Well ok, but if thumbnails with nudity are not ok then I'm just wondering why there's one in the top row of the forum right now.
Jus saying ;)

It's hard to define, that's true (and the gallery is owei's department), but that picture doesn't actually show anything IMHO. I would see the "side of breast" in the background as slightly less offensive than the thumbnails you had on offer. There's no "full frontal nudity" there (as the male figures do not even show any genitalia). But it's obviously highly debatable, as you so kindly point out...
But I give up...
It's obviously highly subjective and I am trying to think
from the widest (or is it narrowest?) possible perspective here...
I knew the nudity tag would some day come back and haunt me...

The nudity tag I find very useful in situations such as when you're in the office scouring sicommunity.com for plugins, and accidentaly hit a thread like mine and it just so happens that your boss walks in exactly in that moment (as usual ... :-bd )

I was going for a preview here because the thread looked pretty pictureless without clicking the "show" buttons - I agree I could've opted (and will if OK) for smaller and more censored versions of the thumbnails, so no boss can recognize anything from 5 meters away :ympray: ..

and what, is one's boss a toad or a tree? doesn't he handle nudity like a normal mature human being? or is he an automaton that goes: oh no, nudity detected, system overload, cannot handle, cannot seeeee... (damaged faded out robot voice) ?!

Sorry I don't see your point :-\

The reason the nudity tag came up recently again in this thread was because of rray’s clever implementation of previews, which I – as the initiator of the nudity tags – found problematic.
Any further discussion about the general nature of the nudity tags doesn't belong here.
This is “rray’s WIP" thread, where his use of the nudity tags (or lack thereof... :- ) might be discussed, not the place, where the nudity tags itself should be discussed. For discussions like that (although I think I won’t easily be convinced of dropping them) I’ve opened a new thread that I started with a slightly longer post about the general idea of the nudity tags.

Hi there
continuing here:
Ray's WIPs (nudity) @cgtalk

(No judging about the nudity tag here - It's just that it seems that everything I work on seems to involve nudity, and for that reason a WIP thread that you have to click 28 times to see the pictures might not be the best idea for me to post my WIPs in)

Cheers,
Ray

Sorry, you feel that way...
Serves me right, I guess, for trying to do the decent thing...
(You never explicitly stated the on-going nudity in the thread title here, that might have made a difference, but okay)

Well, frankly, I think you wanted to make a point and, hey, you made it...
(after stating a few posts earlier, how you agreed with the necessity of the infamous nudity tag).

Okay I "talked" (per PM) to owei and a decision has been made: The nudity tag will no longer be a requirement for threads that are explicitly marked as containing "NUDITY" in their title. This means, however, we all must agree upon not changing the title of posts in such threads to prevent people from inadvertently dropping by through the Board Index (last post) or the Active Topics.

@rray specifically - please open up a new thread with an appropriate title.

Finally, I want to make it absolutely clear: I made up this "rule" about the nudity tag, not to annoy anyone or because I am such a prude myself. This whole forum moderation is one of constant "making stuff up, as we go along" and when I introduced the nudity tags I for one didn't foresee the fact that rray would be making so much use of it...
:D
