Oh, and for the record, if you buy a membership, you get to choose whether or not to display that content. |
In a lack of good judgment though, this flag is not turned on during voting. We've discussed this at length in the past, but it's still a terrible oversight. |
Ive never understood why it matters if you mark a comment as helpful or not. I did it for the first month and don't think I've bother since. What does one do with that information?
I would say 99 out of a 100 comments are helpful, so what's the point in saying so? |
Because there's no box to say "This comment wasn't helpful" ...
:D |

Why in heck would it be turned on during voting? Like coming up on a "This image hidden due to content" is going to not affect a vote. lol.
That's just silly. |
Not silly at all, but thanks for the insult.
Some of us are allowed to do personal stuff at work, but also don't want nudity coming up on our work machines for the whole world to see.
So it makes the most sense to let us toggle that on and off, even during voting. We're grown ups here, we know when it's appropriate and when it's not. |
Actually, we're not even all grown ups here, but that's beside the point :) But you're right, for the most part, we're grown-ups. So if you're allowed to use DPC at work, just gently go to your boss and explain how DPC works. Explain the site to your co-workers, and that certain images may from time to time come up, and that you'll do your best to minimize it if "the whole world" happens to be crammed into your office/cubicle/whatever. Then explain that as part of a photographic diversity website such as it is, anyone looking over your shoulder that happens to see a photo of nudity shouldn't be too shocked by it.
You know, instead of being not-so-adult and whining that not having something in place that could potentially skew voting results is a "lack of good judgement" when all it really is, is a cover for not having to be personally offended. |

The 'Hidden due to content' solution is MUCH easier! :-) |

Besides, there aren't too many workplaces that are going to say "ok, I understand it's an artistic nude". Too many EEOC rules and potential harassment liabilities from an employers standpoint. |

| I also appreciate the "Hidden due to Content" placeholders. I often visit this site at work and it's nice that I don't have to look over my shoulder to see who's watching when I bring up DPC. |

Well . . that's a bit like saying most pictures are pleasant to look at so why bother commenting ?
I'm not the most prolific commentator on the site by a long way and I've certainly given out plenty of 'nice shot' type comments, but there are some shots I don't bother commenting on because I the person apparently can't be bothered to acknowledge the fact that someone has taken the time to stop by - look at their work and like it enough to leave a comment - however brief.
I'm guessing that like most people you would become a little down hearted if you never got a single comment on any of your shots ? I know I would. I don't live for the next comment - but I appreciate people taking the time to pick out my shot from the countless available.
Usually ;- ) |

It is not DPC's responsibility to enable you to vote on company time.
If you can't vote on nudes at work, then don't vote at work, or cherry-pick (pun intended) the non-nudes from the challenge thumbnails page. |

I didn't say it was DPC's responsibility. I was responding to K10DGuy's post earlier. My opinion is that the current solution in place ('Hidden due to content' flag) works fine. Please reference my post made today at 10:38:32 AM. |

I don't usually argue in threads like these, but for those that don't like the "hidden due to content" thing, can't you just go into your preferences and uncheck the "hide adult content" box? Then they show up just fine, don't they?
I guess I just don't understand the problem here. If you don't want the photos blocked, change your preference. If you need them blocked for work, change your preference. Why all the arguing? What am I missing? |

Yeah, I know it was a dumb question. But when I see what people whine about, sometimes it still kills me. :) |

The argument is about how the filter doesn't kick in until after the voting is over. So if you're voting on a challenge with nudes in it, and voting in a place where nudes are inappropriate, you may get a rude surprise. Ditto for the kids voting, they will be seeing nudes if they vote a challenge that contains nudes. So some people are saying "Why isn't this filter in place during voting?" and others are saying "Because it would skew the voting results unfairly!", and that's basically the argument.

My comments were mainly directed towards the beginning of the thread when people were talking about the winning images on the front page.
As for images during the voting phase, I can understand the argument. As with a lot of things in life, there's no remedy that will please everyone. Personally, I just know to be careful when voting at work. I didn't even bother at work looking at the Lingerie contest during the voting period. And I'm usually careful with Free Studies because I know there may be nudes in there. |
