I was just wondering if it would be possible to require that user's avatars be safe for work.

I imagine if people look over onto your screen and see a half-naked woman on the screen they're going to assume the worst.

It's just a suggestion and nothing personal.

We just went through this:

There are some work-arrounds suggested in the early part of the thread.

We did this to death in September and it turned into an 11 page epic. At the risk of sounding a grouch, go and read that thread instead.

Scantily clad is not so bad, you get worse in the newspaper that you shouldn't be reading at work either.

If an avatar is really offensive, pm a mod, we will remove it if we agree. In the meantime, scroll the page to the right if flesh tones apear.

Sorry, I wasn't aware their was already a 11 page thread on it. I'll look through it.

What newspaper gives you women in bikinis and underwear?? I must be reading the wrong one. Well, besides the department store inserts.

And it's not just the work thing. My girlfriend punched me one time when I was on eater and she thought I was looking at half-naked girls Laughing

I hope she believed me .

Thanks.

In the UK, the Sun and the Sport (aka Spurt) for a start. Except the top half is optional. Dunno about the land of the free.

EDIT t/a : John Cooper Clark did a song/poem called 'You'll Never See a Nipple in the Daily Express'. Smile

Could have been worse. You could have been looking at nekkid lad picts. I'd like to see you talk your way out of that one. Wink

I swear, if you folks make irishemigrant change his avatar I will hunt you all down and cripple you.

^^We won't. Scantily clad is fine. Topless smurfs are fine, and if you're wooden, you can go all nude.

While we are on the topic of airing grievances, is there any way we can start culling out all of those inactive members? Smile

Only if their avatars are NSFW.

Mine is naked too, but only offensive to bugs.

What if they are downright ugly?

How about only if their avatars are SFW?

My avatar is naked from the waist down. He has tucked his genitalia between his legs and is saying "look at me, I'm a little girl" in a high pitched voice.

Is that "NSFW" enough for ya? Smile

The main reason I get on here is for the avatars. And now Slightly's Oga gives us two for the price of one

I would, at least, have expected that to read 'my ex-girlfriend' whatever the reason for the punch.

Also, please confirm she only punched you one time because you got the next one in quickly?

Oh, BTW, the Eater Mod-Team are pretty good at getting rid of NSFW avatars.
However, that doesn't include scantily clad young ladies, which are acceptable in most parts of the world.

I find jojo's new avatar highly offensive to my eyes. It's really not nice to display such a big butt on your avatar...
