Monthly Challenge for March 2022-----
Before we get to the meat of the post, I want to apologize to everyone. I've been dealing with health issues and RL troubles, and ended up taking an unplanned hiatus. It's kept me out of touch on Reddit, and even my Discord presence faded. I'm sorry to everyone, both our lovely colonists and my fellow moderators, for not being here. Massive props to u/Venusgate for picking up the Monthly Challenge posts, as well -- thank you, man, I genuinely appreciate it.
Alright.

There's been a few issues with Rule 3, the no NSFW rule. By 'NSFW', we mean sexually graphic or pornographic content. It's an awkward subject in general, because handling it means finding a line to toe between allowing our users freedom to talk about what they want (with reason) and following Reddit's TOS to prevent the sub from being age-locked to 18+, or even getting shut down completely. That's why it's a zero-tolerance rule -- Reddit could delete this entire sub if we let the wrong thing through. It's a consequence some people just do not seem to grasp. It's not because us mods are prudes. It's because Reddit wants to protect underage users from seeing mature content,
because them seeing it is literally illegal.
Unfortunately, this has led to a bit of overzealous moderation on the subject, especially when it comes to mods like RimJobWorld (or RJW). People have been getting banned for just mentioning the name in passing, and that's a bit too much. This post is hopefully going to clarify things and put to rest some confusion.

#####Do not put a sexually explicit title on your post.
Those can't be spoilered or hidden, and will be seen by anyone browsing the subreddit. Use something non-descriptive that both indicates what you need and
why it's NSFW (such as 'I'm having trouble with RJW surgeries'), and detail it in the post.
#####NSFW content in comments is moderated as much as posts. Do not post NSFW content in comments unless you spoiler it and include a NSFW warning.
The downside to having it in comments is that a moderator generally won't see it unless someone reports it. If you see something, say something. We appreciate it when someone calls our attention to questionable things in the comments, because unless we bring out AutoMod to go full-on Big Brother in them, it's damn near impossible to keep up with the thousands that are made every day. If people start taking advantage of that to try and sneak NSFW stuff in comments, more drastic punishments will have to be put into place.
#####Mentioning the name is fine,
within reasonIf it's relevant to the post or the comment, that's alright. Someone asks how OP did a certain thing, or what adds a certain element, and someone replies 'it's in RJW', it's acceptable to not put a warning on it. That being said...
#####Do not bring it up randomly in posts where it's not relevant.
Someone makes a post about how their pawn did a silly thing, do not go in and say 'did you know you can get RJW to REDACTED your REDACTED with the REDACTED', even with a warning on it. You wouldn't show hardcore porn to your coworker who's showing you a video of their puppy playing in the yard. Treat it the same way -- context matters.
#####Using the NSFW tag as clickbait or a prank is not allowed, period, whether in posts or comments.
If you're not sure if it'll need to be censored / tagged, ask a moderator, or put the tag anyway and clarify it's a 'just in case' in the comment of your post.
However, don't do it as a joke. Just like calling 911 for a prank is bad, don't put false flags on safe content. The tag is there for a reason. Diluting that just to get more attention is a
