Was ist in den letzten 12 Monaten passiert? Anfang 2010 begannen wir, ein Inhaltsbewertungs-System zu entwickeln, um Minderjährige vor ungeeigneten Inhalten zu schützen. Währ…

[FR] Version en français Hello everybody It has been a long time since our last message. We wrongly believed that no news were needed if no new service or improvement was released on ipernity. It was a mistake. So please accept our sincere apologies. What has happened over the last 12 months? Early 2010, we started the development of a new content rating and filtering system aiming to protect minors from inappropriate content. As we work on this project we realized that we shou…

[EN] English version Chers toutes et tous Nous n'avons pas donné de nos nouvelles depuis très lontemps.

Que s'est-il passé depuis ces derniers 12 mois ? Nous avons démarré début 2010 le développement d'un nouveau système de classification et de filtrage de contenus, visant à prévenir l'accès par des…

English version here Chers tous, La communauté ipernity est aussi variée que le contenu qu'elle héberge. Certains contenus peuvent heurter des personnes ou ne conviennent pas aux enfants.

Nous avions prévu de sortir ce système en février dernier mais nous avons sous-estimé…
