My piece, "It's Only a Story" earning a NSFW tag from a mod may have been one of the proudest moments in my career on this site. However, it has made me curious.

Just what does a story need to do to get a Not Safe for Work tag? I've read plenty of stories that have violence and death in them that don't earn that tag. Using IJAS as an example, was it the fact a character got stripped naked and suffered through an amateur masectomy? Was it just too depraved of violence? What defines that borderline? Just curious.
