Orble News - April 2008

Family Friendly Setting

April 28th 2008 11:46

There is a new setting with which you can specify if a post is "family friendly" or not on the post creation and editing pages. As a guideline, if you would not like the post to be shown to your 7 year old nephew, please specify it as not family friendly.

Ads will still be shown on non-family-friendly posts as usual and they will appear on the Orble home page. The only difference is that they will not be listed in the popular Orble posts section in the menus of blogs which specify that they do not wish them to be displayed.

If you do not want non-family-friendly posts displayed on your blog menu then you can specify this on your blog's "Settings" page, "List Only Family Friendly Posts".

As always feedback is welcome.

Thanks,
Jon.

Nice work. That should appease at least one person I can think of on Orble...

It's a good idea. At least it will give those that only want to see G-rated posts the opportunity to filter.

Suits me just fine, let's hope it works well in practice, I think you will be hard pressed to get some writers to respond appropriately but I'll take up the options for me as soon as I have a chance.

Hopefully that will free me of the far too many indecent exposures assailing our eyes and often for a prolonged period of time.

For as many people those things attract there are others who are deterred and that number is going to increase in the future.

Thanks for attempting to address this problem although I still feel such posts belong elsewhere, not here.

That way I would not find it necessary to take any action.

Jon, I think each user should have an option to turn off all the sidebar images. Maybe that'd be better?

Is it possible to have ONLY non-family-friendly posts displayed on your blog menu?? I would really much prefer the smut to be quite honest...

Maybe a new category called the smut zone should be created ; a category that you need to sign a confession that you are or want to be a perv and an affirmation that you are old and rational enough to know the difference before being allowed to enter.

Then an admission fee can be charged, and spam Trojans in shiny wrappers can be used to attract more perv's . . .

Feed the need, and make the money . . . where's my duct tape, my brain is killing me.

Do posts that have been flagged mature content show on the home page and if not how do people see them? I'm thinking of posting something that may have to be flagged mature (maybe) and I'm worried that if I do nobody will know it's there. Does it show if you have your family friendly settings off or are you just cast into the wilderness?

Cheryl, a mature post is not indexed on the home page. For people to see it, they have to go to your blog and THEN click on the title. I think it's a good system - I wish more people would use it, actually.

Jon, I'd like to know what action someone could take if they weren't happy that this issue was resolved? As per katyzzz's comment?

I'm not advocating porn should be a part of Orble or anything that extreme, but knowing the parameters would be helpful.

Cheryl -- If something is flagged as Mature it won't be shown on the Orble homepage as Cibby says. homepage.

Roughly:

Family friendly = G rated
Mature = AO rated -- probably a little worse than that.

Mature posts will not appear on the Orble homepage or on the menus of any other blogs.

Family Friendly posts will appear on other blogs unless they have the family friendly setting turned on.

Tracy -- if you think a post should be flagged as non-family friendly (and it has not been) then send me a PM and I'll have a look.

Jon, I think there is an image there that should be marked NFF, it is one about sleeze, I am still getting the picture.

Can you check it out and advise all of us please.
