(3,736 posts)should be smart enough to understand post containing nudity, extreme sexual content, and offensive words (and they should know what those are) should include a warning. A simple NSFW gives the reader the option to decide if they choose to read then or later in a more secure environment.
You may assume parenting sites are allowed if the company allows open access but if a prudish employee happened to see that picture on your monitor and reported it.... the site would likely be blocked. The person, whose computer the picture is on, could be in trouble. As for an employee being targeted, I've had supervisors come to me and ask me to obtain the records of employee computer's access from IT. I asked the supervisor to provide me in writing what his suspicions were.... he had been told the employee was accessing a sports site all day long (not banned). We didn't confront the employee, whose work was excellent... I refused. We sent out a communiqué stating that while accessing the net at work was allowed, to please refrain from excessive use and preferably only during breaks or while at lunch. I don't like hearsay without proof. We did not have another issue and prevented that employee from being embarrassed.
I did not say the poster would be responsible for the reader getting into trouble. I said the poster should be responsible to label any potential controversial material. The reader then has the option, and that's on them... but if they don't know, and they do open the post... they run the risk, no matter how slight, for having an issue.
It's courtesy....
