Quote - Not only could one hit a "content advisory" thumb by accident in the wrong situation - I wouldn't want to view nudity when I'm at work, could get me in trouble! - there's also the fact that a significant percentage of the uploaded images contains nudity. What impression does a site make when you have sequences like this (depends on the gallery, of course):

• nudity, nudity,nudity, normal thumb, nudity, nudity, normal thumb, nudity, nudity, nudity -

You'll catch my drift. A thumbnail page like that would look very weird to my boss if he were to watch over my shoulder. And in the case of minors, I think they can't help wondering what it's all about and why they are forbidden to look at it. Basic principle of psychology: if it's forbidden, it's exciting. (Comparisons with drugs or alcohol might be in order).

No, it's better to hide those thumbs from view when the nudity filter is enabled.

 

More of the out of sight, out of mind attitude? It's probably the same thing as why only teaching abstinence never works either. I agree that the other system of hiding the thumbnails when the nudity filter was on was a better idea, but it never stopped the complaints about it anyway.

At least this way they have the proof that it is working right before them even if it causes them to wonder what they're missing. I don't know about "accidents" is that like the example "I was cleaning it and it went off?"

If your boss looks at the web page you're viewing then wouldn't you have a better explanation as to why you're looking at the page? If your job is art related and you're looking at it for a reference then, nudity shouldn't make much difference. If you're on a break and looking at it then no nudity isn't going to be much of a defense either. Either you're allowed to surf Render at work or you're not I doubt the nudity issue is going to contribute much to whether or not you're going to get into trouble for it.
