Exclamation Nude Photos

So i want to get everyone's opinions regarding the various nude photos present in our image gallery. I don't know about you, but when i'm at work i'm on the forum a lot. I don't really feel comfortable with pictures of a naked woman popping up on my screen all the time while i'm working. I was thinking they need to be removed.

Any thoughts? Also, please vote above.

In addition, this is solely regarding the awkwardness of when these pictures appear. This does not reflect my opinion on censorship, and/or female nudity. :-)

While the nudity does not bother me personally, and I am against most all forms of censorship, I often view this site at work or in other social situations which makes seeing these pictures awkward at times.

Since I don't think you can keep certain pictures from showing up on the top of the forum, I have voted to have all these pictures be removed/banned.

I voted no as they don't just randomly appear on every page of the forum, you have to visit a specific page, so it's up to you to avoid this page when it can be embarassing.
I never even saw them.

Oops sorry, I just noticed they are on top of the main page. Never realized they were there! Well, I already voted, and then I don't think it's much of a problem a few pic on hundreds. Then it's so easy to scroll the page down

Funny how no women complained about the nude pictures.

I hadn't even noticed them, and I personally wouldn't find them offensive as I've photographed quite a few nudes myself. But there's a time and a place for everything.

I haven't noticed any nude pictures. I get pictures of food and landmarks on top of the page.

I'm not bothered by nude pictures. I was the freak back in the USA because I never saw what the big deal in nudity was.

However, I agree it's not appropiate for random nude pictures to pop up while you are at work. I'm a housewife with no children yet so if there are random nude pictures popping up I'm probablly not noticing them.

Is there a way for people to post the nude pictures without the nude pictures randomly showing up on top?

I don't mind them at all, they're done tastfully and very natural. When you visit the beaches in Europe you see all kinds, and these are much better than seeing the huge German woman go topless!
If you don't want to see them just refresh your screen and new ones will replace them. I vote yes.

As someone who lives in Germany, I'd be interested to know what you are basing your facts on.

There where many more nude pictures in the past. Several have been eliminated and I did not notice any recently. Well the best way would be to mark them as adult ( even though they are all only nudes ) and remove that from the random images.
I don't know if I can do it now but soon I will do it.
PS What I find interesting is that the model looks in her 20s but she was actually 42 when you took the pictures.
