NSFW 2.0 is an open system of "link licenses" that allow you to clearly identify the nature of any material you forward, share, link to, or host on the internet. A small but robust set of badges and markers enable anyone to clearly mark their content, and provide easy access to this site, where each license is thoroughly explained and defined.
Feel free to download, modify, and use the badges provided. Take a look at the individual license pages for a better understanding of what each label indicates. And if you have any ideas about how these licenses can be, or need to be improved, please, by all means, let us know:

Let's face it. In today's new internet, the old NSFW label isn't giving you enough information about the material showing up in your inbox, rss feed, tweetdeck, or chat window. We recognize the need for a new system, built on a familiar framework, and so we present: Not Safe For Work (version 2.0)
NSFPC material might contain swear words, allusions to gambling, images of fast cars, offensive jokes, or questions about religion. Avoid NSFPC material if you're surfing the web with your ultra-conservative grandmother.
An old classic. NSFW material almost certainly depicts nipples. Maybe extreme violence. Also, as any hard-working employee will confirm, NSFW includes any and every stupid Flash game. Work time isn't play time.
NSFH material contains any kind of filth you wouldn't want your significant other to find in a browser history. NSFH material demands a level of privacy even greater than the personal, home computer.
NSFA is exactly what it says. Not. Safe. For. Anyone. If you find yourself labeling material NSFA it better not be because you are forwarding it, but because you've found it and can't destroy it.
TSFE material is totally safe for everyone (and everywhere). As long as you don't work or hang out with people who react violently to pictures of pandas and unicorns, and anthropomorphic popcorn.
