This system is now setting nsfw flags in an automated fashion, specifically seeking out content that the persons involved wouldn't want others to see. Clearly a forum is the wrong place for that content, but people don't always make good decisions (especially kids; I was a kid on forums too and would be very surprised if nothing ever transpired there). The receiving person can already flag anything they deem inappropriate. A system making automated decisions about messages that were intended to be private creates problems and it is not clear to me who this serves
