Steemit just deployed a new release earlier today, and it includes a fix for the NSFW issue!
NSFW Issue Resolution
Here is what NSFW posts look like now by default:
You can choose between three options in your settings:
(The default is "Always warn", which is shown above)
Another cool feature - here is what it shows "new users" who have not signed up yet:
(It is now another encouragement for users to create an account!)
Comment Sort Order
Another great addition is that we can select a sort order for comments now!
The three options are by trending, votes, or new:

Good, now I can continue being Amish in peace without seeing double-pie holes anymore and worrying about my 13 year-old next door neighbor.

ha ha!!!!!! It's weird that I was one of the ones putting up a fight to get a nsfw tag resolved, since I'm not exactly the most reserved person in the world.....just look at my art! It's like really sexually explicit and grotesque. But I do have my limits and to be honest, I don't enjoy looking at women who subjugate themselves. My complaint mostly was for kids, since they are all over this site...

::nods:: Hey, I don't even like to see myself naked. LOL I'm not fond of the visual content but I will always defend their right to post it as long as it's legal, you know?
That being said, I'm not particularly fond of the idea that kids are on the site. Maybe give them Steemit JR. because it's not just the sexually explicit stuff, it's also language. I personally love flinging the F word around and don't want to filter my content. This now makes me wonder Will I need the NSFW label if I throw in explicit language? Even retail markets need parental consent for kids under 18 to buy certain video games because of content.
Don't get me wrong - I agree that NSFW stuff needs a "safety cover". Right now it's for the porn and X-rated things, and I do label my erotic fiction - BUT where does it stop? What's it's reach? Are we now allowing the younglings and the goody-goodies to determine what should or must be labeled as NSFW? It's kind of a slippery slope if you ask me.
On the flip side - we kind of need it if we ever want to go mainstream and get out of beta.

My thoughts as well. I'm actually all for nsfw content. I just think it is extremely important to give users who don't want to see it (including minors) the ability to hide it.

Awesome, thanks for the update! So I guess the tags has not been fixed yet.
Also do you know if there is a way to change the email that is tied to each account. Like I don't want the email attached to the account I am using anymore since i have made a new one.

Just tested - it is not fixed yet.
I don't know the answer to the email question. As far as I know, it is not possible. It may be something they add in a future release.

So, in the case of really NSFW stuff, like hardcore you know what, does the NSFW tag need to be first for this new system to work? Or just one of the tags need to be NSFW? This needs clarification.

Nice! How exactly is the NSFW system being applied? Does it rely fully on the author tagging correctly? If so, is the accepted etiquette for content that is not properly tagged for it to be flagged by the community?

Yes, for now it relies on users using the #nsfw tag. The community will need to decide on the proper etiquette. I think most of it should be pretty obvious though.
