My Opinion

[neitherday.livejournal.com]

As moderator, I do agree non-worksafe material should be <lj-cut>. However, I do not believe this post is non-worksafe. All the "inappropriate" bits are covered up. I've seen nudity (barring certain specific areas of the body) in magazines in waiting rooms in offices so many times, that I don't see a problem with dykeprincess's post.

i think your logic is skewed

clearly, there are many people out there who do not feel the image is SFW. some of these people aren't lucky enough to have you as their boss.

in my opinion, you need to get off the fence and either:

-declare that anything questionable should go behind a cut, or;
-declare that anything goes

and for the record, i'm all for the "anything goes" option.

in my opinion, you need to get off the fence and either:

I'm for this. I don't care what the policy is, so long as there is one clearly spelled out. Perhaps "all images go behind a cut", "all images over 100 pixels high go behind a cut", or "all images are okay". Maybe either "all potentially non-worksafe content goes behind a cut" or "all content is okay".

I know some people don't like to have rules. But I find that communities in general function better if the rules are known and understood.

I'm not on the fence. I consider that picture to be okay. I have said that some picture that are clearly not worksafe are not okay. I think most people here can use some common sense and figure out the difference. If there is a question, I will judge the picture, and determine whether it needs to be cut. As moderator, it is my decision what is allowable in the community.

And for those who want a pixel number, pictures greater than 500 pixels wide need to be cut.

I have said that some picture that are clearly not worksafe are not okay.

The issue is that the words "clearly" and "worksafe" are individually defined. Some people have different notions of what "clearly" means, and some workplaces are different from others. I work from home, for example, and very seldom have anybody looking over my shoulder. Some of the projects I work on ("worksafe", by definition) would not be suitable for this community. In a community, we need to have a shared notion of what's acceptable.

pictures greater than 500 pixels wide need to be cut.

Unless your screen is much smaller than mine, I think that was a typo. Make it "500 pixels high" and I'd be happy with it.

As far as I'm concerned worksafe = something that isn't highly offensive (i.e. racist, etc.) and doesn't expose the bits of the body that American culture teaches us are "naughty". Any vague areas will be clarified by me as the need arises.

And 500 pixels wide wasn't a typo. A lot of people operate on a screen that's 640 pixels wide or less. The idea is to prevent horizontal scrolling.
