Mountain Project or Porno Project?

By doing so, it no longer shows up in the "pictures of the moment" slide-show on the home page of mountain project. (Many thanks again to the maintainers of mountain project for providing this feature.) And now here's another picture to which I'll be giving one star... mountainproject.com/v/10637… I don't really find the picture that offensive at all, but it's not safe for work, and I don't appreciate running into these kinds of pictures all the time. Do we really have to upload this kind of crap? Am I the only one who feels this way? Let the flaming begin! :)I feel like we already had this argument a few year ago? Can't find the thread though, am I dreaming? |

If you want to see some porn just drive through Joshua tree... all those beautiful cracks. |

It is where Nick suggested that those with such sensitivities could use the one star feature to block what they didn't want to see. |

Many great works of art are of nudes. |

I'm staying out of this discussion, but... how many stars for this one? |

You are nearly alone. +15 for all of the mormon comments, lol. To OP: Grow up and stop crying - this is the internet. As others said, this is a climbing website. |

I don't get it. Who works in an environment where it is cool to slack off to MP but unacceptable to have an image of a women's back? It's artsy and far from porn. Patagonia's newest catalog has a naked couple covered only with 70m ropes and again it is not porn and a mainstream publication. I'd say instead of asking a climbing website with a well established cast of characters to be policed my themselves/mods to simply not check it at work. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I hope it didn't cause you any problems at work. |

This discussion has already been had and was originally brought up by the original poster. |
|
Maybe there should be a Porn Project, too, to go with all the other sites. |
|
Maybe the OP should change his user name to "Censorparkin". |

If you don't want to see the slideshow on the homepage, add the following CSS to your browser stylesheet. |

There is no obligation to be on mountain project when you are at work. I guess I don't see the issue. If you find content of a website, whether it's mountain project or otherwise, offensive or unfit for a work environment, don't log on.+1 And OP - you do realize we're all naked under our clothes, right? |

None of MP is work safe for me, because my job description involve getting paid to browse MP. |
|
more like porno project if you ask me. |
|
I think that picture is awesome because it shows something about the lightheartedness I like to associate with climbing and after climbing activities. |
