Basher Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Discuss. I like having avatars on, but with offensive avatars being used this is not possible.I think we should create decency standards for avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Yes, unfortunately this should be done. Some of us actually have jobs where pot leafs and clits just don't get the same reaction as they do in high school.......Moderate it!S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just think that if you would be uncomfortable having your 5 year old son or daughter seeing an avatar here, it should go.My 3 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I've had to shut them off as some of my cherished time on jambands is during work hours - so do I care - not really. I mean I have to miss out on some that put a smile on my face but realistically I should be doing this on my own time in which case I wouldn't be missing out right. just my opinion.

MarcO Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Then there's just the concept of using discretion and common sense. I dunno, call me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I just think that if you would be uncomfortable having your 5 year old son or daughter seeing an avatar here, it should go.My 3 cents.ok since you put it that way then yes I agree...I do not have children so that thought didn't cross my mind. pot leafs ok - disturbing close up images of grotesque things not so much then.

StoneMtn Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I say no.People can turn the avatars off if they don't want to see them.As well, we've had a few ridiculously offensive avatars on here in the past, and when that has happened public opinion and outcry was enough to get them changed. That seems like a good enough system that works. I say we just continue with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I am not talking censorship. If you want to post pornographic images in a thread you started, and put a proper warning on the thread title, I have no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Sorry, I'll change my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingstoned Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 so yeah isn't shutting them off enough...as far as images in posts with no warning - enter at your own risk in settings that are questionable....I mean you're always gonna get that email to even your own personal account from your own friend with indecent images for some settings (ie: work or at home with little peoples eyes) with no warning - so here it's bound to happen as well....I'm back to my original thought - nah don't really think its necessary or I guess I just really don't care as I've taken steps to avoid.

ge-off Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 so why is it the clit stays but the gapped asshole of mine had to go?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I've typed this before. If you are offended by an avatar, send me a message.I wondered about Dimafleck's, but in reality it is a computer mouse. Other than that...I haven't noticed anything offensive.

\/\/illy Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm offended by Basher's avatar. I think it promotes violence and I would not want my children to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't have to police us, nor should we have to rat people out. Just common decency. And Willy, my avatar came back due to popular demand - if you don't like it I'll bash you!

bouche Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 hey basher, you know that sometimes people may not realize that their avatar is offensive. that's all i'm suggesting. people should be able to have tasteful avatars. I like Oink's policy. Only CUTE avatars allowed. Like cute little fuzzy bunnies and shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 dima - watch which post you reply to - doesn't always have to be the last one. Your post reads: "07/25/06 01:45 PM - Post#355636 In response to Basher" So that means you were referring to me, or lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think as long as the avatar is not pronographic ro depicts graphic viloence, then game on.As said befor eif you don't like 'em turn them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 - "Loc: In a lake of LSD" - translation for the kids: just a typo for "Latter Day Saints"... Our own kids are often checking out what we're looking at here. We've been able to dispense with any awkward questions with a pre-emptive "That's just Lazlo again," and that seems to satisfy them; maybe whenever anyone puts up a dubious avatar they should just get their display name changed accordingly.

\/\/illy Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Do not allow your children unsupervised access to the Internet. This is an adult site. If you would monitor what they read then monitor what they surf. Personally this place is so objectionable I'm not even sure I should be looking at it.

Personally this place is so objectionable I'm not even sure I should be looking at it. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexcellent point!!! i think that we have enough fucking shit (see?) around here changed for people at work. if you can't see images like that b/c you're at work, turn avatars off, if you have kids....a clitty mouse, or a gapaing asshole, is really the least of your internet concerns...and if something offends you personally...well, look at the world around you, there's lots to be offended by. what a person chooses to be visually associated with via the internet, is again, the least of your concern. for me, a person who's never had an avatar, this issue is the least of my concern.
