What we expect from a member website
What do you mean by SFW?

SFW stands for Save For Work and if your site fits into this category, you can easily measure as follows:

Imagine, maybe it even is, you have a three year old daughter and her perfect world consists of elves, princesses, princes and rainbow farting unicorns. The worst thing that could happen in this world would be if the princess broke one of her nails.

Would you want to put her through the content of the website? If so, it’s definitely SFW 😉

How to change badge size

Below you see some HTML and Markdown solutions for changing the size of the badge.

HTML solution:

To proportionally change the badge size you either add the width or height parameter to the HTML snippet. The browser will automatically calculate the size of the other edge.

Example using the “height” parameter:

<a href="https://no-js.club"><img src="https://no-js.club/images/no-JS.club_badge_bright.svg" height="120px" /></a>

Example using the “width” parameter:

<a href="https://no-js.club"><img src="https://no-js.club/images/no-JS.club_badge_dark.svg" width="200px" /></a>

Markdown solution:

Download the badge of your choice and open it with a text editor.

Line two contains the dimensions, which can be adjusted to your liking.

<svg width="152.43" height="30.054"

Upload the updated badge file to you web space and change the Markdown integration snippet respectively.

Will membership cost me anything? Good you asked! While you were reading through the FAQ, I was thinking about how to gently teach you that membership won’t bankrupt you but, aside from the hassle of submitting an application by ticket and waiting for it to be approved, absolutely doesn’t cost a dime!

Member list update interval

In addition to the updates triggered by the membership application, member web pages will be reviewed at irregular intervals to keep data up-to-date.

The following information will be checked:

If such a check reveals that JavaScript is being used in the meantime, the site operator is informed via a comment within the ticket issued by the website operator regarding admission to the no-JS Club and has eight calendar days from the date of sending to rectify this problem.

In case JavaScript continues to be used after this period, the corresponding domain will be banned from the member list and the website operator will be informed via comment in the above mentioned ticket; upon notification of the deletion, the right to use any of the badges will immediately expire.

Inadmissible contents
Rights we reserve

Once a website has been banned from our member list, the website owner will be notified and the right to use our badges will expire

The aforementioned notification is made via a comment within the ticket issued by the website operator regarding admission to the no-JS Club; example ticket

If the website was migrated from the previous noJS club membership, notification via ticket is not possible. For this reason, the club member’s website is searched for an email address, if this does not lead to a positive result, the website is deleted WITHOUT prior notification.


The no-JS Club was created by Frank Homburg and is the successor to Karan Goel's now archived project, The noJS Club. Now maintained by shruub.
