A note about images posted on this site (EVERYONE READ) August 01, 2006, 02:11:53 PM I like looking at T&A as much as the next guy (probably even moreso, being single and all), but it's been brought to my attention that some inappropriate images have been posted in otherwise innocent threads, so it's time for a reminder (or, more accurately, a clarification of a rule). Some people visit this site from their workplace, and downloading inappropriate images could cost them their jobs (or at least land them in hot water). Just by opening a thread that contains a nearly-nudie pic. I'm not against posting of the pics, but people at work must have some sort of warning so they don't inadvertently download something nasty. For this reason I must ask that if you feel the need to post questionable pics, start a new thread and put NSFW (Not Safe For Work) in the title. DO NOT post these pics in otherwise "safe" threads, unless you started the thread and can edit the title to reflect the content. We don't want anyone getting in trouble here... Quote Selected

A note about images posted on this site (EVERYONE READ) Reply #3 – August 01, 2006, 06:05:29 PM I don't have a problem with *not* posting such images because I'm already used to dealing with the idiotic attitudes in society right now, where things like senseless violence are perfectly acceptable but the world will come to an end if we dare look at some exposed skin.. (even if the person in the pic isn't actually nude, as was apparently the case earlier) but I am of the school of thought that you go to work to *work*, not dick around on the Internet. If someone on here gets fired for looking at some exposed skin, it's their fault in my book.. not the fault of the guy who posted it.How about meeting somewhere in the middle and labelling the entire Lounge as NSFW by default?

They also do so with the understanding that everything that travels through the corporate computers can and will be viewed. Now, when somebody clicks on a thread in a forum that says "How do you prepare for a trip" for example, they should not have to worry that the thread contains inappropriate material. The IT guy at the person's work doesn't know whether the person actually looked at the pic, he only knows the pic was downloaded.I think it would be pretty shiznitty of an employer to fire somebody over something like that, but there are plenty of shiznitty employers out there. Something that would be more reasonable, though, is the employer blocking this site from their company's computers, and that wouldn't be fair. Neither would making the lounge "Adults only". This ain't consumptionjunction.com or rotten.com. Why block 99.9% of the lounge based on .1% of the content?Aside from the "work" thing, remember that we have several under-18 members here. We also have plenty of female members that appreciate a lady's bootie in their face about as much as we would appreciate nude pics of David Hasselhoff . While I don't consider it my duty to raise other people's children, I do realize that showing certain things to minors is illegal. I think just about everyone would agree that pornographic materials would not be appropriate anywhere on this site, so what is so unreasonable about expecting semi-pornographic materials to at least have a warning? I'm not about to require COPPA registration to save people from typing four letters.I'm not asking people to stop posting pics like that (hell, several of our smilies are questionable), and I'm not "punishing" or "scolding" anyone. I'm not "caving" to the whims of a few. I just happen to agree that people should have an indication of what a thread contains. I'm just asking that the pics like that be placed in their own threads, with appropriate warnings as to their contents.Hell, people have no problem placing "56k warning" in a topic that contains plenty of pics, so what is so hard about putting "NSFW" in a topic that contains semi-nude or even graphic pics?I think that every member of this board would agree that we do not over-moderate and that just about anything goes. Sometimes, though, rules must be enforced.The long and the short of it: It ain't a new rule, it ain't a particularly oppressive rule, and besides, I have the keys to the place, so :raspberryShame302: no problem. I know you weren't trying to cause trouble, and I know lots of people liked your pic (and even right-clicked and saved. It's a weakness. I know.). Feel free to post it again in its own thread, in fact :D Just don't forget the *NSFW* Quote Selected
