Adult Material

[old300zx]

If you see a suspect avatar, report it

i'm not trying to make waves here but my 7 year old just asked me what that man is doing

R31Nismoid

i just lied to her and said he had a itch i SHOULD NOT have to lie to my child on a car site

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. oh man. i need to go outside.

As an IT Administrator in a fairly large corporation, I'd like to say that if any dirty shit is found on any computers under my control, I wouldn't personally care, its up to the supervisors of the departments on what action needs to be taken at first to stop it and warn the offenders. So please don't give IT guys at your work daggers cause they like softcore pornography as much as you do.

Peace,

Pauly.

I think the "no adult material" policy is a good one.

In the meantime, if you have Firefox, you can specify individual images to block regularly (e.g. avatars) using this extension:

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1672/

you can turn off avatars and signatures with the forum settings anway.

OK.. can I please get some clarification on what is acceptable and what's not re adult material in sections other than the wasteland? (oh and I don't mean avatars but pics as well)

Like at what point is it not acceptable.. I'm told bikini's etc are ok as it's the same as Autosalon pics.. tho I don't agree with Autosalon pics being worksafe either but at least they're usually in a clearly marked thread.. and also then I don't need to explain to my daughter why there are girls hanging off cars wearing not much, but she has to keep her dress down etc etc...

Anyway I know all workplaces have different policies.. like I don't even know how half of you can look at NS.com caus it's always been blocked from the first load at every company I've ever worked at.. YET if you work in the govt you can pretty much look at anything.. but anyyyhooo is there an SAU policy or guidelines or something?

Thankyou

[Kaz200]

do the mods agree that the avatar of m3gtr is adult?

If so can you please ask him to change it, as I asked him politely if he could change it to something more G rated and he refused.

My daughter was sitting right next to me when I was replying in a motorsport thread and she almost saw it.

Cheers,

Totally agree.... man, if you are on a lunch break and you decide to check out some replies to some threads and porn is posted - damn, you'll lose your work....

[Kaz200]

seems like alot of adult avatars lately and noone seems to be fixing them.. are we no longer a family site?

I have to be really careful about letting my daughter see the screen while I am doing SAU VIC stuff.

I sent a PM a while ago to.. (will look now) but no response...

[Sl!m]

use the report a post link, that way it goes to more than one person

kaz we have a thread in the mods section where we discuss and action inappropriate avatars, report them if you see things.

the problem that makes it difficult is that the rules only officially mention nudity, but there are lots of un-naked but not family friendly avatars, including people who deliberately push the line and then complain when we remove it

Those people are annoying caus it's a waste of time and energy, it's not a 15 yr old geek/porn fest here (thats called NS.com). Maybe I'll start sending pics of ugly naked guys to them and see how they like it They'll have to be careful when their mums walk in the room that she doesn't see the screen at an inopportune moment..

PS thanks for the help

[Duncan]

you keep reporting em, we'll keep fixing em. unfortunately we seem to have an almost endless supply of immature children sAfrican Americaning at how they pushed the rules.

[agent_provocateur]

thanks for stickin up for us ppl workin i know if my boss caught me lookin up porn i wouldnt have a job.

How about you people do your job, what youre being paid to do. Rather than going to car forums, which isn't work related anyway. Then there won't be any problems.

I fail to see why people expect that it's their right to be able to go to websites at work that aren't work related, then expect that site(SAU) to censor it so they don't get in trouble for it.

Seriously, do your f**king jobs.

[R31Nismoid]

Have you failed to read the guidelines that you agreed to abide by when registering on this forum agent_provocateur?

Kinda self explanatory.

Nothing wrong with people using their lunch break, i know my work doesn't mind at all and many other companies are the same.

So people are right, to think this site is friendly @ work based on the guidelines (again, did you read them?)

[Duncan]

a couple of dodgy avatars cleaned up today.

[PranK]

Funnily enough, I am in the middle of re-writing all of the guidelines and howto's for this site... Its a big job!

Kaz, I feel I need to reassure you that it is definately a family site. I know a few people who will browse the site with a youngan on their lap (myself included) and I'd hate for people to not be able to do that.

Please rest assured that things do get actioned, it just takes time sometimes.

You're right nismoid.

I work at a school, and I am allowed to look at sau etc while having lunch, or on a break.

Problem is, its a religious school, and we can't have crap avatars floating around, some are just junk even if I am at home!

And before anyone jacks up about being at a religous school - One of the Pastors here is a car freak, and races at the local drag strip often. So don't think religous people don't do this sort of sport. Oh and for those that don't know what a pastor is - its the equavalent to a priest (except they can have a wife and kids, etc)
