Fortunately, the Powers That Be, didn't need my vote to come up with a FANTASTIC NEW BAREBACK CATEGORY PICTURE. :cheers:  All I can say is, "WOW! Well done! Great new icon!"  :urock:

Special thanks to Cumeaternc for cumming up with the new alternatives  :bighug:, and to Mgr for starting this thread and poll. :thankyou:

I think it would be safe to say that the Bareback Icon went from worst to best! :mb2:

oh well the picture didn't post like I had hoped, and I don't know how to edit it, so please delete this post.

…

I don't like the Category pics for "Anal" or "Solo" either, and it's been annoying me for some time, the anal one looks like a man fucking a woman and needs changing. The solo one looks like a very red/sore bent ugly skinny dick. I would much rather both of these also changed. The current bareback one is by far the worst pic though.

as I wrote before: where are the suggestions for new pictures ???

@iniq:

…
anyway thats my 2 cents   :police:  >:D    ::)

could be easy to even add more worth than 2 cents   >:D

How long is the voting for this poll open mgr? It appears that everyone that cares to vote, has already.(All 17 of us…lol)

Patience, cumeater.  We've had a surge in the voting process.  Now up to 18.  :cheers:

@cumeaternc:

It hasn't stopped anyone yet.

Then I'm confused as to the rationale for making a change, because if the category picture and its wording have—according to you and danijelr15—worked so well before, why are they being changed now?

The rationale for making the change is that the current bareback icon has nothing to do with bareback.  It's a creepy mustache guy.  The proposed new icons have actual pictures of bareback sex.

@Spintendo:

Another question: By all appearances the font now used in the categories seems to match each other. I don't see that font represented in the new choices, which means that categories font will not appear as the others do. If the reason is to change the picture, why is the font also being changed?

Will this new font now be used on all of the other categories?

You are correct in that most of the torrent category picture fonts are the same.  None of the newly added ones are though. I personally made the Comic & Yaoi icon and it is a different font. The voyeur icon was made by another mod and it has a different font.  The books & magazines icon is not only a different font but a different color.

They are different fonts, not because we wanted to change them but because we just didn't know the font used on the other icons.

It hasn't stopped anyone yet.

@Uwe:

@cumeaternc:

This is now affectionately called Picture #6.

I changed my vote from #2 to #6.

To be fair though, I have snatched some Russian,French and German language torrents. I often have to turn the sound down because not understanding the dialog between sex scenes impedes on my "happy time". So I do understand why you asked the question.

I hear ya.  Many times I wish there were subtitles, but then I think "What makes me so special as an English speaker?"  If they had to provide subtitles for every language, they'd have to charge us so much more for the extra effort.  Oh…wait....  ;D

But seriously, I doubt many of the ones made in America provide French, Spanish, Russian, etc subtitles.

Is there any specific reason why English is to be used? Doesn't that ignore, or at least complicate, searches made by members for whom English is not the predominate language?

It hasn't stopped anyone yet.  All of our torrent category titles are in English and have been all the years I have been on here. I would also say that 95% if not more of our torrent titles and descriptions are in English.

Besides, it's not like bareback is some scientific word that users can't understand.

Or see that a cock is pointed toward an ass sans condom.

Morticia…I love it when you speak French.  ;D

Wouldn't a symbol that is not language specific work best, perhaps something like this?
