Quote - How's this for an idea.
Someone sets there profile to censor nude images. They click on the gallery -- any gallery -- and all images with the nudity flag set are filtered out. No thumbnail drama. You just get a smaller subset of a gallery. This would work the same on censoring out violence images as well.
That's not the point.
The problem wasn't and isn't about being able to filter out nude images.
The thumbnail policy was implemented to clean up the gallery thumbnails on the arrival pages for those who don't use the nudity filter because they want to view nudes. I for one like to view truely artistic nude images, so tell me how my using the "no nudity filter" to block nude images is going to allow me to do that?
The complaints were that the gallery arrival pages were looking like the backs of porn magazines with all of the close up shots of T & A.
The thumbnail policy still allows for people to upload their nude and violent images, and it still allows those who want to browse the gallery without the nudity filter on, without being hit in the face with dozens of extremely tacky blown up body parts.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
