Has anyone ever gotten into trouble at work by clicking a "NSFW" picture in these forums?

I haven't, and am curious as to whether or not anyone has actually gotten into trouble by clicking a "NSFW" link from these forums.

Doubt it...most network supervisors rarely check what their employess are doing because they are probably doing the same things that can get them fired.

I had a friend who got in trouble for it. He just got yelled at from our boss.

Poll added.

There is such an outcry whenever a picture is not properly labeled "NSFW". When at work, I occasionally clicked on such links (marked or unmarked) at my own risk, but was never "caught" or disciplined for doing so.

Better to be safe than sorry.
Getting fired for looking at inappropriate material on the internet is quite depressing.

True, it's generally best to err on the side of safety.

Although sometimes, I just get too curious. :eek:

Was he fired for hacking, for accessing the pornography itself, or for a combination of the two?

I won't click links when I'm at work unless I'm certain the poster wouldn't link to anything NSFW.

I think it's better for all NSFW links to be labeled accordingly but I know there have been many which haven't.

About a year ago, I clicked on a pic that was not labeled NSFW. I got in trouble for it. It was borderline porn, it shouldn't have been posted in the first place.

After that experience, I wouldn't click on any links in these forums at work.

No, things are pretty relaxed at work just as long as no one from outside the office is in there.

Still your dumbass fault. I'm not saying its never gonna happen, but own up to what you did.

It would be one thing if you were looking up local daycare centers for your child and found hidden porn. But if your browsing an "off topic" website with links like "OMFG CLICK HERE", odds are against you.

Not from this forum, but I'd probably get fired if I ever clicked on some of Fark's NSFW links at work :)

Probably not sharing with the boss.
