Ah. I was going to make that request just last week. Looks like you beat me to it. Good move.

Was this too buggy to enable? If so, not to start a firestorm, but is it possible to flag Exhibition as being part of EZ? I'd rather not risk clicking on "just a few" or "its been years since I've posted here" while I'm on a conference call.

If not, it won't be the end of the world...btw I found this thread by digging for this option in my control panel, as I remembered it got enabled and couldn't find it.

Yeah, there were unfortunately too many bugs.

As for flagging Exhibition, we prefer to keep that separate from EZ in as many ways possible. Practically speaking, this is to discourage users from viewing it in a similar light and then posting in such a manner. But beyond that, we view Exhibition as its own special area. It's much more than a place to go to see naked pictures. It is a display of the body as art, it is an outlet for members' eroticism, it is a place for voyeurs and exhibitionists alike. It is very important that we place it in Tilted Creativity and not the Erogenous Zone.

It's a shame the feature discussed in this thread was so buggy, because I do sympathize with the slight difficulty it presents. There's just not much that can be done while retaining the proper emphasis.

Oh, I absolutely agree. I was just asking if it could be flagged into the universal "do not show in new posts" on the similar basis that it is full of unlabled NSFW (sometimes behind rather generic thread titles). I assume it's technically feasible, since we have Nonsense flagged also...so I guess I should have really started a Tilted Suggestions post. I just wanted to ensure that everyone knew I was aware of prior art.

I wouldn't dream of suggesting it be moved to EZ...Having it moved to EZ is clearly not in keeping with the intention of the subforum.

I definitely clicked "It's been a while since I posted here" with coworkers less than 10 feet away....

It's technically possible, though doing so would, in effect, discourage (to some degree) participation in Tilted Exhibition, by nature of excluding it rather than including it.

I sympathize with the issue, but I can't say I like the idea of doing anything that would make Tilted Exhibition less visible to those who have access.

One suggestion: When at work, browse with images and attachments turned off (and avatars are a good idea too). That should take care of your risk management.

I understand the logic behind wanting to encourage (or at least, not discourage) traffic to exhib, but listen to yourself for a second: has there ever really been a problem getting traffic there, however? I mean, seriously? You feel like you have to 'lure' people to look at nude pics of our members? You must also admit that the incognitio and unlabled NSFW threads are more than a bit out of place amongst the rest of the search results.

Certainly an option, but seems like extreme overkill since the only forum with unlabled NSFW that shows up on 'new posts' is Exhibition. I used to have avatars turned off at work, but there aren't currently any frequent posters with NSFW avatars these days that post in in the discussion portions, plus the difference between a 80x80 picture of boobs and a 1280 x 800 picture depicting fellatio is not insignificant.

Before anyone says, I know I know, check which forum it is in before you click. I use the 'new posts' specifically so that I can participate in ALL discussions, regardless of my bias towards whatever subforum they happen to be in.

Nevertheless, unless a solution is adopted, I shall be more vigilant from now on, to avoid dickrolling myself in the future. Anyways, good talk.

yes, there has been a steady decline in exhibition, mostly by posters not posting themselves.

dickrollling... interesting
