I think someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.  I think it is a huge leap from naked lady ascii to porn.  While not my cup of tea, it certainly isn't worth gathering the Amish and Anita Bryant and staging a protest.

It's real simple, if it bothers you that much, use the little "contact us" link on the left side of the page.  Instead of complaining about the lack of moderation, do something to help.  I've emailed them several times and always gotten a fairly quick and acceptable response.

It's sad none of you realized that people on this site look at it from WORK.  What the hell do you think his boss would say if he glanced over and saw that?  Probably wouldn't go over well.  And the typical "just use ignore" line doesn't work, since it's not like he knows when a post will be unsafe to look at.

You can tell him what to do, that he should help instead of complain, blah blah blah, but on the other hand is it REALLY that hard to put "WW", "NWS" or "NSFW" in the title?

Considering I'm viewing this site from work, I understand that.  However, no where in this post did he mention adding a WW, he simply complained.  We are trying to offer him suggestions that might get him faster results.

Thank you Andy.

That's all I'm getting at. There has been a proliferation of things such as this on this site as of late & drastic measures need to be taken now.

It may not seem like a big deal to you all, but clicking on that link very well can get someone fired.

Whether it's an almost naked woman on a treadmill, or naked ascii art, there is no place for it here without very specific & bold warning.

Every other forum that I belong to considers posing something like that without NWS tags to be a bannable offense.

I don't know of too many peoples jobs that allow them to browse the internet while at work anyway. I mean could'nt you be easily fired if your boss walked in and you're looking at a bowling site instead of doing the job you're getting paid to do? I personally did'nt see a need for a WW, but thats just me. It's not like a real photo.

Legend, you might want to make a poll in the misc. forum asking "who posts from work".  A lot of the posters here are adults, so how do you think they post before 5 or 6 PM?

No, Because most companies I know of have an acceptable use policy stating that internet usage is OK within reason. Accessing the internet on breaks/lunches/slow periods is ok as long as it's not done to excess.

HOWEVER, Most companies have a zero tolerance policy for pornographic or offensive material accessed over the internet. This means ANYTHING (including ascii art) offensive or pornographic is means for immediate dismissal.

And there's a difference between accidently clicking on something and purposely and willfully viewing pornography at work.  The original thread isn't even up any more so get over it already.

Everyone is missing the point, he's just saying, if you're going to post stuff like that, just put a NWS or WW or something.  It's not that hard and will save people from trying to explain to their boss why they are looking at porn or naked ASCII women.....

Thanks you. It's just a bunch of letters and numbers to make a suggestive illusion. However, I do agree he should have put NSFW or something like that in the title in case someone does freak out over it...

Andy, I know most adults here(including me) post from work. Thats what I'm saying...you're already taking the risk of getting written up or dismissed just by browsing the web on their time.

This is what I was responding to in the first place. You want the user banned over this? I think you overreacted. You act like someone pissed in your cornflakes this morning.

DanH,

No, at work, there is no difference. If the boss learns you have porn up on your company owned PC, you're gone, history. Zero tolerance means just that. Welcome to corporate America!
