Discord is a popular platform for gamers and communities to connect and communicate. However, it’s crucial to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all users.
One way to achieve this is by properly managing NSFW (Not Safe For Work) settings on your Discord server. In this article, we will explore how you can change NSFW settings on your Discord server using simple steps.
What are NSFW settings?
NSFW settings refer to the rules and regulations that govern the type of content allowed on a Discord server. By enabling NSFW settings, you can restrict or allow explicit content such as adult themes, violence, or profanity.
Step 1: Accessing Server Settings
To change NSFW settings on your Discord server, you need administrative privileges or be assigned the necessary role. Once you have the required permissions, follow these steps:
- Open Discord and navigate to your desired server.
- On the left-hand side panel, locate and click on the server name.
- A drop-down menu will appear. Click on “Server Settings” at the bottom of the menu.
Step 2: Enabling NSFW Content
After accessing the Server Settings, follow these steps to enable NSFW content:
- In the Server Settings menu, choose “Moderation” from the left-hand side panel.
- Scroll down until you find the “Content Filter” section.
- To enable NSFW content for text channels, tick the checkbox next to “Scan Messages from Members”.
- If you want to allow explicit media files in text channels as well, tick the checkbox next to “Allow Media Content”.
- Click on the “Save Changes” button at the bottom to apply your settings.
Step 3: Creating an NSFW Channel
To create a dedicated NSFW channel, follow these steps:
- Go back to the Server Settings menu and click on “Channels”.
- Locate the text channels section and click on the “+” button to create a new channel.
- Give your new channel a name and select its position within the server hierarchy.
- Scroll down until you find the “NSFW Channel” option and enable it by ticking the checkbox.
- Click on “Create Channel” to finalize your settings.
Step 4: Managing NSFW Roles
To ensure that only authorized members can access NSFW content, you should assign specific roles. Here’s how:
- In the Server Settings menu, select “Roles” from the left-hand side panel.
- Create a new role or choose an existing one that you want to designate as an NSFW role.
- Scroll down until you find the “NSFW Access” section for that role.
- To allow access to NSFW channels, tick the checkbox next to “View Channels”.
- If you want members with this role to be able to send messages or media in NSFW channels, tick additional checkboxes accordingly.
- Remember to save your changes by clicking on “Save Changes”.
