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.

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 ;)

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.

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!

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

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.

Just disable the sigs on your work.

(i've got the same "problem"on my work) hehe

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.

Is there any way to turn off someone's sig, not all? (Without putting them on ignore).

Some sigs I'd rather not see.

ExactlY!

Damn. And adding the sig pic to IE's restricted sites doesn't work either. Guess it's back to ol' Webwasher...

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.

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.

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...
