    Its quite easy to switch off avatars in the control panel. Sorry to state the obvious.

    Yes

    Doesn't absolve siteadmin though. Steady, progressive soft-porning of this site.
    We even allow under-age sex images but complaints are contemptively dismissed.

    I find that hard to believe. Can you support with evidence the assertation that sexual images of minors have appeared on this site without action from Site Admin.</p>

    As far as I am concerned, SA set their limits on nudity at &quot;Page 3&quot; level. More people than before may be pushing these limits with animated avatars, but I think Admin have stuck to their guns from the outset as to where the line is drawn.

    If you don't like the avatars/ signatures...

    ... turn them off !!! Nowt personal mate it's just they don't offend me.</p>

    Now as for the under age bit, are you sure and have you evidence ? if you're not that's a bad accusation.</p>

    RE: If you don't like the avatars/ signatures...

    Siteadmin know exactly what I'm talking about and if you think it's a serious allegation then take it up with them cos they weren't bothered.

    Doesn't matter how many times people are told to turn off the avatars if "you don't like them". It's like saying if you don't like the racist chanting go and sit somewhere where you can't hear it. Argument doesn't wash.

    Alternatively

    People could just grow up? (dunno)

    Most folks have good avatars that say something about themselves. If folks insist on letting us all know about out their juvenile fantasies on the BBS, fine... it's them who look like idiots.

    Good point. For example DB3K's avatar is obviously the closest he's ever got to kissing a girl.

    It's nothing like racist chanting at the match.

    You cannot turn your ears off, but once you turn the avatars off you can't see them.</p>

    Just as a matter of interest why do you get to say what I can and cannot see ? Icould find that quite offensive as I'm nearly 50 and i think I should be able to make my own decisions, as can you ... turn them off !!</p>

    Nah, everything must be legislated for. Points to be made and all that.

    I'm currently campaigning to get table legs covered up in MFI

    Mainly the curvey ones though, but if at the end of my campaign all tables can no longer have legs, then so be it. It's not fair if I keep getting erections that I'm ashamed of is it?

    If you see inappropriatness at every turn that isn't your fault. It's 'them'.

    Good point

    That's why I don't think admin should intervene, and I don't want to turn off avatars either.
    I just hoped that people posting up avatars would be a bit more responsible, and think about the wider population who look at this board. I'm not prudish, seen all that stuff before and have no objection to it ... there's just a time & place for everything.
    What beats me is why anyone thinks that we have the remotest interest in seeing their individuals fantasies played out in front of our eyes every time we read their message. It's just really immature.
    Yes I don't have to read those messages, but that just defeats the purpose of the board.

    I think you should be chained up outside and given time to think about what you've done. nt

    What gets me is why anyone can moan about an image such this when a nightly soap opera regularly features stories involving males doing exactly the same thing. And no matter how disgusted people find it they never complain (or maybe the complaints are swept under the carpet).
