Why are people viewing, trolling, or posting on QBN while at work anyway? Why should someones employeer be paying for someone to troll during work hours anyway?

meh.. just pass the denim thread - nothing to get in a tizzy about, really. I mean, sure - it's a little immature and sexually-frustrated posting shit like that, but it's hardly nsfw.

Agree with the original post in this thread. There should be ample warning for material which is NTFW. I visit this site to keep current in the design community, and because I work in a graphic design office, I view this site at work. Keep the soft porn to yourselves.

- Again, the assumption that the internet should be made "clean" for your at-work perusal, it's silly.NONEIS
- Thing is though, this isn't a porn site. People should stop treating it as such.Scotch_Roman

Just because you spend all of your time here, and waste any time that you might have or find at work to, not work, it does not mean this site, or it's users should conform to you. There is some serious megalomania on display in this thread, get over your needs, it's the beauty of the internet that there just might be something here you WONT like. I mean, so you REALLY think that because you waste your time here while working on your employers computer, that the whole internet should start "respecting" your opinions, and expectations?

i hope this works

(above) ...not the whole internet, only the members of this community - which is a DESIGN community, btw, not a soft porn site.
- So you actually think QBN is different from the rest of the net huh...NONEIS
- noneis, I think you should read what bpostra wrote here.Meeklo
- P.S. the community died in 2000 - along with the web.NONEIS
- Meeklo, I think you should read what I wrote below here.NONEIS
- Done! now please read what bpostra posted here :)Meeklo

It's a principled issue, nobody is arguing for PORN, just against the assumption that this site should conform to your specific expectations.

Design attracts people here, but the freedom to post outside of that genre is what has lead teh QBN to become what it is today. So many other strictly design sites bore me to tears, this place is a fuckin' melting pot of typography, tits, news, sports, jokes, idiots, etc. and I love it. Sometimes I do keyboard shuffle in order to close the browser window when something like 500px wide testicle images show up in threads like "show your bag" while I'm browsing, but that's kind of what I expect these days.

i am internet famous because i posted a trite pun in the bag thread about half an hour after it would have been funny.

i wish to make amends. i have just jarred a batch of homemade jams and jellies. they are exquisite. i shall have to share some with you.
hang on i have a picture somewhere...

its not about conforming to my specific expectations, is a matter or respect, if you read carefully we have no problem to keeping the NSFW thread alive or chick of the day etc (I have contributed to both, and I'm all for it) but there is times were "you call it wasting time on our employer computer" we call it "asking for critiques on our work, or discussing solutions to a problem with type or a software application, maybe wanting to hear opinions on a specific industry service by like minded industry people".
I dont like having threads ruined because 3 or 4 trolls that do nothing to positive contribute here, usually take it too far.
Let them post their cock photo collection if they want, we encourage them to keep doing it, and please you go ahead and keep collecting them on your harddrive by all means.
All we ask is the choice to put these 3 clowns on ignore, so we don't have to deal with stuff we dont like, and we can still be active on this site.
Are you seriously that narrow minded that you don't think we have the right to choose not to have a photo of a crackhead blowing a bum during a "please critique my portfolio thread"?
- bpotstra0
Amen to above.

'Are you seriously that narrow minded that you don't think we have the right to choose not to have a photo of a crackhead blowing a bum during a "please critique my portfolio thread"?'
but what if that photo was the prefect summation of said portfolio?
- it wouldn't though would it.mimeartist_limited
- HAHAHAHAHAHAHA7point34
- then do this:
NSFW----> (post on the comments)Meeklo - um, i should probably also do this

So you don't think that your perception of "respect", is based on your "expectations" of what is "respectful"? Like I said before, it's not about PORN, it's about your perception that any content type should be controlled based on what you deem ok. I don't like staring at testees in the a.m. either, but I also don't think a thread on QBN holds enough clout to be treated as something that can be "ruined", that I find funny ;D
- i too like to have had my lunch before perusing teste photos.skt
- then you have the option of not adding them to the ignore button,
done! next topic.Meeklo - unless you prefer we conform to your unique perceptions, instead of giving everyone a voice, which in that case I could compare that with fascism :)Meeklo
- compare that with fascism :)Meeklo

Here's the bottom line - 9 times out of ten the offending pic, whether it be tits, gay sex or a monkey chewing its balls, is not even funny.
I LOL at many things on this site but almost never those. So what's the point?
- My point would be, lighten up, the ugly mess that is the internet includes that crap.NONEIS
- So therefore we have to post it all the time?ukit
- I think I'm the opposite. I LOL at 9 out of 10 of those picsPoint5
- Wait a minute, you didn't LOL at the monkey chewin on his balls pic? It was in an anti-Llyod thread, so it was fitting.Point5
- No, but you should expect it is all, and perhaps NOT visit QBN during work hours if it invokes fear...NONEIS
