Maybe this belongs here, maybe it doesn't. Just commenting that some boards listing in the normal image boards section are certainly not worksafe any longer. I don't visit often any longer but specifically the RO board and the Ah! My Goddess boards have porn all over them. Either somebody no longer monitors them or whoever administers them decided to change them to NSFW boards. Can they be moved to the adult section? Or new mods to cover them or something?
I've noticed the Female/Female board has a lot of porn as well, some of which is spam but others which seem to be posted in good faith such as http://kei.iichan.net/oai/res/19958.html
>>1 "WARNING: By accessing this site you agree that you are over 18 and give up your right to a worksafe environment."

In that case, why do some boards have worksafe rules and there exists an "Adult" section of the sidebar for many of those which do not? It seems inconsistent.
>>4 because iichan is a network of smaller boards that have inconsistent rules across the different sites. "Adult" boards are those that are exclusively for the posting of pornographic images.

I see, /hinata/ and /sakura/ don't seem to be exclusively pornographic though. Why are they adult?
This is a gray area.
If someone can come up with a solution (e.g. better categorizing), I'm all ears.
How about "Work-safe", "Mixed", and "Adult"? Other boards use that categorization, and it seems to work well.
You'd sort of have to coordinate with each board to figure out whether the content should go into the work safe category or not...
(... "work-safe" is not necessarily a guarantee, merely a suggestion. No open internet forum is truly work-safe, of course; that would take a dedicated moderation team reviewing each post before it is made public, and I hardly expect any board here to do that)
Movie ratings might be a bit more intuitive?
i.e. "PG", "R" and "XXX"
sure, I understand I give up my right to worksafe blah blah ... I'm one of those guys who doesn't like porn. I understand stumbling on a pic or two when I browse image boards but if a board is 80% porn I think it should be moved off to the adult section so I know what's board is safer than others.
That's all

That's highly US-centric. Each country has its own definition of ratings, and they're hardly similar.
Putting [15+] or an [Ecchi Inside!] symbol next to a board's name would convey it best. Squeezing boards under a new category based on some nudity being ok would not be a good solution IMO. It would just up muddle up navigation in the sidebar. There's already like a hundred links there so let's keep some clarity.
I don't think adding extra categories would work; neither as a new section or as tags.
Well - maybe. If you accept that some things will spill over, you can argue that porn still wouldn't make it all the way to "worksafe".
But what, should board owners be forced to have three boards for any one topic? (Might not be too hard to set up, of course.) And how do you stop the SFW boards from drying up completely, if anything remotely ecchi goes to the "middle" board?
Then again, the boards I visit don't really have any problems. I can sympathise with >>12 though. Would it be much work movign boards to different sections, based on discussion here? And what would the people running the boards say?
nsfw board = contains nsfw images
sfw board = contains no nsfw images
Y'know, there's a way of ensuring that you're not caught looking at NSFW material at your job, and thus running the risk of PROMOTIONS:
Wait till you're at home, then you can look at all the filthy stuff you want. The workplace ISN'T for slacking off, and whacking off during your employer's time. You're paid to work, not wank!
There, you see? That's not hard, is it? This ensures that iichan can be as NSFW as can be (within limits, no CP, guro, scat etc - YIK!)
