This is really a good question. I would say yes because even if you never use those toggles, the avatar is still considered NSFW. in the contrary, everyone could be free to tag or not depending on “how often” they use such content, which would become totally subjective and inaccurate.

> As part of our [Content Gating](https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/content-gating)[image] effort, we will be adding a new report type for worlds and avatars: **Missing Content Warnings**.
that’s good to do that report when people is missing something is not good in those avatars needs to put warnings too violence or something else 👍

I would say that how you actually remove/disable content doesn’t matter as long as you don’t have the possibility to become NSFW in game

I hope that there is not too much censorship in content or age, otherwise we may encounter more problems.
In VRchat Asia, I know that underage or immature users are not the minority, but in some environments, certain ‘regional’ organizations have too much power to censor games, leading to certain news stories.
While most users may have their own accounts, there are cases where multiple people use the same account.
Of course, it is not a wish not to do it, but it is possible to reduce the burden on the program and do it much less, because there are too many problems in reality.
If someone tries to break the age barrier or help achieve it, more problems will arise.

The issue, and the reason why, for instance, i use this avenue, is because it’s one of the few places that will actually get seen. As much as it’s claimed that the canny is seen, endless swathes of very important canny posts get buried or ignored, or not correctly emphasized due to lack of accessibility of the canny platform (ppl don’t see it, ppl don’t vote_though sometimes hundreds of votes isn’t enough either_).
I have been bringing up performance because it’s always an ongoing development, but is _ **inexorably** _ important and not given the all-hands-on-deck focus it absolutely requires, and not in the _“we fix some systems here and there”_ sense, but in the _“we re-designed entire systems and rethought our creator pipeline to make them run better”_. …This is happening with Udon2, but needs to happen with avatars as well, and UI and everything else.
I apologize for involvement, and had no intention of having it get out of proportion with long posts, i originally only had a couple key points to make and that was it — this forum doesn’t have a branching topic system, and other threads outside of these ones are barely seen by anybody, making them not very useful.
There is not enough public engagement with the staff overall; please consider improving this. (chatting with a few who have connections ingame doesn’t count)

hello, do you plan to introduce the Russian language, since the community of Russian-speaking players is very huge, at least machine translation, it will greatly simplify navigation

If they’re never used, why do you have them?
You should tag the avatar.

No. The tag pertains to the content. Hence, “Content Warning”, not “How I Think I’ll Use This Warning” system. 😛
> [@Snowy](#):
>
> If that’s the case, I would like to know how far this goes. Because most base models are NSFW and usually remain that way unless the creator of the actual avatar does manual edits to the textures and/or meshes.
If the content contains things where you think any of the Content Warnings as described in the [Creator Guidelines](https://hello.vrchat.com/creator-guidelines) might apply, put the tags on them. Better safe than sorry.
“NSFW” is not a term used in any Content Warning category, notably.

I struggle to locate **any** development studio of our size that communicates even remotely as much or as personally with our users as we do, but I’ll take your request to heart.

Hope the in-game UI gets a bit of love too, could definitely use some responsive design where everything flowed better with the size/aspect ratio of the screen instead of being forced into the set size it is now. Having a wider phone makes the tabs along the bottoms of the menus really tiny.

How about adding a Content warning for epileptic people. I kinda miss that when I create worlds. It’s also very common that People have to add warnings like these in their world. But it would be nice if people with epilepsy would get a warning before they are able to join a world.

I hope soon enough there will be an update on NSFW. But specifically the protection of Minors. With all the drama on twitter recently and many people getting exposed VRChat devs need to put better policies, reporting and protection in for Minors.

Also, the ever hilarious and nonsensical statement provided by Strasz on why there likely won’t be a clock:

Especially useful for portals, if it could be integrated in some way.

What about natively supporting Face tracking for the Quest Pro on PCVR? I know Eye tracking is but kinda hoped Face tracking would be as well.

I would, but I ran into this issue [Canny](https://feedback.vrchat.com/open-beta/p/1342-avatar-scale) within the first day of me doing so, seeing your friend at an entirety different size does cause some issues.
I do hope that issue hasn’t been “waved off as a one-off oddity” as no mention of a fix has appeared in the multiple open betas released since this issue was reported

And to further on from that this game is starting to become a breeding ground for groomers and predators. Ive seen so many people on twitter called out for it lately. Even had my own friends get caught, they need to gate sexual content and have some sort of age verification.

Is predownload back? I am aware of open-beta but the if I am in a world with a lot of people the world music is distorted and doesn’t happen in normal version. My internet is bad and when I join a world sometimes it sends me back to home world multiple times until I can join, so preloading would really help me.

So with the switch to not using semver even though it is masking itself as semver (still very frustrating), does that mean we should be using a dependency requirement that doesnt allow MINOR to increment now? so something like ~3.4.FEATURE instead of ^3.4.0?

Sidenote, still annoying that you arent following semver here properly just because it looks nicer, this point is literally covered in the semver docs
