Margin Call To all fellow steemians and especially to the steemit administration on the NSFW section of steemit.

I recently went through the entire NSFW posts thread to see if there were any posts relating to child porn and shit like that and thank God there isn’t any to this date!
However I did find that there is an open door for sexually explicit content which is made way too available to minors and this is of some concern to me and should be of concern to everyone here actually... let me explain ....

I have nothing against pornography since it is a huge industry and literally millions of people love that stuff, however it is adult content and therefore should not be so readily available to minors in this forum. The fact that it (IS) will definitely hinder the sites reputation and create alot of controversial discussions on and about steemit and the steemit community which we really don’t want and don’t need.

Not everyone will set their parental control switches to the 'ON' position... this we all know... and it creats somewhat of a loophole which can be detrimental to the entire community down the line! (there are many ways this can turn sour)!!

In light of this, I do suggest that the steemit administrators make it foolproof so that minors can’t access it easily!

I would suggest that an age verification process be integrated into the platform where age can be confirmed before access to this section can be allowed. At least this way, the steemit platform will be able to maintain its child-safe character and avoid the negative aspects of being tagged or flagged as an 'unsafe for children' site.

"We need to keep this site free from reproach and have it as family friendly as possible" .

I can’t speak for everyone but I do really appreciate the steemit opportunity, its content, its great community and its tremendous value..... and I personally think compromising it in this way is something we can all agree is uncalled for!

I’m persuaded that the administration could set up a better firewall to keep the porn in check and have it strictly reserved for a mature audience. Perhaps a code given to each adult steemian (upon their request for one) where age verification can be confirmed, would be a good way to do this. Following this confirmation, the allocated code of access can be applied to that specific account and such code can then be required to view the contents of the NSFW section. ........ This measure would then secure the content thereof as far as the general public is concerned.

So at the risk of being a party pooper, I thought it necessary to point this out "BEFORE" we all get smashed because of it rather than "AFTER" SHTF when it's too late and we're all licking our wounds because of it!

To everyone a great experience in their relationship with steemit :) Thank you all for your attention on this matter!
