dim Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Hey all.. I just wanted to bring up a quick thing. I would be visiting neowin.net board a lot more, especially when I'm at work if it wasn't for all the nude girl and other crazy pics that pop up while reading a thread. Don't get me wrong, I think most of them are cool, when I'm at home and my boss isn't walking back and forth behind me all day. I do visit neowin.net though, read all the news, etc.. But I?ve stopped reading the forum when I'm at work. Although I'd like to. Anyone else feel it would be a good idea to have girl pics restricted to some specific forum? And please no flames, I just want to see if this makes sense to anyone or if anyone thinks it would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Otto Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 it depends on the pix, if they are big nude photos then its up to the admins to do something...although i havent seen a lot of NUDE photos... EDIT:> and there is on porno allowed on neowin ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzla Veteran Posted April 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 13, 2002 This discussion was brought up before and it was decided that some sigs could do with some toning down (mine included :D ). How about when you are at work, simply turn sigs off, that way you don't have to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTUsEr Veteran Posted April 13, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 13, 2002 If the sig doesn't show anything pornographic then i think its fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prasanth Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 girl pics for sure but no nude ones;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariusu Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 i've never seen nude pics in the sigs from users here...you probably mean half-naked girls! but i would recommend you to turn the sigs off in the users cp, and the problems with the boss will dissapear!

dim Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 That's a good point to turn off sigs Dazzla.. but even if the girls aren't nude, I still wouldn't be able to have them up on my screen.. That doesn't mean everyone has to take them off, it just means some of us wouldn't feel comfortable reading all the threads.. The Avatars pics have girls in them ( I especially like the dancing ones ;) ), but it doesn't look good in an office.. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neowin_hipster Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 remember the good old days with the babes forum. It was cool until ppl like concerned dad came down on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortensen Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 remember the good old days with the babes forum. It was cool until ppl like concerned dad came down on us. Yeah, but it was getting out of hand. It's far better without pr0n and I've already complained about pr0n/dubious content in signatures. I think it's best to keep it clean, not for young kids but it just makes it more pleasant to view the forums. I don't like other people looking over my shoulder [WHOEVER it is] seeing nude/half nude women... or worse, men.... it's just best clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eth3l Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I think its great. I also think there should be a smaller size limitation to the signatures. Some of these HUGE sigs are crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intelligen Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Do you mean half naked girls? like the top half of a girl without breasts showing should be allowed. Something like my own sig and most others should be allowed but when you start seeing other stuff admins should step in because that is porno. But if you can't handle girls that are just being shown with top half with an idea of no clothes maybe you should just turn off viewing of sigs.

hurting101 Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Is there any way to turn off someone's sig, not all? (Without putting them on ignore). Some sigs I'd rather not see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misecia Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 i don't mind, i turn off my signatures in my posts anyway :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neowin_hipster Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 I agree against pr0n but i do miss the babes forum. Oh well. I understand that ppl at work can't see unapropriate pics in the sigs, so turn sigs off in user cp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botiemaster Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 dude not that i'm your father or anything, but you shouldn't be coming here during work in the first place. It's not healthy if you can't keep yourself from coming here until you get home. Your life comes first. The internet second. Don't allow it to lead your life.

Big Booger Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 This is one issue that gets to me.. I mean we all are naked.... Without clothes we are naked. You are dominated by the mores of your society... In one society showing cleavage might get you killed while in another society, letting those puppies hang are a natural way of life... I agree, that hardcore pornography is by and large inappropriate for this site, but some soft porn, in certain cases, should be allowed. EXample, User wants to post a poll in general forum about titties... Whose ###### are the best... etc... (I hope ###### is not a curse word where you are from, if so sorry) I think having a few pics of cleavage shouldn't bum too many people out... Provided there is a warning in the thread title, example TITTIES SHOWN here, if you are underage or offended by this, please dont come.... Or something to that effect... It doesnt bother me at all.. either way... But I just like to make the point that what is offensive to some is not to others... Maybe you should use several polls to see what the users think... about hardcore, softcore, minor nudity (butts, chests, etc...) One other thing, there is a very big difference between PORN and Nudity.. AFAIK... Nudity is without clothes, while porn is the displaying of acts of sexual behavior ??? Pornographic material "must be limited to works which, taken as a whole, appeal to the purient interest in sex, which portray sexual conduct in a patently offensive way, and which...do not have serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." Miller v. California, 413 U.S. 15, 24 (1973) NUDITY WEBSTER'S DEFINITION: n. The state of being naked or bare. MOVIE DEFINITION: n. A useful gimmick for causing contoversy and/or pulling in box office and video dollars. Thanks BB Either way.. I care not. Just wanted to voice a small opinion. This is not my board, and I cannot dictate to anyone what the rules are or are not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
