12/16/08 - New Feature - You can now mark images as "mature"

[leah]

Hello all,

From now on, if you post an image that you think might be offensive to some people, you can wrap it in the tags:

Code:

[matureimg][/matureimg]

Rather than the normal tags:

Code:

[img][/img]

(There's also a button for these tags which looks like the normal img button but with a red X on it.)

This is what will happen if you do this:

GUESTS (people who are not logged in) will see this icon and explanation:


MEMBERS (people who are logged in) will see the "mature" image by default but you can go to your Profile and go the Look and Layout section and change this setting if you'd like mature images to be blocked.

I want to make it really clear that we don't allow outright pornography, hate, racism, etc of any kind. And we very rarely get anyone posting anything like that. What this feature is for is the occasional project image with swear words, hanky-panky-themed (but not pornographic) images, etc.

We also don't want anyone to think that just because we mark an image as mature, that we personally are offended by it. We'll be as liberal as we possibly can and only mark images which are the type that we tend to get some complaints about.

We want Craftster to remain a place where edgy (but tasteful) content has a home.

Thanks for reading!

I love this feature!  I am not easily offended but I may have to change my settings just so I can see the cute icon!

That will be helpful for people who craftsterbate at  work.

*cough*

Not that I know anything about such behavior.

[leah]

Of course not.

I like this idea, and the little icon is sooooo cute!
