Discussion: NSFW images in spoiler tags

[Fire Me Boy!]

Can we take a moment to seriously discuss posting NSFW and full nude images inside spoiler tags? I'm not talking about NSFW images in a thread clearly marked NSFW like the porn gif thread, but NSFW images popping up in threads like today's Tiffani Thiessen thread (just an example since it's fresh on my mind and is not marked NSFW).

Let's forget for a moment that posting pictures showing genitalia and nipples in general is against board policy and focus merely on the spoiler tags.

While the spoiler tags DO hide the image from view for someone walking by, they do nothing for someone whose IS folks at work peek behind the scenes. Spoiler tags only hide the image from view; the image still loads on the machine and its cache.

Am I the only person bothered by this? If I am, I'll shut up. But this is really becoming such a rampant practice, it makes me hesitant to peruse Chiefsplanet at work, even threads that should be safe to go in.

You can be a cool kid if you want.

I understand what OP is saying.

I don't like it or agree.


I don't think spoiler tag in the picture threads with NSFW should be a big deal to be bannworth. Just don't click on the NSFW. I'd rather not click on a link because it could be harmful to my computer or just blog it down. It does that at times.

This is a discussion so I am doing just that with my oppinion on the subject.

Maybe at work shouldn't be looking at the pictures if you got to worry about someone sneeking up behind you. At least the NSFW suggest that it isn't a good idea to look at that spoiler tag. It's on person clicking it at work own fault for getting busted.

It's been stated repeatedly (in the OP and elsewhere) I'm not talking about threads marked NSFW. If the THREAD (not just the post) is marked NSFW, I don't care.

Encasing a pic in spoiler tags only hides it from your view, it doesn't prevent it from being loaded into your browser's cache.

It's a legitimate concern. Perhaps the suggestion DaFace came up with is possible, it looks like a good solution.

That being said, I agree with you. I don't want links. I don't click on links unless I'm absolutely certain I know where they're going. I'd much rather just see the pic.

I don't know. To each their own.

Personally, I'd rather have bare tits and pussies on my face than on my computer but that's just me.

My general feeling is that NSFW images should be linked only and that the spoiler tag isn't a sufficient method of masking it, but I'm open to thinking about it differently.

This is the rule... unless someone can come up with a compelling reason against it. It isn't really even about NSFW it's so we don't get blacklisted as a porn site. So, again, unless there are some convincing arguments to the contrary, this should remain the official rule. As for enforcement, I could care less on that... that's entirely a mod discussion thing as far as I'm concerned.

What are you talking about? Very very very few IT departments give two shits about that kind of thing. We have much better things to worry about than wasting time and bandwidth to scan your computer cache for pictures. And you keep trying to differentiate between bikini and nude pics. But the system doesn't care. Unless you're running some kind of image scanning process on all cache images, the system doesn't differentiate between a bikini pic and a horserape pic. The resources required for that kind of thing wouldn't be wasted on determining whether Joe Businessman is looking at nudie pics linked from chiefsplanet. Like has been said, if your IT is watching you at anything close to that level, you're already ****ed and chiefsplanet is the least of your worries.

You're making way to big of a deal about this...
