A quick note on image thumbnails by skruluce

Whether you're going to make your own thumbnails for submissions, or crop them using Weasyl's thumbnail tool, can you please make it all-ages appropriate, please?

I am a pervert, don't get me wrong. Check my gallery and faves if you don't believe me. But when I go to the front page of this (and frankly any furry art site), there's usually a wall of dicks, tits, vaginas, and several other body parts that generally aren't on display in a public setting. And while these are omitted when one is logged out of the site, provided the image rating is accurate, if you do what I do, you usually leave your account logged in.

When it comes to making your own thumbs, mark it NSFW, mark it with the type of adult content, pixelate the bits you put in the thumbnail, but don't blatantly show them. It reflects negatively on the site as a whole when people unfamiliar with it (or the community) visit. This is not, ostensibly, a porn site, and neither are FA or Inkbunny, but you wouldn't know it by seeing the front page of them.

Not only that, if you are drawing porn, why would you want to show off the sex, the tits, dicks, etc. in the thumbnail? Don't give away the prize before anyone plays the game! Show just enough to tease your audience, and not only will you keep from giving away the best parts of your images, you'll look like the more clever artist for it.
