Gee thanks, Dad.

Also, by putting NSFW in the thread title, you are drawing attention to it. It's better to put NSFW in the initial post itself, before the content, just like i did in that post.


This is just stupid - if a thread is NSFW, it should say so IN THE TITLE. By the time somebody clicks on a thread, and loads all adult content/images, there is NO way an employer could know that those images were not viewed on purpose. Not to mention making it easier for people to avoid offensive content altogether.

alongwaltz: actually, I'm mostly concerned that it makes obner more likely to get flagged by content-banning and -monitoring software, but it's possible that it makes us a target for spam, too. i haven't looked into that.

the obvious answer to dalen is that you can't possibly think there is a need to discuss porn here, and i don't really value your convenience in having a single forum for all of your interests that highly against someone who would come to obner for music but is deterred by porn threads.

ayah: you're right, as was billz in the other thread, and maybe i was too hard on Darrin. I'm certainly open to the suggestion that moderation should be tighter, if that's what people want.

Well, I guess it boils down to a question of whether the board as a whole gives a flying fuck if the one of the most remarkable facets of your life is your your thirst for pornography.

you're dumber than i expected.

if you are going to post NSFW content, simply put NSFW in the post, hit return 20 or so times so people have to scroll down, and you're safe.

if you're an idiot and you scroll without reading the post, well that's your problem.

My only problem with that post is it's too large to fit on a bumpersticker.

you completely missed mutty's point. when you click the thread, the images load in your cache whether or not they are displayed on your screen or not, meaning that you've downloaded porn to your (possibly work-owned) computer without knowing what you were in for.

Banning porn = banning Dalen?

I dunno, r - I'm pretty sure Dalen has a lot more to offer the board than porn links.

but then we get into you having to decide the meaning of porn and all that. how about we ban images of genitals? it's a little more specific.



Yes, and what about Bea Arthur nude in a painting?

How many votes does the poll need before the decision is official?
