in general i think it's really disturbing that minors can get acces of images of death bodies in few seconds!

It already has a filter. Go to Preferences and set Safe Search.

First, it already has a filter, as TH stated and second, in years of googling, I didn't find a single offensive picture (sexual/gory etc) unless I searched for such images on purpose.

I just searched for Sydney weapon shield and on the first 6 pages there's no blown out brain. And no, I don't have the filter activated.

I confirm Smith's search results. I did see a cool Gundam model though. :thup:

EDIT: Wait, I had the first level filter on. See, the thing works. There is an even stricter one as well. You won't be able to catch a free glimpse of porn or dead bodies if you use the filters.

I've never found an offensive image on Google. Other search engines I've ran into include very offensive content. Nothing compared to Google's occasional girl in a bikini while using the image search when you look up an anime series or other character names (usually female).
But Google is as save as Internet save can be. The corpses can be rather educational, but if you're going to Google something violent or sexual, you're going to find something violent and sexual from mild to extreme. Just keep that in mind, Google is part of the Internet too.

>Maybe you should use google.com instead of google.dk
I didn't noticed that.

The picture does indeed appear if you turn off SafeSearch. Turn it back on and you're fine.

Your right, with safe search off you get that picture on the first page, but if safesearch is just on moderate you get nothing offensive at all.

    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences
