RE: Porn on Steemit - How I Am Approaching It
unless it is in the thumbnail in the main list and people see it without opting in. You are correct though if the thumbnail is not NSFW and the post is tagged NSFW it should be left alone. Though a lot of them I just looked at were also potentially copyrighted things... some clearly labeled Playboy and such.
Not sure if we want lawsuits killing us before we get too big to kill.
Just because the front end hasn't been developed for NSFW content support yet doesn't give you the right to false flag content because of a thumbnail. That is censorship pure and simple. I wish there were flag overrides and steem power penalties for such false flags implemented.
It is known if the thumbnail is NSFW it is going to get flagged. YOu also shouldn't expect to be able to force that upon people against their wishes. You are correct there is no way to do it now, but I've seen those enforcing things warn of this. So your opinion isn't going to change it. I do not think people should be flagging NSFW posts that are clearly marked and the initial thumbnail is not offensive. Allow people to opt in. Also porn does NOT bother me, but I respect the rights of other people not to see it.
EDIT: I saw a 14 year old doing an #introduceyourself a couple of weeks ago, and there are also religious people, and even perhaps others. It also appears some of the content I looked at is copyrighted. That could open a can of worms before we are ready to fight off the big fish that come looking.
First I've ever heard of it. If the post is tagged NSFW it should be fine. You don't get to choose if there is a thumbnail or not or pick which pictures are used. I've had it use the 3rd pic in a post before. I believe the devs do have plans to give you the option to enable/disable nsfw content. It's beta so for now you just have to live with it. That's what an uncensored platform is.
Yeah I edited my response while you were typing yours...
As to when I heard about the thumbnail. the first week I was here when animated GIFs were still working in the thumbnail (seems to have changed) there was a pretty explicit animated GIF blow job floating around out there. It was actually the first time I ever saw a post with negative votes. I didn't know the flag existed, so I was like "how is that negative?" and that's when they told me where it was and why it was flagged.
Nesting limit... thumbnail is always the first picture. So post a picture with some clothes on, or something as the first one... and the thumbnail will be safe.
EDIT: I've only had it choose the third picture if I posted it and that third picture was the 1st. Then I edited it and added more photos before that. It stuck with the original one. That doesn't mean it can't happen. I just haven't seen it happen. Yes and I agree on the BETA thing. It will be addressed.
It's not always the first picture. https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@fubar-bdhr/diaspora-shattered-armistice-battlestar-galactica-space-combat-simulator its the third pic. I had to edit it several times to try to get the right pic to show and move things around.
I agree. I will not flag porn posts, so long as they are titled NSFW and do not include the image in the thumbnail. The thumbnail aspect of it is what set me off, and after thinking about all these replies, this seems like a much more reasonable course of action.
You can't tell it not to put an image in the thumbnail or even specify what image it uses.
I know that I can't tell people what to post. This is why I titled this post, "how I am approaching it". They can do what they want, I can do what I want. Also, I am providing transparency to my decision. I could have just downvoted like crazy and not said anything, at least I am being up front with my approach, while simultaneously being open to the fact that I may be wrong.
