warnings for adult images?

Hey guys, could we alert people if threads contain adult images? People who view the forums at work might want to be more discreet. Right now it seems like a free-for-all, so you never know when you'll scroll down and see something x-rated. Anybody agree?

Good idea. I'll add a NSFW ("not safe for work") tag to the next batch of x-rated stuff I upload.

LOL.....O, most of your stuff should be required to carry a warning label...."Do not view if you are subject to heart palpitations, stroke, or sudden rises in blood pressure due to sexual overstimulation."

Joking aside, I think it's a good idea to label x-rated threads.....if for no other reason than it's a good faith effort to keep people who shouldn't from inadvertently viewing them.

Hmm... why are people viewing these threads at work? Are we to protect them from their own folly? Sounds like a government tactic to me.

Heehee... don't get me started.

Last thing I want is Ashcroft rifling through my company's proxy cache even if he's a continent away.

In any case, there are a lot of SFW threads in the forum us corporate drones can read through during our breaktimes. Personally, I need to get my muscle fix as often as I can.

(Stories... need... more... stories...)

this is an adult forum, and you do have to agree that such things don't offend you when you join. With that said, it would be nice to know for when you go to look at things in public...

Good thing I censored my avatar then.

If one was in public with ones conservative parents would one go into a known sleezy bar? It doesn't identify itself on the outside as "Sleezy Bar caution advised" but one would presumably know what is inside and what might be viewed.

brent, I totally agree, I was just seeing if it'd be too much to ask a favor from everyone to warn people first. Maybe it's asking too much, since avatars themselves can be explicit (haha nice censor there radiokid).

thanks for listening though! I feel that we're a community and so asking such a favor is like asking friends.
