People don't just browse in phones. They browse on computers. Colleagues come over to their work area to talk with them and often see what's on the screen.

I'm not prudish. I'm fine with adult content in the privacy of my own home. It's not suitable at work which should remain professional. I also wouldn't want my kids seeing porn when they are too young to understand.

You seem to be having an imaginary argument and don't understand what I, or other users are saying so I'll leave it here..

This is not about being a prude, these are words on paper arguing about ethics or behaviour, being a prude or not has nothing to do with that. And no one is watching porn. You're misunderstanding what happened in OP and what he's complaining about. He posted words about something, not porn, and it was taken down. I saw this at work and I had no issues with it, again, because it was just words.

On your phone, which is seminprovate. Words discussing porn on a computer screen at work would be.inappropriate. it's the point of the tag. This thread is someone suggesting it should be tagged nsfw and maybe that's why it was removed. I'm inclined to agree, bit that may or may not be the reason.

I don't understand how, really, it's an intellectual conversation, an exploration of ideas. You could discuss Mein Kampf and it wouldn't be NSFW, right? Unless you're in Germany, idk, where it's not safe to discuss anywhere, lol... Can you explain what makes it inappropriate for the workplace or anywhere, and what that word means to you? What's the point in the NSFW tag, what makes things safe or not safe for work ? All you've said was "these words are NSFW because they're inappropriate". You're going around in circles.
