FreeSVG community discussion forum

Hi Liftarn, thanks for your involvement in this discussion, and your contributions so far, you are one of the sites most valued community members and you oppinion as well as your help in other areas is greatly appreciated.

First I must start with this, I read the description for this book, and it appears to be satirical in nature, and as the description states it is for adults, not children.

I stand corrected and appear to be wrong about the emoji I probably should have fact checked but I am lazy, I checked my own phone prior to posting, which is fairly old now, and this does not contain this emoji, at lease not that I can see. One thing I will say though is that google they were late to embrace this, and only appear to have done so in response to public oppinion and also possibly due to IOS already supporting them, so by releasing them they are on a level playing field.

As I have stated if there is a solution that can be found that suites all, then this should consider in my oppinion, as it would be a shame for anything to be deleted:
"I share the same oppinion as yourself I would much rather serve the needs of the many, than cater to the few. But I think it may be possible to keep everyone happy if a solution can be found."

I have never written articals to wikipedia, but I assume some fact checking is done by someone other than the publisher of an artical so therefore the content is moderated, I have read what is written in the link you have provided and what they are stating appears to be a code of conduct, so basically they expecting publishers (editors) to self regulate themselves, in the same way this site operates to a certain extend.

Lastly, I am not going to link to this, but please search wikipedia for "the finger" the first couple of paragraphs explain all. And it's not suprising it was flagged as inappropriate given it's official published meaning.

I should come to my own defense by saying, I do not consider myself to be narrow minded as I always try to look for alternatives, and I think I am pretty accepting of others suggestions if they have value. And I am certainly not a biggot as I am currently aligning my views / oppinion with the community, if I were making the site just for me then I would have no objection to including everything, but this isn't in the community spirit.

It's not just about drawing clicks, although I am sure those do help, as it is partly an advertisement funded site. If this were the intention
then the case could be made that no moderation at all would bring in more visitors, sex sells after all along with anything else that is prohibited or restricted.

It's considered a rude hand gesture here in the UK, which could under some circumstances get you in a lot of trouble, I've known people lose their jobs for less. I think in this context it not that it's overtly offensive, it's because it's something that could be imitated by a child and used towards towards parents or teachers, which goes against social eticate, and if left unchecked could develop into further behaviour problems, if every time I met a person and they did this to me, my instinct might be to treat them as an outcast, so this is why children are conditioned with positive social norms, so they fit into society.

Of course the argument can be made that sheltering children from this type of thing has little effect, it certainly didn't harm me as a child but I understand the need to err on the side of caution, as we have all seen the aftermath of children that were socially isolated or rejected by society in some way, some people cope with it, others go off the rails and inflict harm on others.

Blown out of context, maybe but who knows for sure.

Point taken but keep in mind:
Yesterday I referred a user to the site from twitter, and soon after seen this comment appear in the flagged images panel, this was in relation to a provocative smiley image that had been posted to the site, looking at the users twitter profile they seem to have had a connection to a school board district of texas, which could have lead to thousands of unique visitors to the site, and who knows how many further contributions added, so yes it would be great to keep all images, and make them available to everyone, but there is consequences in doing so.

OK, not exactly explicit content, but we'd love to send students to this site. With a graphic like this, we, as a school district, can't recommend students using this site. BTW- such an awesome site! Thank you!

Seeing the new tags feature you added, where the tags submitted by the uploader are visible now and it's looking and performing well. There's a slight delay when you click on the tag as it searches the backend for similar tag but it's working the way it should. Cheers Gents.

Hi Liftarn, from what I understand the long term objective is to make the site completely child friendly with the help of community members screening so the hope is there should be no images or text deemed to be inappropriate, the new red button found at the bottom/side of each image named "report issues", is multi function, one of the options available is to report as in appropriate.

I am aware pixabay use a different mechanism for their site, as inappropriate images are omitted from view until the user accepts them, I doubt that method would be adopted by the webdevs as there would be little point in having such images.

Last I knew the webdevs were working on a policy for handling uploaders of inappropriate content, they mentioned possibly using a 3 strike policy: notify a user their image/s / text have been flagged as in appropriate and removed, given them the chance to reupload or change the content to make it more suitable for children, repeat offenders will be warned, then eventually removed, It was rough around the edges when first mentioned, so I am not sure how far they have got with it, or when / if it will be enforced.

Still it was a good idea though, keep them coming.

Hi liftarn, good find but I believe they already have a link to this under useful links on the home page, I don't think these tools are integrated within the site, where you could create a SVG from scratch and post it to the collection if this is what you mean, they are just links to the tools, handy for those that just want to carry out basic SVG manipulaton without having to install inkscape.

If you have examples of sites where these tools are fully integrated / embedded in the site to offer enhanced capabilities then I am sure the developers would be eager to take a look if you can provide them with links

Doesn't look like any lemming I've ever seen looks like bull or bison to me. more likely bull. I've came across this image in the past, it's part of a larger collection of cartoon animals i believe so it wouldn't suprise me if the author mixed the fileenames up, or ocal done this at some point maintaining the collection.

LOL - I love the attention to detail liftarn, it's a silhouette so it could be anything in my opinion, might even be a brush but if I were to hazard a guess my money would be on Echidnas due to the large snout, I only know this as I checked google.

We should put a vote out on twitter asking people what is it?, it's like one of those blue dress gold dress challenges.
