daniel l. Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I hate to be that guy but imgur frequently displays a certain amount of nudity and other content in its sidebars, I believe those pictures get eventually taken down but they do last a long time, Too long for comfort, I would like to suggest that while maintaining the use of imgur the forum should prohibit users from directly accessing the main page of the site, Allow embedded pictures and galleries but dont allow linking to imgur itself.

Reiterate what bf said. When i used to use google as a browser the first was r/r*******s and rather than fish through the other psuedolinks i would go through that and log into my imgur album page. I replaced google with duck-duck go and all those NSFW links onto imgur dissappeared. Unfortunately the porn is a large attractor to imgur viewers and porn is the most lucrative business on the net, i use a vigorus popup blocker to block alot of this stuff, but on my imgur album i see no adds. The nature of the net is what it is, if you read reddit, that which is the norm on most of their front pages is pretty much offensive to my generation. But the problem is if you hide from this you become a back row spectator to modern life, and you create a generation gap between yourself and younger people.

DuoDex Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 While Imgur does host adult content, such adult content is placed behind an appropriate age-wall which requires the user to state they are 18 years of age before it is displayed. This policy makes it an excellent place to host all sorts of images without fear of sudden attacks of pornography, and I see no reason why access should be restricted here. This thread has been locked, as it is unlikely to go further with appropriate content, and the mainquestion has been answered. Feel free to contact a moderator if you have further questions.
