Not Work Safe...illegal?

[Lord Pendragon]

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.
