You know, there are some really scared people on this forum. I just got a PM from a mod saying he'd disabled my avatar. That's cool, I don't have a problem with that. But the reason it got shut down is because people were complaining that it was NSFW. And that is just weak.
I'll have you know that the first time someone mentioned that an avatar I had up recently might be NSFW, I took that thing down in less than a minute. Why couldn't you do the same? A simple PM, or a message in a thread (less likely to work since I lose interest in threads after a while) with a legit issue and I would have brought it down again just as fast. Come on, this is dakka, not Silence of the Lambs. what's going to happen to you if you raise your voice in dissent to someone? They gonna come throught the wireless at you? Please. Grow a spine. What, have the emos taken over? Or is it the Elmos?

What was your avatar? I remember the 1-nipple girl, but after that it gets hazy.

oh. Well from some of your avatars grizgrin, I'd say that sounds about right. Really, it doesn't look good with that stuff bouncing up and down on the screen when my little brothers walk by.
But I suppose they should have PM'ed you before asking a mod to deal with it.

And I am not even arguing right or wrong on the avatar. But yeah, a PM with an issue would have resulted in quick action by me.
Dogma: the avatar after Nipples was the one the mods took down showed a stick figure couple horizontal and superimposed, in action. Not anatomically correct, but definitely missionary. The only thing I heard about it was a couple compliments, and Luna asking me what my avatar was. I think she was screwin around, just expressing suprise.

I mentioned the bouncy one, despite appreciating the corset the wench was bound in, I didn't think the boss would if it became cached or something.
Didn't really see the problem with the newer one though?

The cat one? That seems fine enough.
Also the my little brother was asking mw some difficult questions about both what the stick-people where doing (dodged that by distracting him) and the lady blowing her brains out. (I told him she was shooting behind her ear at someone)
Honestly, I know you were just doing it to get a reaction out of people, but why? It's not like it matched your personality or anything.

I belive that cat one is because Griz cannot belive what he has seen,what has been seen...cannot be unseen.
I had no problem with your previous avatars,my grandma didn't like them one bit(well the stick figure one in anyway,she came into my room and saw it).I do agree however whom ever did not like it should have asked you to take it down before asking a Mod to take action.

Ah, but someone ALREADY told him that one of his avatars was most likely NSFW. So when grizgrin goes with another (similar) one, I suppose the guy could get sick of it.

Ooh, a bouncing boobie with a poorly painted on pastie! Someone call the internet police? Geez Louise comes to mind. I liked the stick figures and whatever they were implying. To me it looked like a wrestling match turned very intense.
But PM's always work best, unless the person you are trying to resolve something with is not responding.

I would imagine it may be something like this... from the thread it appears there have been a number of NSFW avatars, so whoever asked a mod to disable it may have just thought they needed to complain to a higher authority in order to stem the tide and impose some kind of "official" check.

I think the problem with sending a PM to the user asking them to change it, is that if the user is away for a couple of days during that time the avatar would remain and could be seen by someone who might take issue.
I am very lucky that I have unlimited free internet access at work, the nature of my job means that there are whole days when I have nothing to do, and then days when it will be non stop. The boss is fine with me using the down time to surf as it stops me annoying him every five minutes.
However I am only allowed this privelege on the understanding that I don't look at anything innapropriate, if he were to walk past and see bouncing bossoms he would be less than impressed (unlike me who thought they were jolly nice!). I would rather have a forum user a bit annoyed than see anyone loose there job over a forum about toy soldiers. Especialy me!
