Why? We are discussing the slight nudity in some avatars, which is a valid concern. I am also having fun messing with Legacy and co by reversing the objectification of women that appear in their avatars.
I don't really care about gay people kissing. I turn off the avy/sig function anyways so it doesn't bother me. lol
I'd say the last few posters have more than "slight nudity" in their avatars. We've got some stuff in this thread that is downright close to pornography.
We are working on new avatar guidelines. According to Denny we will likely make the new rules so that that fallow basic prime-time TV guidelines in which no "naughty" bits are showing and contain no sexual activity (kissing included). FTR, I was just playing around and was never going to change my avatar to the one above.
Hey, if you can post topless guys then topless gals should be ok too! As I posted in the other thread this isn't a work/family site. That seems obvious. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that is how it should be, but that is how it is.
Hey, same with your avatar. I see nothing wrong with it, but I should be able to have a topless/bottomless gal if you can have one of a guy.
You just post it like any other pic. If it's a animated gif it should be animated. If you saved it though you have to make sure that you saved it as the correct gif.
Looks like I suddenly became a cyber-dork! I've been working at it such a long time! Trying to hold back the tears!
And so the exodus to yet another new Blazers message board draws near once again, as this board makes the fatal decision to imitate BBF's error of suppressing the masses in order to please the control freaks. I just looked at every avatar in this thread and there are none that you (or your ridiculously over-protected children) wouldn't see on magazine covers in the checkout line at Safeway every day. Aside from a couple of known homophobes here, no posters seem to really care SINCE THEY ARE INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO SIMPLY TURN OFF AVATARS. Maybe we could hold an online class for those who actually want to avoid seeing these avatars, but it's fairly clear their real goal is to CONTROL OTHERS AND CENSOR FREE EXPRESSION. Good timing at least. The playoffs will provide activity on all boards so I can sample how they work for this summer/next season.
And for those who aren't lucky enough to have a brain like that.... HOW TO TURN OFF AVATARS: A PICTORIAL Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: HAHD.
Oh please, stop being a drama queen. I was on BBB.net for several years and there is a huge difference between the two boards. We are not asking you to stop taking politics, or too not cuss, or anything else of that nature. We are asking that some posters have a little common courtesy for the others on the board and not put offensive images in their avatars were everyone else can view them, even people who don't want too. If anyone wants to post a pic of two girls, two guys, two people, etc making out in a NSFW thread then cool, go right ahead and do that. People shouldn't have to turn off sigs and avatars just so they can cruise basketball threads without being a offended.
