Discussion: NSFW images in spoiler tags

[Fire Me Boy!]

Can we take a moment to seriously discuss posting NSFW and full nude images inside spoiler tags? I'm not talking about NSFW images in a thread clearly marked NSFW like the porn gif thread, but NSFW images popping up in threads like today's Tiffani Thiessen thread (just an example since it's fresh on my mind and is not marked NSFW).

Let's forget for a moment that posting pictures showing genitalia and nipples in general is against board policy and focus merely on the spoiler tags.

While the spoiler tags DO hide the image from view for someone walking by, they do nothing for someone whose IS folks at work peek behind the scenes. Spoiler tags only hide the image from view; the image still loads on the machine and its cache.

Am I the only person bothered by this? If I am, I'll shut up. But this is really becoming such a rampant practice, it makes me hesitant to peruse Chiefsplanet at work, even threads that should be safe to go in.

I always enforce it. I don't see any links or reported threads. Apparently I haven't been into the thread in question.

Seriously?

Again, if your company is THAT uptight that an embedded graphic that you didn't even click on could be a potential problem for you, DON'T SURF CHIEFSPLANET WITH A COMPANY COMPUTER.

Quite frankly, if you work for a Fortune 500 publicly-traded company, surfing the Planet - SFW or not - is against company policy.

True enough. That said, a lot of IT departments will let bikini pics slide... throw in some full nudity and you've crossed a line.

Is Sorter's use of the spoiler tags earlier in this thread filter evasion?

Here's a thought, with the caveat that I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK.

I found another site out there in the world that has a NSFW tag. According to the description, it doesn't load the image until after the person clicks the link. This would also make sure that it's clear that this isn't a spoiler and is truly a way of masking the image.

Is that something that those against the spoiler route would be OK with?

(Other mods feel free to chime in on this as well, either publicly or privately.)

I really don't see the big deal if they warn with NSFW for the spoiler tag? Simple don't click on the NSFW spoiler at work.

Once again.....you didn't pay attention....did you?

[unnecessary drama]

my work has free wifi so I just bring my laptop with me and surf whatever the **** I want under a fake name and keep everything on the work computer right next to me work related! Must be nice, I know =)

That would be an awesome fix.....if possible.

If you don't realize it then take it from me and htismage. Your work computer caches EVERYTHING on this website. If your company has a strict internet use policy, best to wait till your off work or on your smartphone to visit the site.

Couldn't.

I think that is a fair compromise.

As long as it doesn't load the image (does more than just mask it), I think that would be fine.
