Inappropriate Facebook likes
I know that VideoSift tries to be at least minimally family friendly (marking videos NSFW, not allowing porn embeds, etc.) SO I was a little shocked when I noticed this today: On the right hand column between the top 15 posts and the Beggar's Canyon are the Facebook links to Videosift's Facebook page and a couple of pictures from profiles that have 'liked' Videosift.
Unfortunately, one of those profiles has their profile picture with a woman leaning in close to a rather outsized piece of the male anatomy. Thinking surely it must just be a joke and the small picture makes it hard to see what is really there, I decided to click through. Suffice it to say that it was exactly as I first perceived it.
I have no idea about stopping certain profile pics from showing up on the front page or 'unliking' a 'liker' but I thought I would bring it to the Sift's attention anyway.
If I knew how to attach a picture, or if that is even possible, I'd be happy to share the screen capture. Unfortunately, I stupidly navigated away from the page and it repopulated the section with random Facebook profiles and I hadn't noted the offending profiles name.

UsesProzac@aaronfr That violates Facebook's policies. I advise you start there. I'm not sure what VideoSift can do about a problem on Facebook. I'll report it for you via Facebook. You should follow suit and hopefully if that profile incurs enough reports, it will be removed.
If you block that individual and you're logged in with Facebook on VideoSift, I wonder if that would get rid of that particular individual for you. I doubt this problem occurs often, so you could attend to it on a case by case basis.
UsesProzac@aaronfr I thought it would please you to know this: http://i.imgur.com/JzTDNP7.png
When you visit the profile you linked, it's gone completely

I think it's pretty rare and Facebook jumps on these things. Apologies for the dongage and thanks for letting us know - definitely something to watch out for.

aaronfrThanks Barseps.
I don't use Facebook often, but my girlfriend also suggested that I report it through them. combined with @UsesProzac efforts, looks like that took care of the problem.
