I thought it was automated for the Nude category, although I have flagged some manually. Maybe the auto-flag is avoided if an image is placed in one category and then changed to another?

Simple: the ones you can see aren't flagged for nudity, and therefore not blocked according to your preference. SC can flag or unflag, but have no access to move images from one gallery to another.

Just learned something new. I thought it (flagging for nude) was automatic when an image was put in the 'Nude' category. Seems like that would be the best approach IMO. So you have to manually update EVERY photo that should be 'Hidden due to content'?! That means they only get flagged when brought to your attention or noticed by SC at some point?

Ok. Here's an interesting scenario. I put my filter to block adult content back on and now I'm seeing the following when I open this forum thread. Why are some of these images blocked & some not, when they are all categorized as Nude (even though I don't think they should be) at the moment?



I cleared out my browser cache (files, history, etc...), closed the browser for good measure, and relogged into DPC.

Good point. Actually, I have pointed out a few of those previously...

I know you guys are busy and flagging them to 'Nude' when needed (the opposite of this problem) is actually done quite quickly.

What got my motor started on this really is many times after a challenge is over I'll be looking thru the results and see the 'Hidden due to content' filter image. It baffles me because I'll have voted on the challenge and know that there wasn't anything 'Nude', yet there's that 'Hidden...' filter blocking something that probably shouldn't be.

BTW - I was a strong advocate for the filtering, and overall I think it works just fine. However, if you read the OP of this thread it sounds like DPC attempted to address the issue of people going for higher views using the 'Nude' technique/categorization. Worked for awhile, but seems to have fallen off the SC radar.

I think I have put some implied nudes in there before, but I agree with Glad, half of them are just there for higher views, silly

I am not trying to be nitpicky, But Nude, Does not mean the person has to be buckass naked.

Nude or Nudity refers to a state of exposure, being completely or partially without clothing.

I know some of the photos in that gallery are definately in there to drum up views. But some of them are legit even though they are not completely Naked. If you are wearing a long sleaved turtle neck. Your hands and face are exposed there for they are nude. So it really is in ones own view of what is nude and what is not.

Glad2badad I think that a few of the ones you posted are implying nudity which in its own way is a form of nude. But I am having a hell of time trying to figure out what that tree is in there for. Unless it has no bark, which is not apparent in the photo, the old car I can sort of see that as being stripped to a point which would also imply nude. The Monkey isn't wearing any clothes so that would also classify as a nude, The rest have some form of nudity so I believe they qualify, However, That being said I prefer to see all or none. At least one boobie would be nice. lol

Here's some examples from the first few pages of the "Nude" photo gallery. Why are these categorized as "Nude"?

How may the abstract gallery be exorcised of non abstract images?

It would be nice if there were more than one "NSFW" category. Perhaps the Nudity gallery and another category for possibly offensive photos (e.g., the infamous pooping horse).

I was looking for a photo to respond to a post in the Nude V challenge thread, and I have to say that the number of photos in the Nude gallery that are NOT properly categorized is amazingly high! I'd say at least 20% are tossed in this category for the increased number of views - they're certainly not nudes.

Looks like the past couple of years has seen an increase in this. If you go back far enough (around the time of this forum thread OP) there aren't nearly as many categorized incorrectly.

Sure does make it abundantly clear that this is ground that has been covered, in detail, before.

Good bump!

Try "Contact" under the "Help" menu and submit a ticket request, or perhaps simply respect the OP's desire that the thread be worksafe and start your own thread with a link to it in the original thread, or just post text-links to your images.

Thanks for the response. So now I can't see the point of introducing the 'hidden due to content' thumbnails in the first place! Personally, I thought that was a far better solution than a link. A person is far more likely to click a link by mistake than click a thumbnail that very obviously says 'hidden due to content'.

And posting links instead of thumbs doesn't solve the problem of nude thumbs appearing on the DPC homepage from challenge winners.

I think a much simpler solution would be to ensure the person posting a nude thumb in any thread ensures it is categorised in the 'nude' gallery, and for people who don't want to view nude thumbs to have their 'Adult Content' filter set appropriately. Seems like a fair compromise.

I'm not SC, but by reading that rule, I'd say that if you're not able to change the subject line then, to be respectful of other members, you should post a link as opposed to a thumbnail. It takes the same amount of time and nobody will be caught off-guard no matter what preferrences they have or have not checked. :)
