I might be able to get an avatar soon. What level do you have to be?

If you've been here longer than a year, you can have a custom avatar IIRC.

Yeah, I just don't know what to put.

Hmm, maybe I'll find a couple pics and make an OT Poll.

yeah, that sounds fun.

I'll see if Hugo Chavez will pay for mine.

Well I'm sure he would like the additional publicity of helping "poor' Americans .

Send him a nice letter and see what happens

Also, what do we do if we see an avatar that we think might be suggestive?

Could we post here that we feel Tattila's avatar, for example, is just as suggestive as Dis'?

Or would you rather a PM? And whom do we PM? You?

Actually no one sent me any PMs about your's.

But I must admit that the distortion shading is Hilarious.
I needed a good laugh yesterday, and that provided it.
thx.

Siro's looks suggestive to me. What other purpose does massive cleavage serve?

[padillah]

Actually, I kinda like yours Sirotnikov.

It makes you think it could have been suggestive... but you'll never know. It's like double layers of suggestive.

As far as Tattilla I was just trying to establish: his is a cartoon and it's not of only the body part. But there's little denying it's suggestive of something.

Heck I see how people could find my avatar suggestive. I mean, who doesn't think bald guys are hot?

And is this something they are asking us to comply with or are they soliciting help? If they just want us to comply, why is this thread still open? If they are asking for help, whom do we notify and how?

There's a lot of questions left up in the air by just a simple blanket statement.

I don't know.I wasn't sure how you'd take it.

I also had some 'anti-moderative' text next to it, but then chickened out, thinking you were touchy as it is

Anyways, it appears that my decision came not a moment to soon

Your fun was ruined so you want to ruin it for everyone

Actually while the discussion is still open ended, it's been decided that it will up to the mod's personal judgement because we didn't feel hard and fast rules would serve the community. The ones we deleted were obvious and I haven't seen many people dissenting.
YES, there is judgement allowed but I think most people already know their's is over the line before they even start using it. Or they're trying to push the line.

Things to consider.
No focus on body parts. ESPECIALLY GENITALIA
No exposure of said parts.
But mostly common sense and decency. I'm not going to say "anything you would be ashamed for your mother to see associated with you" since a good number of people here don't seem to respect their mothers, But you get the point.

If we get complaints on one, that's probably not a good thing, but we don't want to be so stuck up that no one can have a little fun.

This thread is still open because a lot of posters don't check the site everyday and will need to know that it is an issue. Next week i'll probably unstick the thread and let it fall.

If you do have a question about a person's avatar please feel free to PM any of the OT mods and bring it to our attention. We frequent the forums frequently enough that I doubt one could go too long without being noticed. The OTers are the ones most likely to bend the rules.

I hope this answers everyone's questions, since we're not going to get a lot more specific. I think these guidelines will serve the community best.

[padillah]

Well! If you're just going to sensible and straight-forward I'll go to some other thread.

I wonder how the Iraq war thread is going...?

[rah]

That's why I love the OT.

Are you absolutely certain you frequent the forums frequently enough? Infrequent visits done infrequently are dangerous. Perhaps you should frequent the forums more frequently than this

I don't enjoy seeing fake breasts every time you post.

I don't see it as any different than a guy in speedos.

Apparently, because the mods are heterosexual it is okay, since it does not offend them.
