Rules About Avatars

by **Juan_Bottom** on Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:44 pm

This whole thread has been BS.
Page after page of crap. Almost all defence of the avy's has been either "freedom of speech," or "it's funny."

Andy and the other mods aren't going to do anything. If they were, it would have already been done. They are just trying to look nice. But all that they are doing is wasteing your/our time.
Furthermore... what guidelines? I think you all have just about crossed most every boundry... with no consequences.

I can't for the life of me see how blackface can ever be considered appropriate.

Juan, I think the mods, or at least some, are convinced of that. There is an effort to work this out, possibly with a thread in the abuse forum. So hang in there and watch, there may be an opportunity to support the people who initially raised the objection to the black face avatar.

I'm supporting the hell out of them.

Juan, if you would have read the last page or so, you would see that Black Face isn't acceptable.

, and the user has been dealt with accordingly.

The Guidelines have been undergoing some rewriting, we'll try to make them more explanatory.

It wasn't just that, yo. OWENSHOOTER had to jump through some hoops. I don't understand the hoop process, why procrastinate until called out? And what about JBRETTLIPs avy? Are you saying that if a mod finds a violation they have to wait for a complaint before they can do anything?
I was complaining about this whole week long stupid process. You're the leader here Andy, and everyone on the site looks to you for the answers.

Common sense dictates this is not porn.

And as Snorri said: "Oops, nipple."

damn, i don't check on this for a day and it blows up...

I thought the same, 4 new pages.

Because the human mind is sadly incapable of discerning between male (allowed) and female (forbidden) nipples I have changed my avatar that until a few minutes ago looked like this

after having used it for less than an hour.

there's no way that was a chick's nipple

all those bumps from hairs?? if my girlfriend's nipple is the perfect female specimen, which i believe it is.... the female nipple should be a soft pink, with no hair or bumps on it

i prefer brown to pink.. its rather ridiculous that a nipple is censored by polite society. But i suppose the fostering of this taboo does make it all the more exciting when you get to tweak one.

I suppose it is a little like Hitler: don't want him on your banknote, great to have round at a dinner party.

Hitler and Borat at the same dinner party? Now that could be interesting.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but some of us have girlfriends that are over 12 years old.

by **jbrettlip** on Wed Aug 13, 2008 10:47 am

My wife is over 12, my girlfriend is not...and Yes, I would like some ice tea,and I brought beer and condoms, but we were just going to talk.

So what is the final decision? What progress will be made? Any chance for an independent panel to filter user names/avatars?

Silly Medefe, you know that female nipples are WRONG!

I mean, we have this whole softish pron thread in Casual Chat, but showing a nipple is totally wrong as it will scar little kids.

are you kidding? you started this thread, and left me alone to fight the good fight and win the hearts and minds of many opposed in this thread... and now you come along, obviously not having read a word in about 15 pages, with your bomb turban avatar, and ask "so what's the final decision?" are you kidding me?!! don't start a thread if you aren't going to follow it. and at least have the decency to read it after you throw one of your best friends under the bus for his avatar, because you are upset that he is getting away with a silent protest that you are amazed people aren't recognizing!! wow... i am shocked... i am calling your mom, you wait...-0

illegal in germany, right? so many fascinating double standards... but we all know the owner/admins/mods have the best of intentions and work tirelessly on this site, so we have to help them when we can. i would suggest doing what andy said, take it to cheats & suggestions if you have concerns... it is interesting. would love to hear how that played out.-0

The swastika in the Das Schlob map is there because the map is set during World War II. If you have a concern about it being on the map, please voice those to cairnswk in his foundry thread. Link.
