@Conrad Birdie: I don't have much of an opinion one way or another on the topic here. But having direct knowledge of workplace harassment cases of the sort you're mentioning, I'll just note that you should really stop giving out what sounds like some sort of legal advice here because you evidently have no idea what you're talking about. Very little is "simple" in employment law, and this issue in particular is very much not the clear-cut thing you're making it out to be.
If that is liberal minded, heaven help us.

Are you taking the mick!? There's a couple of clues to my post laughing with you rather than preaching... the smiley being the most obvious!If I can laugh at myself, perhaps you can find it within yourself to laugh with me. No need to preach to me, I have much stronger values in life than to act upon any lustful thoughts. Fair enough?I rather hope that there is a distinction between lust and merely appreciating physical beauty; for although all sins are forgiven one is required to repent first. Fat chance!
As to you not wanting to be preached at, this coming from someone that says - "Heck, some religions even teach that 71 virgins await an act of killing the infidels. Can you say, BRAINWASHED?"
And you say that I'm preachy? See you in hell, Conrad! :-D

Oi! Not getting a contract renewed is very different to losing your job thank you very much! ;-)
I've no trouble with the pic, just don't want to have trouble with work. It's not semantics; there's a small but significant difference there.

Based on your above words, you appear to be saying you have direct knowledge that would dispute my words, yet you did not disclose your expertise. Usually when one disputes a claim or comment, they offer up proof of their words. In this case you simply state you have "direct knowledge of workplace harassment cases", but you did not disclose the laws to us. Perhaps you are saying it is more complex than what I disclosed, and if you are, and you are not ready to offer up an opinion, then perhaps you should let those who ARE indeed ready to offer their opinions. Fair enough? Either that, or share your "direct knowledge" and support it. I am always willing to listen, if you are willing to divulge more facts. After all, this is the discussion at hand, right?

Oh yeah, I must have misread the quote about "all sins are forgiven, but one is required to repent first". That surely wasn't preaching, was it?Are you taking the mick!?

No need to preach to me, I have much stronger values in life than to act upon any lustful thoughts.

Are you saying that you believe that 71 Virgins will indeed be awaiting those who commit acts of violence against the infidels? Are you saying that you do not consider that a form of brainwashing? I do, regardless of what you believe. It is the worst form of brainwashing, so I stand 200% behind my words. I am also glad you took the time to read some of my posts. Perhaps you have learned something of importance.
I do NOT believe in hell. Not one bit. So, if you planned on seeing me there, (your "see you in hell" comment) you are on your own.
On top of that, and worse yet, you just made my ignore list. I do not want to converse with people like you in these forums. Have a great rest of your life.

And to think some purists despise the use of smilies because it's too obvious the writer has made an attempt at humour or light-heartedness ;-)

If your boss fires you for looking at that then he's not the sort of boss you want to be working for.

This image does not make me lust. Is there something wrong with me? The OP had better not hang out at too many beaches, or for that matter my neighborhood on a Saturday Night. Poor guy would go bannana's...
Nudity in and of itself is not lewd - Now this shot of a young ladies two dogs, is "lewd."
Those dogs are "hot!"

Uh, it real simple. Don't look at a photo website at work. I used to listen to Howard Stern many years ago when he first began to broadcast in Philly. My boss hated him and I was not allowed to listen at work. I didn't like the idea, but at least I knew his standards....and it was his company. How about you find out just what the guidelines are for you current workplace and then make a choice. Blaming DPR for your potential issue seems a bit silly.

I have examined the photograph and determined that it is most likely of a female human - not some alien beast.Are certain that rather than "freaking out" your children didn't call you a freak?

Hmm... armchair psychoanalyst vs armchair webmaster...
Stop telling DPReview how to run their site and enforce their own rules and policies, and no one will say how backwards you are. It's simple as that.
If you weren't really backwards, you would have called for a change of the rules/policies, instead of using the existing rules/policies as a way to get the photo banned.
BTW, a photo of a nude woman is not "sexual content". The term "sexual content" refers to certain activities. A nude by itself is not necessarily "sexual". Do you think of sex when you look at the statue of David, or when you look at a painting of an ancient Greek deity? I hope not...
Seriously? Somehow someone's NSFW-concerned posting because an attack on "religion."
This was said to the hypocritical teachers of the day, who were loading laws upon laws on the common folks, while enjoying their privilege of position. The warning was (as it always was) about their heart condition, not just outward actions. That is, it's not enough to meet a set of laws, but why are you acting in that fashion.
The other meta-point (which many posters here have alluded to) is that we CAN'T be perfect. One poster said "then I commit adultery every day" which is also part of the point. We can't be redeem ourselves through our own efforts.
But's it's always easy to pull something out of the files of ignorance and throw it up there for a flame gram.
I refuse to wed myself to any of these vendors. I'm just having fun taking pictures,
and watching the technology develop.

It's clear from my posts that I'm well aware of my workplaces rules. Are you responding to someone else?
I haven't blamed dpreview. I take it you are responding to someone else.

No, I was responding to you. Ok so you know the rules at work...how hard is it to follow them? DPR as well as any photography site has the potential to offend and at the very least contain art that may NBSFW. Even a news paper site could have articles that are not appropriate for work. I'm not seeing any difference. Frankly, I would rather my staff look at art then surf for sports scores and gambling odds. Talk about a waste of time.
