Staff MattP Posted October 30, 2014 Staff Share Posted October 30, 2014 We've had a query about what is viewed as 'acceptable' content, and what our stance on it is. This topic is one which is typically fairly volatile because everyone is so different and what is acceptable for one person, can be shocking or inflammatory to another. We don't want everyone to feel cautious about what they click, just in case they are faced with something they'd rather not see, but we also don't want to discourage people from sharing the amazing work they've been creating, so... We think the simplest, clearest thing to do is: If you think your image could in any way be described as controversial... - Start a new topic with an appropriate title - Upload your image to a sharing site (Flickr, Behance, Instagram, etc) - you can even use the 'Share' link in the app's File menu - Write a proper description of your work in the body of your post and add a text link to the image you have shared Now, if people think they'd be offended, they just don't have to click the link and they won't see it at all.

Staff MattP Posted October 30, 2014 Author Staff Share Posted October 30, 2014 Plus, I figure that it's actually a way to get people to visit the artist's Behance/FlickR/Instagram page and maybe take a look around and see what else they like! :) ElleGee, silverdust, KhaMally and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CartoonMike Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Excellent point, Matt! The implementation is thoughtful and doesn't censor anybody. It treats everyone as adults. Thanks for that.

ZVK Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 At some point, will AD have a page like behance? It will be cool, because for example dribble is pretty awesome but you have to get invited and behance is for adobe users. And the share forum is fine but it's a little bit limited.

peter Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 A few stats for your information. My Pins look like this... AD Pinterest board pins: 50 pins with 24 followersPublic information (Films) posters meets the eejits. George's hard work and talent with the drawing and my copy/text input: 5 pins with 7 followersAs I've said elsewhere, this lil ol' acorn is gonna grow into a mighty fine oak y'all. So I feel that it's my pleasure and duty to showcase my favourites and this makes me feel proud to be part of the AD community.

Staff MattP Posted January 26, 2015 Author Staff Share Posted January 26, 2015 If I used Pinterest, I'd follow you too - I just have a 'thing' about sites that badger me to join! If it let me just browse and do whatever I felt like in a non-intrusive way, I'd probably enjoy it and join up, but the fact that it nags me to sign up/login at every single page makes me angry enough that I'm determined to not join up, even though I want to! I'm sure there's a saying about this including the words 'nose', 'spite' and 'face'... ;) Vaz, peter and Alfred 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I do not have an online presence, apart from this forum of course; Pinterest seems like a least worst option. Compared to Deviantart.com, it does seem like a sell out. So compromises aside, I'll consider you a honorary follower. peter I'm now on STRAVA.com Edited July 17, 2015 by peter Alfred and MattP 2 Quote MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
