Discussion: NSFW images in spoiler tags
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. |
You should be working at work....problem solved.

People are allowed breaks, no? And I generally eat lunch at my desk. That hour is mine. |

I make it a point to stay out of the picture thread completely while I'm at work....but still. |

Not an issue. Shouldn't work for Nazi's anyway.
The schnitzel smell is really bad. |

Most IT folks will look the other way at a few bikinis, but we've got outright porn on this site. |
I just set it to not show any images while at work so none of that crap preloads

It may be your lunch hour but you're still using company property. Use your phone for porn when you're at work dude, like the rest of us.

thats why smart phones should be used more often when at work to dodge all the nsfw all together. If you don't have one I really recommend getting one.

I am glad you started this thread!!
Because Im sick of you bitching about it in all the others. I think its fine, if you shouldnt be doing it at work, then dont. |
I have all avatars, images and signatures turned off at work. Wish there was a way to have multiple settings based on location so I didn't need to change everything everyday.
|
Sorry spoilers is enough. Just don't click on spoilers when you are at work. Or alter your personal board settings.

I stay out of the pictures thread at work, period. Even some of the sigs, including mine, might be considered borderline NSFW. best policy, work while at work.

And when I GET HOME to peruse Chiefs Planet, I love the idea that I might get to see a cootchie or tit shot in any and all threads! |

"PLEASE CHANGE BOARD POLICY FOR ME BECAUSE I AM A SLACKER"
|
Simple solution... don't look at porn or naughty pics at work.
Spoiler!

I'm actually interested in this discussion as well. It's come up from time to time among the mods, but I'm not sure we've even come up with a firm rule about it.
My general feeling is that NSFW images should be linked only and that the spoiler tag isn't a sufficient method of masking it, but I'm open to thinking about it differently. |

But, I'd have no issue if they banned it. |

What I would really love is the ability to set a thread on ignore without actually having to go into it first.

How about people like me that are on the road often and like to browse CP? Do i need to start bringing another laptop with me just so i can read CP? My company has no problem with using the work computer for personal use as long as it is SFW.
|
This is why we can't have nice things
Spoiler!
|
My boss already figures that I look at midget porn, so a few naughty pics in my cache is like a non-issue for me.

If someone were to post a NSFW link (perfectly within the rules) your IT could still catch that, figure out what it is, and you would be in trouble. Also don't forget that every letter of text in the forum loads into your browser as well, so when people like me say **** you, you ****ing **** over and over again every ****ing day, that shows up too. Quite honestly, if you're afraid your work is monitoring you, you probably shouldn't be on here AT ALL. |

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. |

Putting stuff like that in spoiler tags seems very similar to filter evasion to me. Links are one thing, embedding photos, even if they're hidden, is probably a line we shouldn't be crossing on here.

I think somebody needs to define "not safe for work".
Our corporate proxy does not allow us to download pictures of beer, for example. For the longest time, my AVATAR (a bottle of Das Echte Schwaben Brau) was technically NOT SAFE FOR WORK. 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. |

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.) |

So you're telling me that I should be looking at NSFW spoilers because my tech people think I'm looking at it anyway?
Well OK Then... |

I can totally understand not wanting to have pics with graphic nudity stuck in the cache of your work PC, possibly without you even knowing it. I think we need to differentiate between things like nude pictures and pictures with the word **** in them. That's just me. |
