NSFW tag for ideas
A tag that goes on an idea showing that it's not safe for viewing at work (not-safe-for-work.. NSFW. Get it?) | |
'Couple times lately, I've had my work computer system identify HB pages as being unnacceptable. In that my home internet is (apparently permanently...) down, I' m doing my halfbaking from work during breaks, etc.
Basically I think the monitor is picking up on bad language, combinations of words,
or perhaps link content. I'm not really sure. But seeing as each time it records my attempts to access "undesirable" content, I'd rather not keep up this trend. Obviously I don't go and view ideas like "vagina jam" or other fisting related ideas from here, but sometimes you just can't tell what's coming. So maybe there could be a tag on ideas that might generate hits from nanny-type filters?
Note that just not going to the HB from work is simply not considered an option...

Sadly, I must wait until I get home or Halfbake from my PDA on my brakes. Supposedly, our computers are monitored by IT guys and I guess web surfing is a fireable offense. That's what they tell us, at least, and I don't want to get fired. I have no clue if it's true or not. What really sucks is that there's no restriction on the sites we can access, so it's like they're deliberately tempting us, daring us to break a rule and waiting to pounce when it happens. |

I do not believe vagina jam is fisting related, but I get your point. If I were your boss I would fire you. |

This could work, and it could work pretty well. Have a database of words that are often considered objectionable, like profanity, vulgarity, and work-taboo words like 'sex', 'drugs', 'weapons', and racial slurs. Every idea posted would be automatically scanned, kinda like a spellchecker, and a color-dot system would be used to indicate the presence of objectionable words in the post. For instance, the following (completely hypothetical): |
|
| |
//This fine ass bitch wants to suck my cock, but her boyfriend's a wetback with a record a mile long. so this is an idea to get rid of the son of a bitch.// |
|
| |
This would be marked with a black dot next to the idea's title on the home screen to indicate the presence of NSFW words, and the dot would be triggered by any of the following words: |
|
| |
profanity (ass, bitch), vulgarity (cock), and racial slurs (wetback). |
|
| |
If the post were re-worded, it might not show up. For instance: |
|
| |
//A pretty lass would like to give me a trouser-friendly kiss. Her boyfriend, however, is an ill-tempered Mexican with a history of violence. This idea is intended to remove the threat posed by her boyfriend.// |
|
| |
No taboo words, so it would not trigger the content blocker on your company's computer. |

If you can come up with a way to confound IT spying, I'll give you another bun! |
|
| |
//This fine ass bitch...//
... and now [Custard] won't be able to read *this* page :D |
|
| |
I bet it's just another anti-Scunthorpe ploy. |
|
| |
Work somewhere else. That's the thing that needs fixing. |
|
| |
the usual solution involves beer and somebody in the IT department. |

Greetings from Central Lancashire, here in sunny Clitheroe. |

Hi Straight Back at ya from Scunthorpe! |

Swanky nightwatchmen like meltwater. |

You could always just filter out benfrost and Ian T.
That should fix ya for a while. |
|
| |
In your instance [Custardguts], it seems that even you aren't sure what's triggering your content filter. How is the halfbakery system meant to second guess what will be classed as offensive? |
|
| |
You could try using a proxy service like ninjacloak or anonymouse. Or you could listen to [Ian]. |

I thought "bitch", "ass", and "cock" were all farmyard animals - e.g. "Sally, the bitch sheepdog raced through the farmyard, disturbing the cock, through the field where the ass was grazing to the sheep field". |
|
| |
No, but Kipling and Dorking do. |
|
| |
Dickens are just so... 1960s. |
