Came up with an idea for "auto ignore" feature for blocking NSFW accounts in DMs. Please provide your thoughts.

Hello everyone

So, as mods, I believe we all know the headache of these NSFW accounts and spam bots targeting our community members. A user joins a popular subreddit, makes a post, and within minutes, an NSFW account slides into their DMs or chat requests. mostly giving creep and pedo behaviour. This issue has been faced by a lot of people, especially by female users. We get complaints from users daily. How many will we block? Why lose the mental peace over these weirdos?

While this happens in private spaces, users often blame the subreddit or turn to ModMail out of frustration, cause who else will they turn to?
After consulting many fellow and senior mods, I came to the conclusion that Reddit doesn't have any native feature for ignoring specifically NSFW DMs.
You can either turn off your DMs permanently or do so for accounts younger than 30 days. However, it doesn't solve the issue totally. People who have turned off their DMs totally also can't receive normal DMs.

The Plan

So I came up with an idea that, like we already have a feature for "who can send us chat requests" why don't we add another similar section for NSFW accounts? AI and Hive Protector already have the capabilities of identifying such accounts. People should have an option for turning off requests from specifically NSFW accounts as well, this feature when enabled, will auto-ignore any kind of DMs received by a member from an NSFW profile. Thus, the user doesn't have to again and again stress himself/herself from those weird DMs.

For people thinking that new accounts also get flagged as NSFW, it can be removed if you have not participated in any NSFW sub. We all have the means to identify and stop NSFW content in our feed and for our own account, so why not for the DMs as well?

I feel this works because this will create a better environment for women, men and very importantly, teens, providing a safer environment for them on Reddit.

What are your thoughts on this? Also, please add any suggestions if you would like to do so.

EDIT: Well, as NSFW doesn't specifically mean adult content, so we need bots to identify activity in adult content subs, that would work just fine as well.

May 8, 1902, the Mount Pelée volcano on the island of Martinique erupted. In less than two minutes, the "Paris of the Caribbean"—the city of Saint-Pierre—was completely erased. Out of 30,000 residents, only one man in the direct path of the blast survived: a prisoner named Ludger Sylbaris.

First two pictures show the eruption. 3rd picture shows the cell where Ludger survived.

Many people are arguing the fact that it teens should engage in politics, get updated about the events and stuff. Okay, I agree. But you gotta understand there are many members who are not into politics. We don't judge on that. It's totally their choice. And also the posts are now too repetitive. We don't want repetitive POVs on same topics. If there is a new major Event which needs to be known. It will be updated and allowed. Don't forget, IT cell guys are also posting random shit and whitewashing each's​ own parties.

So that's final.

No repetitive posts. New events will be allowed.

Stop brainwashing and manipulating people.

Located near Karjat in Maharashtra, the Kondana Caves are usually dated to the 2nd century BCE. They mark an early stage in western India’s rock-cut architecture. Archaeological and stylistic research places them among early Buddhist monastic complexes that grew along trade routes linking the Deccan plateau with coastal ports.

The site includes a chaitya hall, also called a prayer hall, along with several viharas, or monastic cells. The chaitya has a horseshoe-shaped arch on its façade, and it holds an interior stupa. The overall design matches other early Buddhist cave sites like Bhaja and Bedsa. The construction details also point to a shift from timber to stone, with ribbed ceilings that copy wooden beams. The façade even reflects joinery patterns that were first done in wood. These features do more than decorate the space, because they carry a known building language into a tougher material.

Over time, weathering and partial collapses have damaged parts of the caves. Still, the carvings that remain show early sculptural work. The relief panels and façade ornamentation are fairly restrained when compared with later cave complexes. That restraint fits an early phase of Buddhist rock-cut architecture, where the layout mattered more than detailed iconography.

The Kondana Caves are important because they show a transition in Indian architecture. Builders took ideas and techniques that originally belonged to perishable materials and reworked them in stone. Their location near historic trade routes also suggests these monastic sites were tied to larger systems of travel, patronage, and trade in the early historic period.
