Image censoring

[SpankMe]

I have coded an option in your User CP to censor avatars that contain nudity. This requires that members specify that their avatar contains nudity when they upload it.

I have done the same for image attachments. Instead of the thumbnail, you will see a censor icon that will link to the image if you still wish to view it.

I do this because I feel people should be free to express themselves.

This does NOT mean that you can post porn. Nudity only and preferably motorbike related if you feel it is related to the subject of the thread.

What will the guests see?

[SpankMe]

They'll be censored. This is a work in progress and will take a couple of weeks before it is fully completed.

I will be doing the same for image attachments soon. When it’s done, instead of the thumbnail, you will see a censor icon that will link to the image if you still wish to view it.

Thats a great idea, Not that I'm opposed to porn (i mean nudity) but being in the office with a female boss.....

Great idea, im glad you are attempting to address this matter with a win-win situation for all. Thanx

definatly, yays for you spank, why didnt i think of that?

[LB]

Thanks Spankme. I don't often look at the site at work as we're not supposed to view non-work-related sites, but some of the avatars made me feel uncomfortable. (not because I'm a prude, but because it was at work)

This option is now available for image attachments. When creating a new thread/post, after uploading images, hit Preview Post and you will see the censor checkbox next to each listed image.

If you know you have posted any images that may need to have the censor option checked for them, then please go to your User CP/attachments section to edit them and set the censor option. Thou I have a feeling that I am the only one that has posted nudy images.

Will this move lead to some knee-jerk reaction one day (seeing our government trends) that all image that does not contain nudity will be banned?

[mccool]

Well, I'm fed up with the avatar tits waving around all over the place so i welcome this move. I would be happy to see nudity banned altogether, except for nakid cickles. I mean, its not like theres a shortage on nudity on the internet...if thats what you want to look at. Onya Spankperson.

MSTRS, for the record, the NSW title was added AFTER I had my bitch, ok? I'm not so stupid as to have missed that...

Secondly, I admit that it is my problem that I haven't got the R rated system set up. But, I was relying on people's common sense to put NSFW in the title. With the R rated system, you have to actually open the picture before seeing what it is, where as how I have it now I can get a small preview which lets me decide whether I should bother (I'm on dial-up)

Whether or not I access KB at work is not really of any concern to you fellahs. I may do it during my lunch break, or after my day has finished so saying that it shouldn't be an issue is irrelevant. I don't even know what Bad Lieutenant is on about. Can you explain? I asked for them to put a NSFW warning in the title, so people at work, like I was, can see the warning and know not to open it. Make sense???

But mostly, Brian d'marge - I must admit to replying a little hastily. I don't accept that I made a "cock up" (as I didn't see the R rating, so it's not like I clicked anyway and got upset). Where I read KB, all of my work mates walk past me and can see the screen. Some are pretty nosy and take a look at what I'm reading now and then. Had they seen it, at the very least it would have been really embarassing. At worst I could have gotten into a fair bit of grief, since most employers are pretty strict on that rule. Oh, and our patients/clients can quite possibly see whats on the screen. So you can see why I was pretty annoyed, especially since it came up yesterday (the NSFW warning in titles).

So, you can see that I wasn't trying to imply you should keep your opinions to yourself, as you shouldn't. We want to hear what you have to say, so please keep it coming. MSTRS, thanks, but I don't need you to point that out to him on my behalf. I would have thought that by NOW most people know I'm not vindictive or supressive in my views.

So, apologies for the brash reply - another case of typing before thinking I guess?
Cheers.
Dave.

Let me clarify something I've just realised.
I didn't open the picture after having read the thread, I was browsing in new posts and saw the thread title "Thought for the day" and clicked that. Once that opened, at the end of the post I saw the previews (small pics you click to get the big ones) and THAT is what I was annoyed at. I know they're only small, but they are still pictures.

Is it too much to ask to put NSFW in the title Crash? If it it, then I guess I'll just have to put the R rated thingiemajig on, but I've been fine up until now with it off.

Meh, I actually don't really care anymore, it's been a whole working day since

As a suggestion should there be an 'adult' checkbox that you can select when posting a message that flags the whole post as adult rather than just the images.

It would mean that when people sign up and wish not to view adult content (or are a minor) they can select some option and not have those types of posts show up at all - that way people at work, younguns and easily offended people wont keep getting upset.

Basically a simple way of flagging content.

take a chill pill stoney I was suggesting that productive people shouldnt be accessing the net for personal use during work thus exsposing themselves to naughty pictures, otherwise they wouldnt call it "work".
Anyhoo, why the hell is this still a topic ?? move on, nothing to see here except some grumpy mid week people

[StoneChucker]

[sarcasm]Thanks for moving my posts[/sarcasm] hehe
BadLieutenant, chill pill taken, but that is still not much help. I do a number of things at work, checking the net in my spare time is one of them

I hope the thread starter of the other thread makes his way over here and reads my main reply. Don't want him to think I'm a complete loon
Anyway, it's another day now so like BL said, who cares
