Just a thought: How about using CSS to show a block of color of the size and dimensions of an image that might be deemed "inappropriate" by popular standards of prudishness, with the ability to replace/cover that block with the image itself by clicking on it?
Yes, this is very much along the lines I've been thinking. Give em their figleaf. Figleafing should be configurable (on or off by default) and the user should be able to set his preferences by cookie, without logging in.
Exactly. We seem to be on the same wavelength.
This thought has actually been forming in the back of my brain over the course of the last three to five days without making itself consciously available to me. Only today did it arise as a fully-formed thought complete with the notion that, as a CSS solution, should admit a trivial implementation.
I'm convinced that to be properly implemented, however, it must be cookie-configurable by viewers not logged in from day one. Implementing such that we overshoot our goals of accomodating users in the direction of a pablumpedia would be a Bad Idea. Write the cookie code first, THEN write the CSS.
