This seems to me to be an issue of precedent setting. Short of a declared list of rules, forum engagement is predominantly a social contract. If there's no common understanding as to why pornography is or isn't allowed (and under what, if any, circumstances), it'll probably lead to those ideas being tested (by force or just the passage of time).
Is it an outright ban on NSFW content , is it a "mods are tired" deal... I think all that people are looking for is the established baseline of what system exists (and, if possible, knowing why).
Personally I always thought having porn content here was strange. For one, it seemed completely off-brand for a design forum that tries to be at least semi-conscious of humanity? And for two, the amount there was seemed a bit ... excessive. But I do like that it was always contained to a couple threads that I could just ignore, and I can see the risks of ending it all without any sort of nod to what isn't or isn't acceptable.
I'm fine with removal but would only suggest some type of "moving forward, here is a baseline system" established rule set. There have been plenty of posters over the years who have gone to great extent to kind of push boundaries, so it seems removing something without acknowledging how to move forward is the riskiest path.

Turning it into reddit with up and downvotes is a miserable pursuit - the dopey gonks with sock puppet accounts will just fuck about even more.
Just add an option to toggle to hide it in the user profiles and have it hidden by default if you are not logged in.

I think we need to think about how to have a better life. And so I agree with all the trash removal.
Perhaps a trashcan icon can be next to thread titles - and those that receive the most clicks per week are automatically binned.

I also think that QBN will always be considered a small-time, pathetic forum. No one in the industry takes it seriously. The QBN brand is very much male-dominated, insular and immature holdover from the days when web forums were a thing people cared about.
Maybe the QBN brand can change over time, and this is a step in the right direction, but it will take time.
Honestly, if you came here with no context and saw Boobs of the Day Butt of the Day Chick of the Day... who takes this seriously. I agree with _mort, above.

Shocked at the suggestion there is moderation given how so many bad-faith posters were left to roam unchecked for months. At least those threads kept everything in one place and the 'moderators' knew where to go.

I love the COTD thread.
OK there's one twat who keeps posting weird pics of questionably aged girls, but we can scroll past them can we not?NSFW thread can go, but please don't take away Chick / Butt / Boobs of the day

Finally! Congratulations.
Now let puritanical flames burn away all the evil flesh and leave but the pure undressed skeleton of righteousness

In all seriousness tho, when will we need our Covid passports to access QBN. I’m looking forward to the futile
