Over Moderating of this site

Is this sort of stuff needed on this site (in moderation fine but pages and pages?) when the internet is a wonderful tool to be able to view anything you wish without having to come to safooty?

We have to consider everyone and we dont want boards clogged up with the same thing which may stop people posting. We also dont want anyone to open a thread at work which may cause them issues with their employer.
Would love to hear the views of others.

I'm sure a lot of others with similar employment aren't even aware that it's that tough. I know I wasn't 'till it cost me $1300 for a lawyer to keep it down to a reprimand. Now I wont even look at a forum, facebook or similar at work.

The issue raised by OP is easy fixed for Mods. Put a *NSFW* in the title of each thread that's deemed borderline.
I don't think the site is over-moderated, I liken it to Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Exactly what we have been discussing.
After much discussion between the Mods the thread has returned and moved to the Entertainment board with NSFW which we will use as a warning that you may wish to open when at home not work. By doing this we will still make sure our rules are strictly enforced.
NSFW = Not Suitable For Work
