Can we remember to mark threads NSFW please!

[rcutler]

I have to agree with Piglet here as my boss does not mind me reading CA during work time, however if he were to see NSFW images I fear that I will no longer have access to it at work.
My bosses office is right behind me so he can usually see what is on my screen even if i did not intend the image to be there in the first place.

I have avoided youtube threads and picture association for these reasons.

It is not a "Nanny State" IMHO it is mearly making people aware. Or do we need to send off proof of age to obtain membership?

Am I glad I've got a better office, with a blind wall behind me, and the dooropening in the wall I'm facing.

dont know why I am responding to this, never the less I am because I abhor such posts.

I do not care who can and who cannot view this website at work ,or in any other environment, either clandestine or in full view of their respective employer.

I do not expect any member to dictate what is posted or what is not. That is the 'job' of the moderators. They will duly advise or otherwise (delete/edit etc) if applicable.

If you work for a company or organisation (and using your contract employers equipment and so on and so forth), you can probably be sacked on the spot for surfing the internet in any case - unless it is specifically in relation to your supposed gainful employment.

Anyhoooo - I dont think we need telling what to do on this forum.

I'm in the happy position of being able to surf at home but I take Piglet's point.  Lisa, I don't think anybody suggested for a moment that the offending (if such it was) pic' be deleted - simply that it be flagged up in some way.  It doesn't seem all that unreasonable to me.  Maybe we could have an NSFW icon to put alongside posts which may offend some?  Clearly surfing the internet at work is not the issue for Piglet, Rick et al, just the content.  I can see that if a client/boss walked by when the pic' was displayed it could be embarassing at the least.  It's hardly censorship which is being requested, after all, just a heads-up.  If the mods get involved then they would have to delete the pic' as this would be their only option in the circs - more draconian than is necessary.  Surely flagging these things up is the compromise route?

I don't think you've read my post?   

It's not about the imagines, it's about having a warning on threads that contain what might be described as "inappropriate" so that those of us who work surf and perhaps those with kids around them know to read these at an appropriate time.

We always used to mark threads NSFW and it would be handy if that could happen again.

My employer, like many, has a pretty relaxed attitude to employees websurfing but not employees web surfing porn and if my boss walks past and theres a nude female on my screen my web usage is going to get looked at.

I love the way things like this always turn into accusing those who mention it of being anti-porn and pro-censorship      You can accuse me of that if you like but you'd be very very wrong 

[Catchpole]

i really don't understand all this Mrs Mop stuff that is being written on here.  Couple of quick points, Piglet appears to be objecting to a photograph of a naked female, beautifully shot, but is not offended to have a semi naked person dressed in what can only be described as a sexual deviant cuddling her in public and have these shots on this web site and seemingly no objections raised.

This seems to be a bit hypocritical to me.

with regard to photos of naked women, I'll offer this observation that some of the more extreme porn photos have been put on this forum by the moderators, in one case an offending shot was removed by one moderator only to have a request from the other for a copy of the shot for his personal collection.

At this rate we'll have to have a whole code book of symbols to alert individual members about the subject matter, just in case it may offend someone at sometime.

[termietermite]

I've looked back and can't see that Piglet ever objected to the picture at all, per se.  I probably missed something...

[Catchpole]

Debs, don't be tiresome, the objection is about about a photograph and can the forum put a comment on so Piglet knows not to open it at work.  I'm not even going along the route of surfing the web at work.

"For reasons I don't entirely understand the Morgan Aero8 thread in "Help" has a particularly large picture of a female on it that I didn't really appreciate flashing up on my screen at work". Quote from Piglet, that seems to be a direct objection to a specific image.


Never known to happen on here before, which is something else that Piglet may or may not have written.

[termietermite]

If it were universally stopped, the posting rate on here would drop, that's for sure!

[Piglet]

As I said, I love the way it always becomes pro or anti porn    So stereotypical  

Catchpole, for your information, although it's too much detail really, I like porn, and given that I'm married to a dyslexic photographer the majority of what I see is photographic (cue raid by the obscene publications folk  )     We could play "who's got the biggest porn collection" but I'm not sure that's helpful?  

As I said in my first post, I don't object to the images, I just don't want to come across them whilst I'm at work on threads where there is no warning and I don't think that's an unreasonable request and I don't understand what is so difficult about it?

Only because you have chosen to make it such, why is it the forum didn't get this request when the shots of you and the gimp were screened?  Surely the appropriate time was then?

Simple answer, don't look at work

[Piglet]

On the subject of web surfing, most employers allow a reasonable amount of and trust their employees to do their job.  Given that I have a role that requires me to log chargeable time, I have daily targets to meet and I stay here until I have met them!  

Many of us work long hours and surf in short bursts in gaps without causing harm to our employers!

[termietermite]

All "who said what and when and to whom" discussions aside, if one changes the title of a thread mid-way, how does it come up on the board anyway?  What I mean is, if M. Catchpole had added NSFW when he replied, would it have shown up or would the o/p have to have changed it?

I'll experiment...

I can't see any point in continuing this if you're going to get personal.   Shame really, I can't see that it's necessary and why the subject can't be debated in a mature manner  

[termietermite]

No.  Clearly the warning bells wouldn't have sounded until you opened the thread anyway so the whole discussion is moot, unless it's the first poster who posts any possibly "offensive" material.
