man ponch ur really strattling the fence lol
What I don't understand, is people STILL complain about the "Racey" avatars. All they have to do, is go into the "User CP", Click on "Edit options", and turn off the avatars.
Well you just nailed it.
PPL still complain but it still is allowed.
What does that say?
What it says that when you complain about it---it is not worthy.
You get over looked.
If you turn off avitars then you loose your own as well.
Does that make it fair to the one person?
No not really if theirs is not like that and more appropriate.
Look at mine, yours and czech.
Ponch is racy and a bold disrespect and was changed because it was mentioned.
I have to disagree with you Bio... There are only a couple people who complain about the avatars, so it would be more unfair to the majority to "regulate" the avatars. Just like in everything else, a few people complain about something, and want everyone else to suffer. As long as the avatars don't contain full nudity, profanity, sexual acts, etc. they shouldn't be an issue. If you want a forum that is regulated by powermad moderators, who will issue warning points for "Racey" avatars, mentioning "Beverages" or talking about products the Mod doesn't like, join the Traxxas forums.
If someone doesn't like what's on TV, they change the channel. If they don't like the avatars that people put up, turn them off... I have a 14 year old son who frequents the boards, and I have NOT YET seen an avatar on this forum that I would consider unsuitable.
The real issue here, is the immaturity that is shown on the boards, NOT what someone has as an avatar. The mods here do a good job of keeping the content under control. Yes, there is an issue with off topic posting, occasional spamming, people joining JUST to try to sell something never to be heard from again, but overall, if language gets out of hand, it does get addressed.
Hoobajoob,
Nice Unabomber Maifesto there....good points, but could you make it any less inviting to read?
The Shift Key Makes the start of the sentence Capitalized. And the Enter Key creates a thing called a paragraph. (JBYB)
And I have to say, the baby avatar made me laugh for a solid two minutes!!!
+1 Chris! I have only ever heard of about 3 people that don't like the avatars. Also I think MY avatar is more offensive than one with a half naked girl in it! I'm basically flaming the sox with mine and the ones with girls are just something nice to look at!
And what about guys who keep using "phcked" and "ch1t" to mask profanity....slap them beotches, too....

The only thing that bothers me more than people using "phcked" or "ch1t" is people using beotches.... LMAO J/K Dave
