Hey Jay, yes, I noticed it as well. It was inevitable, I am actually surprised it took this long..
So here's the plan we have, for now. In a few months we'll probably add more features. I have given this some thought over the past months, and there is a balance: I want mefeedia to be an open directory, which means we don't censor feeds (except in extreme cases of hate speach and such...), not even porn. The best example of a feed I don't want to censor is Richard's (MAdge Weinstein), which is sometimes very good, and a great videoblog, but also could be called pretty nasty porn, sometimes. So: if we don't want to censor, but we do want to protect, what do we do? While surfing Mefeedia, the shock I get is from seeing the thumbnails. It's just not nice to see a thumbnail of some naked guy if you're not expecting it. Bad experience. So I have decided to, for porn feeds, *not* to show thumbnails in the website. The feeds are still there, you can still subscribe to them. But the pictures are hidden: so you can browse the website and you won't see any naked people. I think that's a good first step. It's a careful step. I am very conscious of not wanting to censor people's feeds. But I think this will help. It should be live in about a week. Any comments?
