⚠️ Filters and Spoilers FAQ
Confused by the differences between Creator's Spoiler and the NFSW and Gore Filters? Need examples for what scenarios each one is used in?
InkBlot’s Content filters are to make sure that the creator’s post reaches the correct audience since it is their responsibility to do. We provide the tools and the creators do the rest. This also helps users be able to curate their own experience here on InkBlot so that they don't interact or see things that they don't wish to.
Our Filter System is young, we are still working things out. You can feel free to give feedback on this via our feedback board so we can better improve it.
InkBlot currently has three different filters that can help all creators on our platform: Creator's Spoiler, NSFW filter, and Gore Filter A breakdown of each one can be found below, while a step by step tutorial can be found here to help find where and how to enable them.**
(abbreviated as "CS")
The creator's spoiler is for those that post something that might not fall under the NSFW filter or the Gore.
We know that there are some things that fall in-between and this spoiler is here to help with that!
Common use cases:
Very minimal blood that wouldn’t classify as Gore
Spoiler for a TV show or manga that just released
Artistic Nudity (note: we do not require a filter/spoiler for this but some creators might want to spoiler this to feel more comfortable)
Eye strain (colors that are very bright)
Phobia-inducing imagery
Suggestive Content (please see our Content Guidelines to know how we view the line between NSFW and suggestive)
When NOT to use CS:
Post contains Gore
Post contains NSFW themes
Memes/gimmicks/jokes
This would be inappropriate use of our filter system and can result in post removal or account action
Content warnings, or tags, are still required when using this feature. Please refer to our Content Warning Guidelines.
Note: Even one post that is filtered as NSFW will require the entire account to be marked as 18+/Adult. Please refer to our Account Types guide.
The NSFW filter is for those that post content that needs to be only seen by a mature (18 yrs or older) audience. This can include mature themes which are outlined in our Content Guidelines.
Common use cases:
Explicit Nudity for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer
Sexual positions/scenario
Depiction of Sex
Mature themes (please refer and reference to our Content guidelines
Fetishistic content whether explicit in nature or not, fetishes do not have to be visibly sexual or suggestive to be a fetish
When NOT to use the NSFW Filer:
Depictions of only Gore anmd No NSFW themes
Memes/gimmicks/jokes
This would be inappropriate use of our filter system and can result in post removal or account action
Content warnings, or tags, are still required when using this feature. Please refer to our Content Guidelines
The NSFW filter is for those that post content that needs to be only seen by a mature (18 yrs or older) audience. This can include mature themes which are outlined in our Content Guidelines.
The above looks like it was copy and pasted from the NSFW filter info
Common use cases:
Copious or large amounts of blood depicted
Open and obvious wounds
Exposed bones, organs
Body Horror
When NOT to use the Gore Filter:
Depiction of only NSFW and no sign of Gore
Memes/gimmicks/jokes
This would be inappropriate use of our filter system and can result in post removal or account action
Content warnings, or tags, are still required when using this feature. Please refer to our Content Guidelines
Can I use more than one filter on a post?
Yes! You can use the NSFW filter and the Gore filter at the same time or the CS and the NSFW or vice versa.
Can I filter NSFW through the mobile app
NO. You must only post NSFW through the Mobile browser or Desktop Browser versions of the site. This is due to App store restrictions that Inkblot must abide to.
What if I don’t know what filter to choose?
Just go with the most extreme case. Its always easier and safer for some kind of filter to be applied then none at all when you feel that there should be one.
You can reach out to our moderator team through the report button on the post to ask about your own post or reach out to safety@inkblot.art.
