yes. please.

i really really hate accidentally watching sifted violence.

I guess NSFW really does have a very broad meaning. For americans, apparently, it can range anywhere from a girl wearing a bikini top to a guy getting shot in the face.

Seems like a decent idea.

*graphic would be good. However, what if a video is *brief, *nsfw, AND *graphic (or *long, *nsfw, AND *graphic)? Where would all those tags fit? Look at this. See how there's only room for two tags below the thumbnail? That could be a problem. If we were to have a *graphic tag, it might have to supersede the *nsfw tag, basically meaning if something is tagged *graphic it could be all sorts of crazy shit the boss might not like OR might make you a little queasy, so watch it at your own risk. Even then, this solution might not be acceptable to some. Some members might have bosses who don't care if you watch a video of someone having his brains spattered against a brick wall, but a nipple slip or a "motherfucker" earns you a pink slip.

I don't know nothing.

I do like the idea, because nsfw can be anything.

I suppose we could make it an upgrade to the nsfw, like NSFL (not safe for life), which is bigger and redder and warns off people more vigorously.

I figure if the video had a graphics tag, then it wouldn't need a NSFW tag.

Seems like what you want here is to make NSFW more specific - NSFW-V (violence), NSFW-L (language), NSFW-N (nudity), NSFW-S (sexual content), etc. Then they can be combined, for instance, "Holy shit! That guy's head just got blown clear the fuck off!" = NSFW-VL.

If anybody's head is getting blown off or people are getting beaten to death... well it's snuff, and should be removed from the sift.

Apart from that there are two types of NSFW - videos that have swearing and those that have something else (nudity, brutality etc...). That's the only split of NSFW I'd make.

No, because people being decapitated or beaten to death is newsworthy and, thus, exempt from the snuff rule.

Don't judge us all by the actions of one ant.

There are videos on VideoSift that depict fictional events which are still NSFW.

@kronosposeidon is right, there isn't any room for additional tags and honestly, it would get really convoluted if any more tags are added on top of the existing ones. My suggestion would be to make an overlay a la FlashBlock that warns you more specifically about the nature of the content before you get to the video itself. However I'd reserve that for the more extreme cases, because I'd be annoying if every NSFW video had such an overlay.

Make a poll!

I like this idea, I don't sift while I'm working, but I do sift at home. I find the NSFW tag ambiguous in that environment. Like if my kids are up and buzzing around the house I don't mind something that's NSFW-L.. but I don't want to watch NSFW-S. And I never ever ever want to watch NSFW-V.
