Is it possible that we can get a prior note on NSWF file hosting sites? Opening this link led to a very NSWF gif repeat playing during the entire download. I would have downloaded later if I had known. Please be respectful that some of us are not downloading in private. **https://zonegfx.com/orestes-iray-hdri-skydomes-night-storms-repost-2/**
Most of us use some kind of adblock so we would have to disable that to check the hosting sites and I am pretty sure those sites dont display those nsfw ads 24/24, so even if we check there is a pretty good chance that there would be no nsfw ads at that moment.
I would instead recommend you to use adblock like most people to avoid that kind of trouble.My problem is that if you click on the link it downloads malware, you have to right click-save link as to get the file you want.
@techsnoop It's a bit random, a few ads can get through at Bunkr even if you use an AdBlocker. Tho it's a pretty fast and DMCA-proof host - btw it's original purpose was to share content from OnlyFans, soooo 😀
@queospera With uBlock Origin works fine without any additional downloads 😀 🙂I would prefer that I not get porn on my screen when customers or my grandchildren are in the room. Simple politeness to warn that there may be NSFW content on the site used to host files. This is not complicated. Warn users that they may get unwanted content so they can proceed accordingly. I use an adblocker and vpn and still got this so it is likely most people will see it.
All I asked for is a warning just like we use pic warnings. I did not ask anyone to use a specific host, just a POLITE warning message. I don't think this is unreasonable, unlike your dictating to me where I can download and your snarky reference to the cat. Don't be rude, it's not necessary. Don't enter the convo if you do not have something enlightening to add or a solution.
I think the issue is Bunkr. Probably just need to add the option for 'Bunkr' to show up instead of 'Other File Hosting'.
Then again I always thought mega was our expected file hosting, with sites like anonfiles, mediafire, google drive, would be used as mirror links. Kind of weird to see sites like bunkr being used as the main and only file host.I sympathize with techsnoop, but agree with ethiopia. Unless there's a groundswell of support for treating bunkr differently, techsnoop should just download when others aren't around. Seems simpler than recoding something or trying to enforce new rules on the uploaders. My 2¢
MY TAKE ON THIS ISSUE:
You guys realize that if we use the conventional hosting sites, thanks to 3DUK and RenderHub vendors relentlessly reporting the blog posts non-stop, we could simply throw our hands up and shut the site down. You guys know that you can buy a Privacy Screen Protector for every type of SmartPhone, Laptop, MacBook, or Flatscreen that prevents ANYONE from seeing what is on your screen (available at Amazon, Walmart, and most electronic stores), if you don't want to install AdBlockPlus or uBlock Origin to keep the popups, of any kind from flashing in your face...
We've found solutions to keep products UP and available for everyone here, and I don't think a silly NSFW boobie or sex-ad or viagra solution is anything new or disturbing. I usually don't see them because I do use AdBlockPlus and uBlock Origin to keep them out of my face.
Another thing - when the site was showing the download link site as "MEGA.nz" guess what? All the lovely copyright infringing Wrap-folks at RenderHub, like 3DUK, Bulgaria, RomFX and others who have accounts here, spent the points they have to get the MEGA link attached to their product, and then file a DMCA Takedown Notice with MEGA... Guess what? MEGA doesn't waste a second checking if the person claiming they own something actually owns it... they simply give the owner of the MEGA reported, a strike, and after 3 strikes they take your entire MEGA account down, whether you are a paying MEGA customer or not.
You can write MEGA in retaliation claiming they are copyright infringers and do not own copyright - but there is no one at MEGA going to take time to respond.
As a moderator, you cannot imagine how many of our users have been attacked for sharing such stuff that was ripped from games and the vendors attacked us for their copyright-infringing products they should not be allowed to legally sell.
But today, with all that is going on in the Art Communities with AI stealing millions of artists works, no one company is going to waste any time on this.
The brute force takedown stuff is annoying, but we found alternatives where the ownership of those alternatives won't touch or read DMCA Takedown Notices and are relatively untouchable. Which is why you are seeing Bunkr more often. Unfortunately, we cannot use TORRENTS here, or we would lose the site due to restrictions placed on its servers.
Summary: we are going to do everything possible to make sure products here stay up and are pretty much bombproof, and if the cost to everyone is seeing a couple porny banners, then do as we suggested and add the popup blockers and ad-blockers. And if they still pop-up, buy a screen shield so no one sees the stuff from the side of your position. They make them for laptops and for flatscreens.
I personally could give a rat's-arse about nude images, but I don't live in a place where nudity is an issue. So you need to take precautions to prevent your eyes from seeing something naked on screen. But it is simple and can be done. And - using OTHER SOURCES, not naming Bunkr or Mega.nz or Google or Mediafire directly forces those wishing to take us down, to spend points and get the files sources. And then they have to go contact those sources and hope they can get things taken down. Google and Mediafire require written proof of copyright ownership as far as I am aware. So it will take time, by then those files will have been propagated to hundreds of other share sites elsewhere, unrelated to us.
And lastly - I know for a fact, those vendors who bitch the most and try to take down their items have amazing numbers of points - from sharing and trading other vendors' assets...
So on one side defending their stuff and pirating everyone elses? Hypocrites.
Cheers,
