Like the way that missions are rated for excellence by the # of stars they receive, could NSFW missions be rated by the # of red flags?

A mission that may be rated NSFW for profanity probably is not considered as 'dirty' (by most people) as a site rated NSFW for a diarrhea fountain (or whatever it was, sweet potato soda?)

I realize that I'm bringing up the slippery slope again--just what is considered dirty? By introducing the flag rating system, it would be subject to a vote by those who have taken the mission knowing that it was NSFW in the first place. And as someone mentioned in a mission pop-up, 'Go ahead! Indulge your inner syphilitc dwarf!'
And I am all for that, I am all for the free speech aspect of picking sites for missions...
I would just like to get a clue as to HOW much I'm asking for...
A dirty joke? Or nausea and a complete aversion to Thanksgiving side-dishes? ;)

I don't want to sound angry (Since I'm not,) or like I'm advocating censorship---just a more accurate warning system.

How about a '% of mission takers flagged' instead of an absolute number? Might be easier to gauge that way. If this is the direction PMOG want to take NSFW flagging in, anyway...

Sure, any warning system at this point is a good thing. Those missions that are NSFW don't seem to have ANY notification, except for a mention in the mission blurb. I would like to see a big red flag, or a stripe--or something else to get my attention.

The wording in the introductions is not always enough to get an accurate idea of where you are going on a mission, and as much as I like that idea--that there is 'mystery' involved--I do not want my browser hijacked by Rick Astley or turned into a coprophiliac's delight.

Hear hear. The NSFW-ness of a number of the missions kills my ability to play at work. :) It'd be fine if players could accept a mission or not based on some credible rating of NSFWness. <3

Oh nevermind, you can flag a mission after you do it, and there's a NSFW toggle in profile settings.

I will now return to my squishy soft newb shoatness.

Also, keep an eye out in the very near future for a way to flag portals NSFW on the fly (in case one hasn't been marked as it should). :)
