This may sound like a weird doubletake, but that avatar is okay in my book(not just because it's part of the greatest bikini montage I've ever seen) because it's small enough the the passerby in the office won't know what he's looking at unless he/she makes a point of scrutinizing. Same goes for similar-sized images & gifs(if you really gotta put em in the shoutbox). The shit I breezed past earlier though was huge, not to mention it makes it harder to infact get to valid text entries when there's a monster image in the way, nevermind one I'm frantically trying to hide from my colleagues.

 

Jumbie accounts for forgetfulness(even though worst case scenario there's a cornerstone of Hondos called Blargh), what about the otehr two?

i think that everyone should consider one another before posting anything, but at the same time, i dont think there should be rules about what you can and cannot post in the shout box. you can minimize it. so enter at your own risk. this is an adult site, and if you are at work, you need to be careful, instead of censoring everybody else.

You'da man Sig. Champion effort, really.Ames, the only thing being suggested here, as opposed to enforced or even requested to be enforced, is a little common sense & decency, as is the point you made & then somehow backflipped on in the same post. What the fuck function do semi-naked .gifs have in Shoutbox? Are we emulating MM or trying to lure back Acalis? Seriously. There are conversations that happen in there because, you know, it's a dialogue box. Anyone feels they can only communicate through NSFW imagery should once again, fuck off to 4-chan. Remember kids, Hondos is Drinks, Discussion, then whores. Talk before pork. Never forget.

Thing is though on the issue of size, my gif was small, and relatively indiscreet. I fail to see much issue with it.
I never saw yours man, so I can't comment.

i just mean by all that that ppl should be considerate, but there should be no concrete rules or it starts to look like censorship. ppl should be considrate, but you cant make them. so enter at your own risk.

Which I do. Noone seems to appreciate the slippery slope I walk here stating that as a member of Hondos who posts most frequently from work, that cencorship is by no means a good thing & that Hondos should be entered at one's own risk. I mean, you have Joel on one side saying shit needs to be SFW in any public area including shoutbox, and then there's Doj who's a self-confessed shit-stirrier who just seems to dig on making things difficult for whatever gratification he can muster. This is my diplomatic approach whereby, even if I were at home, naked with my tissue & moisturiser sidearms, there's places to go for smut, even within Hondos. If i'm looking at shoutbox, I'm looking to chat. Fuck's sake, there's even Blargh(another thread I respectfully don't go to at work for the NSFW reason) if you have some random gif or whatever...

regardless, i like that i sit here and tell you guys that there's a few members that can no longer post here from work anymore, and the answer is BAWWW I WANT SMUT INNA SHOUTBOX AND PEOPLE WHO DONT ARE PUSSIES, followed by quantifying what should be socially acceptable to some random person's higher-ups. its a chat application with images allowed, are you really trying to prove a point in it? there's times i had a hard time getting to sections of this board from my old hospital job; i was really hoping a system of tagging threads NSFW would help filter these things and not get us blocked at more places, at least if it was avoidable. i want more of us on here more of the time (when possible), not less.

I still dont see anyone wanting to flood shoutbox with porn gifs. Ross posted a hot tub defication gif and I posted Biel wearing clothes.

 

Get angry all you want, but once the roof came unglued due to the naked pics in shoutbox, everyone stopped. There was a lot more mutual respect shown than people gave credit for. Sure, we debated over it, back and forth, took sides, argued... did alla that, but noone posted another naked pic in the shoutbox. Now, bikini clad chicks are off limits? Uhm, ok. If the official stance is, bikinis costs people jobs, then I doubt you will see anymore in the shoutbox. It will be something else next, as thats the way it goes. Next it will be swear words, cuz a boss saw someone say FUCK HER! and he thought it was you typing about her. Then it will come to we can only talk about work related stuff or the boss gets mad.

 

Once the issue comes up, the subject in question stops, history proves this... but people then rant on about it, and if anyone defends the idea, they become prick and douche and asshole or whatever... its a bit petty.

 

The original nudie pics were meant as fun/funny, with no hindsight about people at work griping about it. It immediately stopped, out of respect. Yet, somehow the thrashing began.

 

This incident, a funny hot tub incident, was focused on the funny oops i crapped in the water, not the fact that they are wearing bikinis. NOONE would have thought that a clothed woman, even bikini clad, would be NSFW. So, now we have to take a minute, mebbe check with a friend or fellow hondie via messenger... "hey is this funny, or is it someones pink slip?'

 

To solve this is it or isnt it issue, I say we outlaw any pics/gifs/video's period in shoutbox, so the bickering stops. Text only... cursing is fine, til someone gets bored and complains about that.

 

fair enough? vote?

right, the hapless victims putting up large .gifs of gyrating cooch are the heroes, and alla the sudden, people like myself who usually celebrate titties elsewhere on the board are politically correct monsters, forcing an argument of a slippery slope that results in <CENSORED> in the shoutbox, because - sig, give me a break.

 

i dont care how great the biel image looks; go back and look at it again and tell me its not a big .gif file that's overtly sexually suggestive. its not the end of the world, but yeah, it does fly in the face of the idea of people wanting to post from work, frankly. and i didnt say pink slipped, i said IT blocked, which again, has happened a few times now and again, im simply trying to prevent. i was wrong about DoJ's classy shit-water .gif having titties, but if you're honestly defending the giant biel vag thrust as safe for everyone else's work environment, you're either being inane or halfway taking the piss with me, which is fine but dont make it a bigger issue than it is: post all the classy .gifs you guys care to, but in the same vein of this original debate, just ask yourself (about the larger ones, especially): what's the first thing that pops up when someone logs in here? i trust you guys to use your judgment, and christ man, i can see what she's thinking.

uhhh nick?

 

I was talking about the hot tub pic. I didnt see how THAT pic was an issue. I thought my joke with Joel earlier clarified that the Biel pic, even dressed, danced around the line. Hardly anyone mentioned the Biel pic, the focus was on the hot tub. So we are clearly misunderstanding each other here. I am already not given a fuck about enough, I dont need to square off against you to further any of that.

I thought I was clear on that I was mainly talking about the hot tub pic... that at least explains why we were at extremes in our last few posts, wasnt the least bit up in arms or mad... I just wasnt understanding you.

 

And I think we can all agree that it was gross, but epic gross no? I think the size of it keeps it at bay too, cuz I am sure if it were an entire page or zoomed in and you saw 'floaters' that it would cross the line. So, Skeet does have a point when he is talking about pic sizes earlier on.
