Title renders this post pretty unfindable. It's cute, but not helpful in the long run.

| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:15 | comment | added | apaul | So, a specific post about what sort of language should be used when talking about sex, without tacking it onto a question about trolls. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:12 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | @apaul - Mostly because I think sex can be (and already is) on topic . | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:08 | comment | added | apaul | Ya... I'll definitely be framing the conversation your way... How about asking a specific question about whether sex should be on topic, or what language is acceptable when talking about it, without tacking it onto a question about trolls. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:06 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | @apaul - I didn't post for support. I posted for discussion. I have an opinion, but if the community (or individuals) disagrees with me, that's fine. It's not about my sensibilities. It's about what the community wants for itself. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:04 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | We disagree. It's not my site. I don't make the rules. "Why should we censor them because we're uncomfortable?" Because there are standards. And this is why I took it to meta. Please don't make this about me. It's not. It's about the entire site, and it's for the community to decide. Post an answer defending trolls. Or post a question about how much variation from polite in the USA should be accepted. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:03 | comment | added | apaul | I suspect you may be seeing a skewed level of support here... It's really easy to get people on the anti-troll bandwagon... and drag another issue along with it. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 16:00 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | @Catija - I'm not missing the point. There's a difference between disagreement and misunderstanding, something many people don't understand. They think if they explain themselves enough, the other person will agree. I do understand. I disagree. I think this site should have some standard of decency. Please note, we are disagreeing though I presented my case. It has happened before, and you accused me of not presenting enough of a case. Is this enough of a case?... | |

| Dec 15, 2017 at 15:54 | comment | added | Catija Mod | You're missing the point... Part of what's possible on Stack Exchange is the ability to be anonymous. Half of the questions here are things that people wouldn't want to ask their friends or coworkers... if they did, they'd be asking them instead of asking them here... People don't generally like to be open with the people they know... at least... not the people I know. We shouldn't assume that every question here has to be something that a person would actually ask a friend about. Uncomfortable questions abound. Why should we censor them because we're uncomfortable? | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 15:34 | comment | added | apaul | This would be much more valuable if you could separate issues. | |

| Dec 15, 2017 at 0:14 | comment | added | Em C | So just to clarify, we're talking about potential trolls here, not what to do about explicit NSFW content? I think they're both important discussions to be had, but they are two distinct issues to iron out. (e.g. it would be good to have one meta post which clearly shows the community consensus on NSFW content so we can point to it if we decide to close such questions.) | |

| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:54 | comment | added | Shog9 | Hey @OldPadawan - saw your edit to the 2nd question. Please avoid using meta-tags-in-titles as a substitute for clarity; a title that reflects the question will warn off folks who wish to avoid NSFW content much more readily than a "NSFW" prefix. See Robert's guidelines here: interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2216/… | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:44 | comment | added | OldPadawan | FWIW: I was fast on flag-n-VTC on both. As mentioned by OP, this could have been nicely crafted with no offensive words. And I believe many of us wouldn't have been the FGITW | |

| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:35 | comment | added | Shog9 | Well, fortunately chat is not the sole arbiter of what's allowed here. And as such, I think it would help to focus this question a bit for the benefit of the folks who aren't in chat: lay out the argument(s) for keeping these questions and then explain why you feel they're invalid. | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | user4548 | @Shog9 those of us who were told that we shouldn't have deleted/vtc/flagged those posts were told to bring it into Meta, which we are doing. There was some rather heated criticism directed towards us for having done so. | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:28 | comment | added | anongoodnurse | @Shog9 - When I took my concern to chat, there was resistance to deleting. That's what I'm addressing. Also addressing whether we want explicit sex acts to be discussed in that manner, or whether we want to maintain a measure of decorum. | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:26 | comment | added | Shog9 | Not entirely sure what you're looking to discuss here; both of these questions were deleted fairly quickly. Putting aside the question of whether this was a sincere question in the first place, was it a good question for this site? Is the topic (sex act etiquette?) something y'all want here, when asked sincerely? | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:20 | comment | added | user4548 | It was an obvious troll, and I am an expert at trolling. | |
| Dec 14, 2017 at 17:14 | comment | added | Magisch | I was arguing against R/A deleting this outright, but I'm not sure it can stay. Either way good to have the meta discussion. | |
