The idea of a a sign saying "not safe for work" in the lobby of a  
business (a place of WORK) does seem rather ridiculous.

But personally I don't see any need for NSFW content. But really: it's  
only a couple of people (one?) who tend to post NSFW content on a  
regular basis.

I don't think we need hard guidelines, but individuals should have  
some respect for the community consensus around acceptability.
