SITE NEWS: Image Guidelines

Email
PrintOn numerous occasions, in comments in various threads, I've politely asked members of the community to refrain from posting salacious or inappropriate pictures on BRB. I suppose I didn't state my position forcefully enough, because one of the members in our community apparently thought it would be permissible to post nude pictures in the comments to a post this morning. Those comments have been deleted, and the person who posted them has been banned. I am blown away that anyone could think that sort of stuff was fair game on BRB, and I'm angry at myself for allowing things to progress to a point where someone would think posting images like that would be tolerated here.
Thus, allow me to remove any doubt (though again, I'm stunned I actually have to take the time to post about this). Images of individuals nude or in any state of undress are strictly prohibited on BRB. I'm also going to take the image policy a step further while I'm on the subject of image use. Hit the jump, please.
Since the inception of this site, I've been adamant about wanting to keep BRB safe for the workplace. I know that a lot of people check this site throughout the workday, and I don't want this URL to be added to any ban list(s) because of what could be deemed inappropriate image content. Therefore, I am asking all of you to refrain from posting any pictures or images that could run afoul of what can admittedly be a nebulous standard. I like pictures of Christina Hendricks, bouncy GIFs, and the like as much as the next guy, but there's no reason for them to be on BRB. Ever. So stop posting them here.
If you question whether a picture or image would pose a problem for someone who was viewing the thread at work, don't post it. From now on, posting those sorts of images will result in a two-strike policy. First strike means a warning. Second strike means a ban.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to e-mail me. As always, thank you for your consideration.

Thank you.
Nothing wrong with a picture of an attractive lady in and of itself, but it was getting a bit ridiculous lately. This isn’t Maxim’s website.
There are a number of female readers here as well, of course. We wouldn’t want to alienate them.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to quickly scroll past these images to avoid confrontation. If my wife were to see one of these I would be banned. I like looking at beautiful women in their birthday suits as much as anyone in the world, but there is a time and place for that, and that place is not here. thank you.

I agree that full frontal nudity may present absolutely presents a problem but as a not mod I’ll refrain from arguing. I am personally offended by the the specificity of your examples, though. Apparently you are not a big fan of Katy Perry.

Whole-hearted agreement, Tim
Writing as one who has posted photos on sports websites before (not porno or nudity, mind you), I would not mind the prohibition of photos in general. Usually, these photos, my submissions included, are of little value (i.e., sophomoric, bad taste or simply corny). Considering the higher status our Texans have achieved this season, perhaps this site should limit itself to the (well-) written words I have grown accustomed to, or at least limit photo size and/or give readers the option to suppress photos. Quite frankly, I request that posters show a bit of restraint with regard to foul language and sexual reference as well. I read this blog primarily for sports insight and clever humor.

Gotta' disagree with ya' jaws...
While I agree that our conversations will lose nothing with the removal of the salacious photos, SOME of the photo-shopped / doctored photos that get posted here rank at the top of the creativity/entertainment scale.
I hope that we are able to agree to leave sex of all flavors (both “fer it” and “agin it”) to other sites without over-reacting and diminishing some of the really funny content.

...have to agree it was getting over the line.
Safe for work is my issue and I just lost a pretty frickin’ long reply post somehow (??? /blamed on glitch)… but I’ll miss the “High Prietess of Bewbz”….and I apologize to fellow BRBers for her inclusion on numerous posts for which I never recieved an admonition. Personally, if it shows up on a SNL skit it should be considered safe.
So much for respecting others opinions of which diety, we as fans, should pray to for victory or blame in defeat. Personally, I think she was doing a pretty good job protecting us from the BESF’s.

i like most like having a browser window separate just for BRB, and over the past few months where i could have it fully open it’s gotten smaller and smaller to the point where now it’s just big enough where i can read like 5 comments at a time in fear of my boss walking past and seeing Katy Perry boobs splashed over my screen. what’s weird though is the texans cheers (or all other NFL cheers for that matter) are half dressed and scantily clad, but most jobs will allow you to peruse the texans cheers website without restriction. strange world we live in. lol

meh, boobs are what the internet is for, i come to brb to read about football
might want to consider the whole BE-SF thing though since that is a reference to killing children and incest
And at the point that becomes an issue...
…it’ll be time to move along.
Tim does a GREAT job of finding and defending a fairly reasonable line of delineation between defense of good taste and inclusion vs. total No Fun Board nanny-state-ism.
I don’t think there is any arguing that nudity constitutes a pretty obvious tangent to the core topic here and the absence thereof will not diminish the overall enjoyment of the site. But becoming so hand-wringingly overly-sensitive to the possibility of ANYONE being offended by ANYTHING to the point that we abolish all borderline trash-talk is too much like being at work

Not a bad policy
I had no issues with the bouncing boobs and stuff, and this is a football blog, but the occasional surprise was welcomed. Since I work from home, it never has been an issue for me personally, but I agree that those at work in real and professional offices would like to access this blog at work.

Yeah, but that as a reason is weak...
…because if you work in an office where that would be an issue, you are going to get busted for the cheerleader photos too. Granted, nudity would be an AUTOMATIC spanking, but if someone that is sensitive to the issue walks by and you have a cheerleader photo on your screen, you are going to hear about it…. at length… in triplicate… in HR…

I'm not particularly a fan of having cheerleader pics in the article header for this reason
But there’s a big difference between that and what’s been going on in the comments. Firstly, it’s only one picture. I scroll past it and I’m no worse off. Secondly, it’s not as lewd as a lot of the stuff I’ve seen in the comments lately. And lastly, I can easily explain it away if my boss catches a glimpse that I’m just on a football blog, which he wouldn’t care about so long as I get my work done by the end of the day.
Let's make some clarification
If it’s something that would be seen on a standard suburban street, and the image is a still photo, I think it should generally be allowed here.
For example:
Lingerie/Swimsuit pics – No.
Bouncing Katy Perry – Negatory.
Cheerleaders, and other females in similarly-styled outfits: A-OK.
I hate to agree with you but...
Katy was a bit on the hyponitic side.

Sorry.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Is a picture of me in a speedo rubbing cocoa butter on my belly while riding a unicycle “inappropriate”?

But why does that sound so wrong? Maybe if you said something along the line of “Hell No, that is not appropriate”, I wouldn’t be so creeped out

With success comes tards.
That is, of course, when dealing with blogs and messageboards. The Texans are having a fine season thus far and the result of that has seen a plethora (please refrain from posting a picture of El Guapo) of new members join the BRB. Some new members bring the funny, the insight, and/or the occasional timely post about all things Houston Texans or pop culture related. But then you’ve got those other people. Yes, I am talking about the ones who have no idea how a blog or messageboard works. They don’t get the vibe or the pulse of the board. They don’t know what is considered taboo or acceptable in this type of environment. Some can be taught the art of blogging/messageboarding and work out the kinks, but for many others its hopeless. Tim, all I can suggest to you is to get a bigger ban-hammer and watch Thor a few times as motivation for a zero-tolerance policy. You must rid the BRB of these tards once and for all. You have my full support, brother.

So I’m watching all the NFL yearbook specials I have saved. It puts things in perspective that I’m watching our thunder and lightining CB combo Dunta and Petey. Our franchise running back Wali Lundy. Our great center Mike Flanigan, right guard Fred Weary, and new draft pick Charles Spencer. Also the wonderful aquisitions of Anthony Weaver and Morlon Greenwood. Just helps to put things in perspective. Even with the injuries now we actually have the depth to deal with them unlike then.
