when should an 'adult photo' classification be used ?
have recently posted a pic, of a guy lying on a settee in a jockstrap, although i know not really showing much - still put it under adult classification as i know there are quite a few minor members here,and may offend some. my question is when should it be used, is there normally a guideline, or it just a matter of taste ? thanks for yer repiles in advance stuart
take it that means, play it by ear or whatever lol, total nudity is a no no then , just dont want to offend anyone and know different people have different sensibilities, thanks for commenting stuart
With levels of nudity, I tend to go with the reaction, "what could be put on a billboard in the city centre?" many of my images contain levels of nudity but very few of them with an adult tag. The other subjects I have censored in the past are scenes depicting drug use and violence. Both of which I have marked adult although I often get questioned to why this is. I put this up without an adult tag following the above criteria, but it ending up being tagged, so I guess someone somewhere thought it was too risque.
hadnt thought of it that way rab, mine certainly aint adult if you put it like that 
Ash one of those things i have seen images in everyday life depicting that pose and yep think it is adult, unfortunately things like that are everywhere, but does that make it right? stuart

Yep, I agree with your own thoughts on this. There's enough lowering of standards across this country in everyday life - TV, on the street, music, school,etc,etc. As you say, just because its all around doesn't make it right. Discretion should be everyone's watchword, and "If in doubt, tag it out"

As I don't have kids or have kids around me, if I were to self-censor then as a guideline I'd probably think about what was generally acceptable within society and use that as my yardstick. Unless you have your own agenda and your own kids to look out for I don't think you can do fairer than that. So as far as I'm concerned your image is fine.
As a parent I'd say - get good 'nanny' software on your PC and monitor what your kids are doing. From a personal viewpoint, once my kids got to secondary school age I think they'd probably accessed most of the sorts of images they're likely to encounter on this site already!! There are many more frightening things than epz (which is monitored) - have you seen the forums most of them will have access to???? And as far as the image Ashley identified, I'm sure most kids at primary school will have seen this already..... or am I mis reading and was it an ironic comment?
I agree with Dinda, the adult content on is so tame that the adult rating is more of a PG rating rather than an 18 or a XXX. If you let your kids use the internet unsupervised then I think that the least of your worries is a photo of some bloke in his pants or holding up his middle finger.
