Hey all I'm gonna clear something up, and this is based on MY understanding:
I think this thread is fine as long as no active searches for NSFL media is being conducted. We also don't want back and forths on why NSFL searches are important or why they're not. A casual discussion should be fine though, because in reality, the NSFL articles still exist.
I have locked off-topic threads such as the Superman one, because it inevitably pushed people to search because they're obsessing over one topic within the thread. A listicle thread in my opinion is fine however, because nobody is doing a search, or at least they shouldn't be.
The rules with discussing NSFL topics has been incredibly murky on this site. The initial ban on the searches was due to the Christine Chubbick thread and carbonfreeze along with other users, advocating for these types of searches to stop. I'm inclined to agree, because family members of Chubbick were being contacted, and I think that's horrifying.
I will allow this thread until it either becomes too toxic, or people start a search for NSFL media.
Again, this is how I interpret the rule. So if you have any questions, maybe contact another mod or admin for further clarification.
Thanks Co!

Agreed! NSFL content, as disturbing as it is, can be morbidly fascinating and some NSFL content is too important to label completely taboo for discussion. So long as everyone is being respectful and things such as contacting family members of victims is strictly forbidden.

Doing a search in general here is a no go.
Edit: I'm also going to add, no links to NSFL stuff. That was stated in the lost media section.
