to / moderation. I can remember joining GMod and the only thing that was banned was racism. Everything else was fair game. Obviously, I don't think we should return to that laissez-faire moderation style, but I also don't think the opposite extreme does anyone any good either. Per TOS of discord, you have to be at least 13 to use it. That's the end of middle school / beginning of highschool. These 'children' aren't so much 'children' as they are more young adults, so I don't think "sheltering" (not the ideal word, because this situation isn't that deep) them from bad-bad words is doing them any good.
