has coded up a brand new feature, its a pretty cool one too.

Its a new tag a shit posting tag, now it works just like NSFW posts, the OP or mods or admins can tag a post as a shitpost.

The idea here is that people who just don't want to see that type of thing will be able to disable it in their account settings and then they won't see it just like NSFW.

What we are looking for as far as a question is should these be enabled or disabled by default in peoples accounts?

Please let us know your thoughts.

This is a place for unfiltered free speech and that is exactly what they should see when they first arrive. If they want to limit the speech they see, then they should have to go in and change a setting.

Additionally, I don't recall what the default is for the NSFW filter, but (and maybe this is obvious) these two features should match in what unchecking & checking the box does. If checking NSFW box allows NSFW tags, then checking the Shitpost box should allow Shitpoast tags.

I agree, the settings should match. Perhaps they should both be enabled by default. However the NSFW tag being disabled by default I think is a good thing just in case younger people discover the site.

It's not you're job to parent other people's kids. It's the parents responsibility. Poal isn't a babysitter but if parents use it as one that's on them

I feel like matching them should be primary and anything else secondary to that (I dont know why I feel that....a touch of ocd maybe).

Then the two choices are either make speech unfiltered by default, and hope that minors are quick enough to change their settings, or have the default include a filter(s) that must be turned off by the user.

So it comes down to how much should we think of the children. I guess Id support a user having to face facts that they need speech filtered but then I don't care about protecting kids. Also, if they find this place then they've probably already seen worse.
