Morgaine's dashboard

Yes, my page is set to +18, because I blog images that could be considered erotic from time to time, and import the blog entries to my fan page. Any way around this from your side?

I have the same problem on http://blog.morgaine-lefaye.net

I'm sure I added the page ID. In fact, I chose to add a link to my fan page in the community application of the toolbar, and that works correctly.

No idea of how to fix this.

Love that idea ! Would be even cooler if I could see latest comments etc. on things I posted on those social networks. Guess that's only a dream for now, if only for data portability issues.

I also want to set the width of the bar, it doesn't look right as is. It's not page wide, and not blog wide so to speak, but somewhere in between, which looks kind of sloppy.

I edited the CSS, adding

#content {
width: 600px;
}

to it. That helped.

What is the current stance on certain users' posts not appearing on the front page?

And, please, reinstate my admin status for my other group as well. I created it quite a while ago, but then noticed it was public, and I didn't see a way to make it a private group. Thank you in advance. – Morgaine, on August 16, 2009 20:19

Ewww, same thing happened to me, when I wanted to change the lay-out of the newly created http://corsets.soup.io/ and accidentally hit the wrong button. I agree, one shouldn't be able to de-admin oneself, at least not so easily.

Thanks Andreas, for making it work again, and for explaining what the problem was. I'm glad it's fixed :-)

Christopher, I consider the specific complaint you linked to bogus (not necessarily per se, but in the context of this discussion, more on that in a bit). I had seen it shortly after it had been posted and it made me curious, so I used the endless view of the main www.soup.io page to scroll through hundreds and hundreds of post, approx. 24 hours' worth of them, and found exactly _one_ user who'd posted quite erotic nude pix, but no genitalia or hardcore stuff. Apart from those, there was _one_ case of full frontal nudity; that one was a drawing, though. All other naked creatures I'd seen were animals, mostly cats. Now obviously not every day is exactly like this, and Morgaine posted stuff that sometimes went a little bit further, so, yes, there is a chance people will see stuff that offends them. It's a _small_ chance, of the kind of magnitude where automatic filtering doesn't really help and semi-automatic filtering isn't all that effective either. But the actual reason why I said that one complaint is bogus is that you certainly don't get "dozens and dozens of nudes" in your soup, unless you're subscribing to the 'wrong kind of friends'. If you'd like them to change, you'll have to talk to them, not to soup. Which is probably the intent behind gem's post anyway.

There _is_ a more significant number of picture posts that show a lot of skin on soup, but then the same is true of Vienna bus stops. No big deal IMHO.

Are you really sure this filtering limits your legal liability; did you check with a lawyer/expert? I understand that in many common situations, it's worse to redact content and let off-limits stuff slip through than not doing any redacting at all. Also, it might help to lay out the rules of what is and isn't allowed on soup and make the existence and URL of that document obvious to people signing up.

I think a system for flagging content as 'mature' is a good idea. You might even use your copious spare time (j/k) to implement this on two levels: People voluntarily flagging their own posts as appropriate, and people flagging _other_ posters' stuff. In your options, you could then choose a level of protection: self-flagged only, flagged by one (or more) of your friends, flagged by anyone. Of course in another dimension there are also two levels: filtering per post or per postER. Lots of work, I'm afraid, so I can totally understand that it'll take a while and that you chose to take interim measures.

In the long term, though, I'd like the unpublicised stealth censorship to stop. And once the flagging feature is in place, please don't call it 'NSFW'. I suppose most people who use the term attempt to do so tongue-in-cheek, but it's still ripe with cowardly hypocrisy. I'd choose 'mature'. I assume you'd want to make this opt-out rather than op-in; if so, please make it clear to new users who sign up (plus the currently registered ones) that it is there and can be changed. Not everyone checks the preferences dialog regularly.
