On the gay content note, using advanced search would allow anyone not wanting that content to remove it from results.

As for browsing a new game, seeing a gay image and being disgusted, when the page loads at the very top long before screen shots is a list of tags. It only takes a moment to look at them and see the "gay" tag.

If a person continues scrolling down without looking at those tags, there is a second tag box and again it's before the screen shots.

The site's layout give everyone alot of warning about the content before they can stumble on the screenshots. So if people don't take the time to use the sites features it's kind of on them.
On the no sexual content side, people can use advanced search to exclude "no sexual content" games from their results.
If it "spam" is that bad then taking a moment to use the search function would be alot quicker than scrolling through the games. It would be good to remember though, that if someone took the time to upload a game with
"no sexual content" and then create a thread here then the chances are that there is at least some interest in that game and those people also have the right to have their requests / interests filled.
hope this helps
Thanks for the heads up. Well, when I search for games, I click on latest updates. There's a game name, then I hover the mouse to check picks before entering. Well... Some gay games does have gay pictures. And there are some images that I'd rather not have seen.
Your solution approach would only take more navigation time. It also would remove some UI important features for decision makings, such as the number of stars, number of views, and the overall showcase of the game from the pictures, without having to enter said thread, just in a glance. It's very practical.
Edit: Btw, if you think about it, the sole reason why anybody would complain about the current system is because he's wanting to save time.
Therefore a solution that leads to spending more time doesn't solve the problem, only aggravates it.
Unless I am missing something, the latest updates, I can only select the tags that I want to see, but not remove unwanted tags.
I can include the gameplay genres, the architect (game/comic/animations), engine and time limit, but not remove.
Besides even if we did had the option to remove tags (which would still be handy), it would simply add macro time wasted every time anybody wanted to search for something.
If however gay games had their own forum, then the problem would be solved completely. People looking for gay games would find them with the exact amount of time spent but would have an exclusive selection of only gay games, therefore they would have a bigger pool to choose from without games from genres that they aren't looking for. Meaning a more cleaning experience.
Straight users won't have to deal with gay games that does spam the list, nor run on unwanted pictures.
As for non porn games. I never said they need to be excluded, I said they could use their own subforum category.
Just as the gay subforum example, but for nonporn games.
Likewise, the searching experience would be cleaner and faster to anyone looking for for non porn game. Also google and typing the name of the game would also direct to the correct thread, therefore it would have absolutely no problem to find a game, to who is already seeking for it, however, it would save slots (which could be otherwise called as spam) from who doesn't seek for this kind of games.
I don't really see how making a subforum to solve these problems would by any mean be harmful to those groups of people, quite the contrary, would make it easier for them to find what they're looking for, while also offering a more clean navigation experience as a whole.
