If this were a UK based board, I'd hazard a guess it wouldn't be badged as "Here for the Nonce". Not unless it really was a board aimed at prison inmates who'd been convicted of child sex offences and who were being kept segregated from other prisoners for their own protection....
Just one of those quaint US / UK usage differences!

Which reminds me of the tale of one of our British female voices who, for family reasons, spent the early years of her secondary schooling in the US. Picture the scene in the Math(s) class when she asked if anyone had a Rubber she could borrow (what we call a rubber, you call an eraser!). As a round of tittering broke out in class, she sought to clarify the position by saying: "I'll give it back when I've used it.". Which didn't seem to help at all!
