Updated title for viewers who may be in very restrictive workplaces, per request from one such user.

May I ask what (very mildly NSFW) means?

 

[David A. Goldfarb]

"Not Safe For Work." "Mildly" meaning, some workplaces might tolerate no nudity at all, and posters should be mindful that there are people who work under those conditions, and even for a photograph like this, which is innocent and of artistic value, it would be a courtesy to include a warning in the title to allow others to decide before clicking on the thread.

This pic needs a caption "Weight Watchers 101."

In an era when a pulitzer prize winning photo from the Vietnam War can be kicked off Facialbook because it shows a terrified burning child who happens to be naked, anything is possible. we are fast becoming the world that Ray Bradbury predicted in "Fahrenheit 451."

I prefer "Not Suitable For Work".

I've been an employer. It can be hard enough to be responsive to the individual needs and preferences of employees, while still making money, without having to navigate the waters of differences in attitudes about nudity.

As long as an employer insists only that staff refrain from viewing nudity while at work I have no problem with the rule.

I am slightly surprised that non-work use of any computer system might be permitted at any time on business premises apart, perhaps, from a couple of internet machines in a corner of the canteen area. Workplaces are for working in, after all. A lot (all my recent ones anyway) of work-contracts have sections excluding personal use, which also disallow using the company wifi connection with a personal smartphone or tablet. And these things are logged of course.

In my company workers cannot talk about non-work related issues.

Some people work in fairly liberal workplaces with regard to internet use, personal or otherwise, and in some workplaces APUG might be work-related. Say someone teaches photography in a school with a darkroom. They may want to browse APUG, but the school could have restrictions about nudity. Generally it's a courtesy for the poster to post a warning, so that viewers can avoid awkward situations like this.
