It's 1 week and 1 day until Christmas, so I'm swapping my avatar for the occasion. Please feel free to play along!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEExcellent.

Now, here's an interesting thing about me kicking Glenn Beck in the balls. Now I'm not saying that I'm NOT going to actually go kick him in the balls but what if that's not a coincidence hmmm? What if, maybe, and I'm not saying this is for real, but what if, I just said that I would so I could get an christmas avatar and spread communist socialist terrorist muslim propaganda and take away your healthcare and kill Santa. I'm just asking a question here since I'm the only one brave enough to ask it.
Plus if we look over here we see another clue as to whats going on here:

Well I can't install extensions to Firefox at work (long story dont ask) so I have to use vanilla FF with no add ons, so no ad-block..

And yea..the avatars are technically "clothed" but Shannows is a guy wearing nothing but a Santa hat over his groin...Ame's is start naked minus a black label over her rear and Bubbles is Santa, with a naked chick going down on him. Now Ame's is debateable but for the sake of discussion we'll say thats ok. Bubbles is the worst followed by Shannow.

Look I don't mean to bitch, I just like being able to browse the forums at work. We have a NSFW forum for these type of things. I can't even read RocketGirls' birthday thread anymore because the NSFW imagery people decided to post there... (at least not at work). I'm just asking people to please be a little considerate with avatars and imagery in the forums that supposed to be SFW.

True.

But have you stopped to consider...how wrong that is? Side skirting the issue with "depends on where you work" or "disable this, disable that" is basically akin to saying "NSFW material is A-OK". We had an entire discussion about this and made the NSFW subforum cause Dave and many others, wanted to keep the regular forums fairly clean and family friendly.

If that forum philosophy has changed...then its time we re-evaluate the forum.. The clear fact people can't seem to see that having someone giving Santa, an heavily implied, blow job as an avatar, is not exactly work safe, then we have a problem. And where you work has no bearing on this, if I worked for the porn industry this would be par for the course, but seeing as how I don't, and most people here don't, most businesses aren't going to want you looking at something borderline risque.[/quote]

I do not see that Ame's or mine are NSFW, and that is the crux of the argument. i did not see bubbles, since it was changed, so apparently that was. If something like our current avatar's are too risque for you at work (again, I am going by Ame's and my own), I would say that perhaps you should not be here during those hours, or, as was suggested, since it is that strict for you there, to simply disable them. problem solved.

Its a matter of principle at this point. Remember we had the big discussion not long after Dave opened the forums? What would be allowed and what wouldn't be? The fight to have a separate NSFW subforum? Its not about whether everyone sees some avatars as NSFW or not, but the fact that we're willing to just throw that creed out of the window without much consideration for others, when we have established rules and regs about it.

http://www.halforums.com/forum/showpost.php?p=315624&postcount=16 Stuff like that, not exactly avatar related, are fairly borderline if that.

How long until we allow nudity in sigs or avatars? There are some children who read the forums. Teenagers maybe but still, this was supposed to be a fairly PG forum with R rated material being in the NSFW subforum.[/QUOTE]

And, I for one, do not see where the problem is with these two avatars. Wholesome...hell no. But to be censored as nsfw, I think that is a bit far on these 2. And as for principle's sake..(devil's advocate)how far until you want to go the complete oppisite way and any little thing that might offend a religious prude comes to the board has to be removed?

Theya re fine now, the truly offensive (if it was) was censored, and if you still have an issue, then simply disable them while at work.

Dec 22, 2009#113

Dave

1) These avatars are not breaking any rules. There is no nudity in them and thus are safe.
2) Nobody has reported anything so I assume no issues.
3) If someone does report them, then I would ask the persons nicely if they would mind changing them. Because they broke no rules I would not make them change it.

If you want to block them out you can:

1) Turn off avatars.
2) Block the links using adblock, etc.

No, the forum hasn't changed the way they view NSFW materials. But since it's such a subjective thing we have to make judgment calls on each matter. If I were working at a place that had issues with it I would probably turn them off for the time being.

But that's just me.

Dec 22, 2009#114

Qonas

I also believe it's an issue. Not just one of work-browsing (hell for me, it's just home browsing. I'll actually flip to another website if my brother's around or something), but of taste and principle. I'm not going to disable avatars because that takes away some of the flavor of the boards here. The avatars are a bit of personalization that reflect the poster.

Which is where my issue with this all lies. Shouldn't we have just a little bit more taste and class? Santa having a woman go down on him? Honestly?! Now I'm not demanding the avatars be taken down (unless they're found to be a NSFW violation*), but I would like the posters to self-reflect for a bit. We're mature adults here...I think

...and it'd be good for the maturity to show, instead of childish "LOL lookit mah santa erection" behavior.

a) I changed my avatar myself. I'm easy enough that if people ask me nicely, I'll do it :-P (hint: Adammon asked nicely).

b) My avatar wasn't a naked chick going down on Santa. It was a clothed girl, sitting in front of Santa's lap. Next you'll say a kid sitting on Santa's lap is giving him a lapdance :-P

c) I surf the forum at work as well, and I googled my avatar there. Yeah, no, unless it's real nudity, I don't hear complaints. About every other page from this forum gets checked by security software either for being "social networking" or "games related", but I've never run into problems due to NSFW content yet. Of course, I stay away from the NSFW forum, and when I log in at work, I disable sigs and avatars.

d) Mav, there's a big difference between *content*, which you can't filter, and belongs either between NSFW and spoiler tags, or on the NSFW forum, and avatars or signatures, which you can easily disable yourself. I won't use something that I consider NSFW there, certainly, but walking the line? If your job is so strict about it that *that* picture would cause problems, you're probably better off turnging off avatars and signatures, since plenty of avatars can give offence in that case. Heck, Sera's avatar would probably raise more eyebrows than mine, at my job.

In attachment my NSF avatar. View at own risk. Do not open this file when children are around. Do not open at work. Do not open in view of your spouse. Do not open when in a public area. Do not open unless completely alone in a concrete bunker 20 ft underground in a remote location. Probably only Sheg can view it safely :-P

a) I changed my avatar myself. I'm easy enough that if people ask me nicely, I'll do it :-P (hint: Adammon asked nicely).

b) My avatar wasn't a naked chick going down on Santa. It was a clothed girl, sitting in front of Santa's lap. Next you'll say a kid sitting on Santa's lap is giving him a lapdance :-P

c) I surf the forum at work as well, and I googled my avatar there. Yeah, no, unless it's real nudity, I don't hear complaints. About every other page from this forum gets checked by security software either for being "social networking" or "games related", but I've never run into problems due to NSFW content yet. Of course, I stay away from the NSFW forum, and when I log in at work, I disable sigs and avatars.

d) Mav, there's a big difference between *content*, which you can't filter, and belongs either between NSFW and spoiler tags, or on the NSFW forum, and avatars or signatures, which you can easily disable yourself. I won't use something that I consider NSFW there, certainly, but walking the line? If your job is so strict about it that *that* picture would cause problems, you're probably better off turnging off avatars and signatures, since plenty of avatars can give offence in that case. Heck, Sera's avatar would probably raise more eyebrows than mine, at my job.

In attachment my NSF avatar. View at own risk. Do not open this file when children are around. Do not open at work. Do not open in view of your spouse. Do not open when in a public area. Do not open unless completely alone in a concrete bunker 20 ft underground in a remote location. Probably only Sheg can view it safely :-P

This, multiplied by some old internet meme.

So wait, Mav...

instead of taking the time and doing something as simple as just clicking a couple checkboxes for surfing WHILE YOU ARE AT WORK AND SUPPOSED TO BE FUCKING WORKING, you're just going to sit here and complain that everyone else change THEIR ways instead?

Huh.

Also, on the "class" issue, I think that should be taken up person to person privately. I don't care if the girl was lapdancing or whatever, I thought Bubble's avatar was crass and stupid.

However, I respect his right to be as he wants on the forum...and if I really wanted to, I'd send him a note saying how I felt about and would you kindly? Seems to do a lot better for all parties involved then to wah wah wah all day long.

And one more time, kids, I don't give a fuck that you're at work. That sounds like YOUR problem to adjust YOUR browsers according to YOU potentially getting in trouble by wanking off and not doing YOUR job.

There've been a number of images/avatars I've found distasteful and report worthy. Your old signatures with the neon asses being the most glaring (see what I did there?) example. But, I'm not a "report them!" type of person. I feel that's outside my purview. People should be self-censoring; that's not the job of someone outside force whether it's one person or a group.

But again, it goes back to taste and maturity with these things. I see these images and I just roll my eyes, like one would at a kid who goes mailboxing because it's fun. I would figure we'd all have grown up at some point.

yeah, Bubble pretty much hit it with that remark. I see what Quonas is saying, and yeah, we should have to go and look at ourselves for using such things as avatars..but it is all in fun, and within the rules. if it is so damn strict where you are, then you should not be looking at a forum whose rules clearly allow these avatars, and those are rules you agreed upon when signing up here.

NSFW does not just refer to stuff that some nanny-boss will fire you over it is also anything that would be clearly unprofessional to be looking at at work. This forum should be viewable in any setting because Dave has often said it was supposed to be family (Jerry Spring family perhaps) friendly. I have to turn off all images when I am at school for that reason. I don't really mind doing so but when you get down to it, it is kind of a ridiculous thing to have to do.

Ok I was pretty sure this wasn't right. the rule does not state that in order for something to be NSFW it has to contain nudity the rule merely lists things that would be seen as NSFW. Anything that the average person (not a religious prude as someone said) but an average person would consider to be inappropriate in a work setting would be considered NSFW as the rule is worded.

I'm a regular person, and I don't see any of the three avatars as being NSFW. Heck, Ame's is censored, Shannow's is covered, and mine's merely implication. I'd look at all three without a second thought at my work, and besides the fact that i'd get in serious trouble at work for doing non-work-related stuff, no boss or colleague would even blink seeing those avatars. At most they'd laugh at them.

To be perfectly clear, I *can* understand someone saying these pictures cross a line...But on the other hand, anyone who says so, is either working for, or is themselves, in my opinion, a prude. That might be my europeanness shoiwing through, of course.

So, Dave considers himself an average person, and they do not offend him. I, too, consider myself average, and do not find them offensive. So do others. Where does that leave us?

an average person is a purely hypothetical person so saying that you or I or Dave think of ourselves as average people doesn't work. It would be better to think if you went into an office like business down town and picked the first employee you meet would that person think that was the kind of image to show at work.

And it has nothing to do with offense it has to do with professionalism. There are many things that do not offend me that I would still not look at or have around me in school or at work because it would be inappropriate and unprofessional.

Exactly. And in such locations, where one is working, perhaps a public internet forum is not where one should be spending thier time, especially if they might get in trouble to do so. To do so implys going in at your own risk.

There are some children who read the forums. Teenagers maybe but still, this was supposed to be a fairly PG forum with R rated material being in the NSFW subforum.

If I had children, I wouldn't let them read this board. One of the reasons I've always liked this community is because we can say and do a lot of shit. Yeah, major fucked-up shit like furry porn is going to go into the NSFW section, but even so I don't think this is (or should be) a board children should access. Also, youngest age I've ever seen quoted up in this mug is 17, which is the age at which you can watch R-rated movies.

If something is bothering you, either report it or block it.

That's how it works. Repeatedly telling us how you are at work or school or synagogue isn't our problem. I have reported (before I got my Ban Hammer that is) avatars that went above and beyond. Guess what, they got changed.
Also: Even without these two shockingly offensive (that's sarcasm mind you) avatars I STILL turn off sigs and avatars and pictures, etc when I am at school and work.
Why?
I'm not stupid, people post stuff and I don't even want my classmates seeing a dumb lolcat if I don't want them to.
It's just common sense.
So again, this time in bright green MODBANNHAMMERCRUSHYOUPUNYHUMANS green: If you think something is offensive or violates the rules REPORT IT or BLOCK IT or TURN IT OFF.
It's really that easy.

It is always better to avoid the sickness than wait to treat it afterwards.

And it's usually better to use the proper channels than pitch a fit.

There. I hope I give many people nightmares with my squirrel-spider on human flesh avatar. It's perfectly SFW, though :-P

Discussing avatars in a thread about avatars seems to be a perfectly proper channel. Especially considering the issue is the avatars and images in general and not the incessant need to report.

People were bitching about stuff, demanding action be taken rather than using the proper channels to report things they felt were infractions. I'm not sure why you seem to feel every comment on that matter is directed at you, but I'm going to assume it's the "holiday spirit" that has the yule log lodged up there and pass whatever else you have to say off as that until the new year arrives.

Merry Christmas.

1) These avatars are not breaking any rules. There is no nudity in them and thus are safe.
2) Nobody has reported anything so I assume no issues.
3) If someone does report them, then I would ask the persons nicely if they would mind changing them. Because they broke no rules I would not make them change it.

If you want to block them out you can:

1) Turn off avatars.
2) Block the links using adblock, etc.

No, the forum hasn't changed the way they view NSFW materials. But since it's such a subjective thing we have to make judgment calls on each matter. If I were working at a place that had issues with it I would probably turn them off for the time being.

But that's just me.

Guess the issue is solved then?

your post started with "and" and followed mine... i think anyone would assume it was addressing my post.

Happy Holidays
