Hello!! Thank you for understanding while digging for solutions with us and keeping us company. I completely understand your frustrations with this regarding your poem being marked as 18+ while we have to agree with what Star said as well. I will run a quick discord guild-lines check for better clarifications in order to take the next step for what I've thought to imply for such content. Once I've ticked all of the things I said above I'll let you know!

The issue i see is that more channels = more confusion = more edge cases

#

It would be better to have a single sensitive channel like we already do but with very clear rules about what is allowed and whats not

#

Adding a highly sensitive channel would only blur the already blurred line between sensitive and 18+ content creating even more confusion

#

And we really jsut want to avoid any risk of exposing minors to adult content

Sounds good, so we can broaden the channel and have the mod team keep a more closer eye on it to avoid any edgy posts

#

Actually

#

We re also working on smoething similar that should help with the mod system, so please give us some time

#

What we require are proper trigger and content warnings in every post

#

We had also received few complaints about having the sensitive channel in a public space

#

Well some people didnt want it here.

#

But we re writers, we wanted to make it available. So we made it accessible only to those who opt in rather than everyone. This works better and now that its in place we can even broaden the content accepted in the channel

#

They now do

#

We added it to the onboarding

#

You can choose if you want access to those channels or not

#

Stay tuned 🫰

Hey so I just browsed through your guy's discussion and you're right about the guidelines part but its my job to re-check the rules nevertheless (before makinga decision). I like the way you think – however west has a point here as well. Expanding the channel can cause many blurred lines between the members and their creativity so we try our best to keep it precise yet convenient. Although I will still take your advise into account because its a good one. One thing I'll assure you is that we'll definitely make out of this with a solution, and not without. You're not causing any pain because we encourage our members to speak up on feedbacks, suggestions, server issues, and etc. We as staff see your vision and your solutions and they're worthy to take into account, it's just we have to make sure of a few things before we actually decide to make that happen. Hope that part is understandable. Either way, your art will definitely find peace in one of the channels here, don't worry. b_pinkheartsparkle

Could you elaborate the first part you said? I did not get that
