NSFW VIDEOS AND PHOTOS ON TABLET

[SeaMollux]

the tablet itself made this game NSFW, ever since the tablet update, public server hosts goes to explicit websites and so on.
one day i went to a server with kids watching explicit videos, pls fix it so it will be a user friendly game for every ages, ty

You do realize you are calling any internet browser NSFW?

[Gerk]

A dialog box should pop up when someone wants to open a site.

If it doesn't for you, you should look into that.

[Gandorques Hikla]

The fact that you can easily set NSFW Content as Backround, Card and Table Image makes this NSFW.
The game doesnt even ask you before downloading, so the Tablet is the least you should worry about.
Thats the price to pay for modding flexibility.
Even in Half-Life and CS people spray such content onto walls, and you cant do anything about it.

Just report the hosts by Steam and by an email to the devs. There are already rules about NSFW content in public rooms in both the game and Steam, but as the game is a sim and 100% up to the users in how the game plays everything is up to them. And over the internet that always leads to porn, always.

BUT, in locked rooms anything goes as that is no longer public grounds and should be treated the same as a locked door. Even if the key is easy to find.

Just report and move on. Plus you shouldn't get so worked up over these things. Humans are not more than animals and if you are disgusted by the human body then you have bigger problems than a game. I may not want to see ♥♥♥♥♥ flapping around, but Im not going to hate them as I got one and don't want to loose it.

I understand your concern, I would be offended too, if I came into a random room and they had some video playing I didn't like, but censorship is not the way to go. You should start a game group of like minded people, then setup dates to play TTS together, not everyone on TTS is using it to show that kind of stuff and if they are, they have the right to do so, as long as they do it in a private server, and if they don't, you have the right to report them.

Get a thicker skin

[Treiskaideka]

well, there are probably a lot of people who find this behavior offensive. Maybe you can find some passwort protected server that are hosted by responsible people .

But I'd be surprised if there isnt a mod anywhere which would allow you to disable the tablet...

This is why it prompts with a confirmation box before loading tablets spawned by other players. Most adult sites have extremely obvious URLs.

[Knil]

As Mora said do not accept the confirmation box on public servers if you wish to avoid nasty stuff on the internet.

[Roninlord]

There is a pretty easy solution for situations like this, here it is:
1) Disconnect
2) Block the host

To be fair, in those games (IIRC) the content is hosted on Valve's servers and as such they're the ones under fire if they let some idiot upload rubbish onto their servers. They also process it, rather than transmitting a simple URL, and likely (or should be able to) run algorithms to detect illegal and NSFW material.

When the FBI shows up knocking at your door after your ISP mentions to them (or they simply notice in their own surveillance) that your computer is downloading from dozens of known child pornography URLs in a ten second interval because you stumbled upon some pervert's (or just a swatter's) server, and find a directory on your computer loaded to the brim with such, do you really think they're going to believe you when you blame Tabletop Simulator?

What about when TTS loads your computer with dozens of viruses because your idiot friend caught malware from some shady server which covertly replaced all of his mods' content URLs with malware payloads?

The magnitude of the security flaws I see in Tabletop Simulator's custom content are, frankly, startling. At very least, it ought to be possible to restrict your client's content downloads to a set of trusted services.

Thats exactly the problem I meant, for the game a url is a url and its downloading onto your drive, you dont know what you download before its finished.
Filtering specific websites will decrease the freedom of modding, wich brings us back to the old security vs. freedom debate. :-/
Maybe the pictures could be uploaded to the Steam Servers first.

[Rex]

Why not implement a filter of some sort in the options? Some type of parental controls setting would be nice, many browsers too have this option and it might not be too difficult to make. Users can add custom links to block list, this way they wont see any content from that website (even if it's shown on another) and what not. There might even be some form of mirror that this game can use as a reference for what sites to block. It could also look for key words and warn users the page might not be appropriate or nsfw.

[Benargee]

Parental controls simply do not work with online gaming. If you want a safe experience, play in private games with friends. There is a reason why game rating boards do not rate online games. If you block the tablet, you will still have people drawing ♥♥♥♥♥ on the table. It really isnt up to the developer to fix this. The only thing they can do is warn you of potential NSFW content.
