Warning in subject line ie Language, Profanity, etc.
Could we all be courteous and do like is often done on RfM and put something in the subject line when we link to something with profanity, porn/soft porn, etc. I realize almost everything goes in one of the forums, but it would be nice to sort of know when *not* to click when the kids are in earshot/eyeshot.

I don't suppose it's practical to put it in the subject line (too few characters available; original poster can't control what's contributed to the thread), but if it is something like that, a notation of "NSFW" should precede the link. That's common internet courtesy.

Ya mean like "swearage"? I love it when they use that term!

Back to this...I don't think that will work. While the OP might not embed a link of the nature you describe, another poster might do that within the thread. Maybe don't click the link?

I have a better idea. Why don't those who are offended by what they see as crass language make threads and use "profanity" as a straw man to tear down the character of those with more reasonable arguments?
