this is not serious.
1. In a normal work environment, one is not supposed to surf the web even OPF! unless it it one's job so there could not be any complain.
2. If still one is surfing OPF while at work (despite above §) and fails into a 'nude' picture post, one could immediately hit the back key!
3. Are there any 'nude' warning signals in museums? I really don't think so!
Better fight against hypocrisy instead of being powered by it.
But yes of course !
Imo we don't even need that "nude" category, otherwise, why not 'kids', 'dogs', 'boys', 'girls', 'animals' or even 'cars'!
LoL! are we so naive? do we need warning before every door?
I feel tired with all these categories!
Didn't I/we was born naked?
Hm... well let me enlighten you a bit on my reasoning for suggesting the "NUDE" catagory, and answer a few of your questions since I was probably the one who sparked this discussion. My suggestion was not for a category, but for posters of their own initiative to add "NUDE" or "NSFW" to the subject of their postings, it's quite common and usually self-enforced on most websites that I visit. My intitial suggestion was atually "NSFW", which to most people includes Nudity, blood, violence and vulgarity.
Yes, I have the opportunities/privileges to view the internet at work, we don't have alot of restrictions. I also have a liter bottle of scotch sitting on my desk 1/2 drank right next to an empty liter, something else probably not common on most people's desks at work. But that doesn't mean that I want to display nudity, vulgarity, or other things while on-line while I am at work. The phrase "use it, don't abuse it" comes to mind.
But it's not just at work for which I suggested the "NUDE" category, the NSFW tag implies that if it's not in decency to display publicly at work, you may not want to display it publicly in other areas either, using "what you would show at work" as the measuring stick. In general, if I'm surfing the web for photography to look at and admire (which I do often), I want to know if something contains nudity, vulgarity, or anything else that could be offensive to OTHER people who may see my monitor while passing by. In America we call that common decency and respect for others. Be it at work if I have to wait for the computers to calculate or decide to eat lunch/supper in, be it sitting in the airport waiting for my flight, be it at a friend's house with 2 kids and a wife, or what have you. I personally have no aversion to nudity or some kinds of vulgarity/blood. I also don't particularly care if I smell of a little body odor, but I bathe and keep clean so not to offend others. So it is with nudity and vulgarity. If I'm going to post either, I make sure to give warning to those who may not wish to see can pass it by.
Do we need categories and notifications for everything? I think not. Infact, I usually like to keep catagories and notifications down to the basics, the least complicated. You yourself have categories labeled in your signature, work on your website is not for critique, work you post on the forum is ok to critique. To me, that seems more silly than labeling things as Nude or Vulgar. But any categories that could potentially offend a portion of it's viewers (sometimes offend is not the right word) I think should at the least be marked with a notification. Maybe yall in France don't care either way about keeping nudity/vulgarity/porn from those who wish not to see it or keeping it from being seen by those who elders deem to young to see it. But as for me and mine, I do care. I'll see you your museum comment, and raise you a beach comment. Do not alot nude beaches have a sign declaring them "Nude"? The one's I've heard of, do.
I'm not sure where you are getting this "fight against hypocrisy" stuff, so I'll leave that alone. All that was suggested was a simple "NUDE" tag for threads that contain nudity, something that is fairly common (and usually self-policed) on most other forums that I've visited, where people have the decency to at least warn others when there is going to be nudity, blood, or other things that may perhaps be offensive to others.
Yes like you, I too was born nude and covered in blood, thanks for the reminder of the obvious. But I don't present myself in public that way very often. If you choose to do so in public, that's fine. Just give me a little warning before you do so, that's all I ask. ;-)
