Not Work Safe...illegal?

It had been my understanding that NWS links (Not Work Safe) were fine, so long as they are clearly marked, thus warning potential clickers not to click, if in a work environment.

But recently, Henry closed, rather than tagged, a thread that contained an NWS link.

So my question is, are NWS links completely banned here at ENWorld?

That's correct. There might be a weird exception floating around here or there, but that's the general rule.

Yuppers. Since Eric is a teacher, we never wanted links that he wouldn't want his students to follow. That's been a good rule that has stuck with us.

And I'm actually very glad of it. While I frequent plenty of boards that allow that kind of thing, it's nice to have a safe haven, and to know that I'm not going to open a disturbing link because I was misled. (I'm no prude, but my son hangs out in my office a lot- he's at my side right now.)

Sorry about the link I did not consider whether it was work safe.

Thanks for the clarification guys. Not that it really matters to me personally (I hardly ever post links of any kind), but I had a powerful curiosity.
