nsfw-gate, responses to your questions, and thoughts on moderation.

Here's the deal. Two things happen when someone posts a submission like "hiring cam girls" or "hiring women to clean my house naked". One is a huge spike in traffic. The other is a flood of PMs, reports, and moderator messages from people who don't want to see that stuff in here.

Recruiters and hiring managers from legit companies don't want to be associated with this stuff.

Realistically, there have only been about five posts ever that fall into this category. Disallowing nsfw gigs will have no material impact on the volume of [hiring] posts.

I could have done a better job of communicating this, but it's in the best interest of the community.

Can I post a tech job opening at my adult website?

Of course, as long as it's a legit job.

Can I post a job that's essentially just me paying someone to do naked things with/for/to me?

No. Here's a rule of thumb: If you would post it in Craigslist's 'adult services' section, it's not appropriate for r/forhire.

But they took er jerbs!

We've had more [hiring] posts in the past two weeks than in any previous two weeks. By almost any measure, this subreddit is doing gangbusters and really helping some folks.

If you have any feedback at all, please feel free to share it in the comments here. This is your community, after all. I'll be around to repsond for a bit.
