Thanks. But it wasn’t my idea. This has been solved in this way several times before. Off the top of my head, these topics come to mind: > [@Our solution for blurring NSFW content](https://meta.discourse.org/t/our-solution-for-blurring-nsfw-content/124584): > > At the Blender Artists forum we have a faily liberal content policy where we allow nudity and violence (up to a point). While most members are fine with this kind of content, there are of course audiences and situations where this is not suitable (for us mainly schools and children). And since we make heavy use of tiled galleries with the [Topic List Preview plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews/101646), we needed a way to make this kind of content opt-in and get it out of your face by default.

I wanted to give them the option to set a background for the forum. I could make different themes for this, but that is quite a bit of extra work. And while themes do have settings, these are for everybody and not specifically for a user. But there is a way to achieve user configurable settings for themes, and that is by “abusing” [user fields](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-and-configuring-custom-user-fields/113192).
