jhulud Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hey guys and gals... It's kinda silly to be having to say this but it needs to be reminded. If and when you feel the need to post a picture or thread that can be deemed or seen as graphic or vulgar, please make sure that you put NSFW (Not Safe For Work) in the thread title. A large amount of fellow VCers browse the boards from their workplace and it can be a risk for them if they happen to be reading a thread with graphic pics and no warning. I received a message from a VCer that this happened to just today: "We’ve had a bunch of people posting insanely NSFW pictures in the forum and I got tagged at work today as trying to view a pornographic website for checking the forum during work today because a thread linked to a picture of a guys cock tattooed with a dragon on it. Can we get a rule that people can’t post NSFW pictures without announcing them in the thread title? There are a lot of people like myself who post from work and it would suck if we couldn’t keep up on pre-orders during the day because of this..." For the most part, the "NSFW" tag has been done on thread titles whenever applicable...esp. on the more lengthy threads we've had like the "Manly Man" one. But there are a few that fall through the cracks and sure enough...someone will be unlucky enough to be browsing that thread, and then their boss walks by. As usual...please abide by the posting guideline and be courteous to your fellow VCers. We're all grown-ups around here. Hopefully. ----------------------------------------------- 11/19 update: Taking a cue from another board I frequent, this is a pertinent guideline: If you register a username with the sole intention of abusing our forum then your username and your posts will be deleted. VC is a forum that many band members, labels, and vinyl enthusiasts/fans frequent. They are here to communicate with friends and peers, and most of all, have fun. Please be respectful of them or you will be deleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 soooo....the thread starter needs to read the poster's mind????? 99% of the time the person who started the thread is not the one making it nsfw. this is a moderator problem. mods should edit the thread titles when they see a nsfw pic. or you should just disable images while browsing at work.

casey Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thank you, Juan. Also, how about this: if you feel the need to post a NSFW pic in a thread that you did not create (and thus cannot change the thread title) put NSFW at the beginning of your post and then hit enter a bunch of times so people would have to scroll to get to the picture.

jhulud Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Flicker...to answer your concern...(I can only speak for myself)...I've been on the lookout for NSFW threads and making them so in the thread title. I can't be prowling the boards 24/7 dude. If something gets missed by us mods...hell, man...there's always the handy PM button... The 'NSFW' tag obviously mostly applies to images...ya know? And I agree...disabling images also helps and works. But not everyone does that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 but they should.......if theyre at work.......... its all about taking it into your own hands or being able to blame someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 but they should.......if theyre at work..........its all about taking it into your own hands or being able to blame someone else. Seriously, NSFW images are probably like 2% of all the images here. Most are jokes or references that are 100% fine. Why would you basically eliminate most of the interactions for such a small percentage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dante was saying turning off images is stupid if only 2% of the shit is nsfw. I think he's saying it should be a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konk Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The pre-order argument doesn't really work for this because NSFW pictures aren't really being posted in the VC Board. You need to do work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 i've had this happen to me at work before. it isn't that its just on the VC board, the whole vinyl collective board is tagged as being porno riffic. I've thankfully got a work around but it is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 FYI as a network administrator there are two ways you can get in trouble w/ NSFW stuff. 1) The obvious one of a co-worker / manager seeing something on your screen that will get you in trouble. 2) If someone links an image to an adult website that shows up in the firewall logs and I see it and I report you. So even if you enter down a bunch of times after NSFW the image has already been loaded and your IT department could flag it and inform your manager or something. There are a few steps you can take to helping protect yourself while surfing the Internet at work. If you have the ability to install Firefox here are a few extensions I would install to keep you on the safer side of things: a) Ad-Block Plus Flashblock -- disables all Flash based items. You press the item to activate it again c) NoScript -- this is a little intense, but it blocks all types of scripts (ie java) from running w/out your consent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 It seems fitting that just today we got a communication from upper management at work in regards to internet/intranet browsing and usage. It was a broad discussion but there was mention of interactive sites (blogging & instant messaging) and sites w/ graphic content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew13 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 if you're using this at work "to keep up with preorders" then you shouldn't be on the etc board anyways. this board is a time waster. do your job or find another site to waste time on, don't bitch when someone posts something graphic and you're dicking off on here. vinyl addict 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 again, and this goes to reading comprehension so read slow, the whole board has been tagged by my works firewall, not just the etc board. It's obviously like that for other people as well or Juan wouldn't have been emailed about it. There are times you can check the board at work (some grown up jobs have lunch hours!) and it isn't just dicking around. No dick joke is funny enough that it doesn't need NSFW tagging.

Are other Proboards blocked? Our web filter gives me the option to block every message board right off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokithelion Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Nope. For some reason it says "This message board is blocked - Pornographic content" I got a awesome little email about it once. the Tennessee gov was not stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
