just stopping to say:
please oh please do not make DPC a politically correct, art censoring site. Of course nudes should not be discriminated during voting. (cf the various posts and arguments, including TOS etc.)
Oh by the way, I never saw a nude warning at the entrance of any art museum, nor on their website.

Just because you have issues with nudity & can't control yourself, doesn't meant the entire world is that way! Sheesh...

Probably the best quote on this argument to date. Police YOUR morality, NOT mine.

I am a Christian and I have no problems with viewing the nude human body. It is a work of art and amazing in its beauty. Please do not make sweeping generalizations about Christians being prudes.
And no...we do not look like Ken and Barbie under our clothes. Sorry to disappoint. |

Although in some ways, you are right, it is a moral issue. But in others, it's a legal issue. There are laws on the books in some states that make nudity illegal because nudity is considered porn. The art issue doesn't fly. |
Actually, the only state that matters is the one the server is in. In this case Virginia. If the content is illegal, in Alabama, it is my responsibility and consequently I that would be punished.
So, that argument doesn't fly. View the site in China and you might end up dead. View it in Alabama and you might end up with your sister. |
That's who I'm talking about... the person that views it. If they view it by accident and get it in their computer cache, it doesn't matter how it got there or where it came from, that person can be the one that pays the concequences, not DPC... at least not directly.
I think there is more at issue here though than just nudity. I don't know if the SC's that have posted in here are indicitive of the whole, but they have indicated that it won't change. So there really isn't anymore that can be said constructively. I think this has put a few more pebbles in some people's shoe's though. Paticularly by those that see it all as a big joke.

That's good to know, based on some posts in this thread, I was beginning to wonder. |

Here is the solution:
Go to (in firefox)
Tools>>Options
choose Content tab
click on the exceptions for image loading
enter this:
You'll still be able to use forums (w/o images though) and talk about salvation, but you won't see a single jpeg or a giff...
There are other options available to save you from getting in trouble: you can block all access to dpchallenge.com - you can even ask your company to IT to firewall it.
Hey, when I think about it, that's exactly the same suggestion as the OP's one. Have someone else take care of my internet habits.

No, it's not. We don't have to run site statistics to know that entries which are hidden for some users won't get as many votes as those that are always visible to everyone (duh). The site rules state that "We will display all entries in a random order for each voter." Hiding any of the entries, even with a user-defined preference, breaks OUR obligation to show all the entries submitted. Yes, users may already shield their eyes or put a paper bag over their head when they see something they find offensive, but we go out of our way to encourage viewing all the entries without any preference to order or content. The only time you can't already block nudes is while voting, so if that's a problem don't vote.

If you're looking at all 100 images anyway, then the extra click is meaningless (and annoying). If you're not, then my original point stands.

After we're done with this, we should install foot washing basins in the new Islam forum section.

I just wanted to bump taterbug's solution, since it seems to be reasonable (and it's one of the few suggestions that are). |

Reasonable, maybe, but as any other suggestion that is tied to the chekcbox of any kind, it is unattainable. Useless. Does not work. Why?
Because there is no (easy and inexpensive) way to enforce checkboxes on entries.
Any suggestion based on the checkbox is hence invalid as it does not address the issue. You will still see what you object to, even with all the filtering in place if the submitters do not tick the box. Forget about it. |
