Jun 10, 2015 at 14:05 comment added Monica Cellio @James technical writing is on-topic on Writers and I use that site professionally. I have also sometimes used Travel in the context of business travel. In neither case am I looking at the types of questions you're talking about, but having the sites blocked would hinder those uses.

Jun 7, 2015 at 7:07 comment added user295616 @HDE226868 I think clarity on that is definitely needed, because I can think of plenty of cases where "explicit" linked material would definitely be on-topic for several Stackexchange sites.
Jun 6, 2015 at 22:37 comment added senshin This is currently a topic of significant discussion on Anime.SE: meta.anime.stackexchange.com/q/2405 (Main context: random internet schmoes come to Anime.Se and post screencaps or remembrances of pornographic anime ["hentai"] and ask us to identify them. Should we permit this? I think not, but consensus seems not to lie with me.)

Jun 6, 2015 at 21:31 comment added mmmmmm I would note that there is this proposal on Area 51 area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/62814/sexuality - some workplaces will find reasons to mark some things from here as NSFW
Jun 6, 2015 at 21:02 comment added Nzall @James Even promoted websites that are no longer beta stay on the domain. It's important that people on sites like Physics, Biology, Programmers,... are not blocked from accessing their sites because someone asked the wrong question.

Jun 6, 2015 at 20:49 comment added HDE 226868 An answer to this meta question on Movies & TV cites the network content policy as saying, "Sexually Explicit Material. Accounts that use Stack Exchange to post sexually explicit or pornographic material, or links to it, will be suspended." That seems to apply to accounts created for the sole purpose of posting this material, but I'm not sure about that.
Jun 6, 2015 at 20:48 comment added James True, as they're beta they're on the same domain too (just a sub domain)

Jun 6, 2015 at 20:47 comment added Nzall They're not used that often in workplaces, but most filters block on a domain level, and the entire domain has websites that are used by people in a workplace. @James
Jun 6, 2015 at 20:42 comment added James Are the three example sites you mentioned used by people in a workplace? I agree with the potential issue, however. At a quick glance I can see tags for most of these potentially problematic subjects. Such as "sex" and "erotica", so those are possibly going to be picked up by filters given their prominence on the site.
