Just to make sure I'm not over reacting.. the rules of the Avatars are:

Avatar/Signature Guidelines...
« on: September 05, 2005, 04:12:24 PM »
This are some guidelines regarding Avatars and Signatures :
1.consider your signatures/avatars the following:
Work Safe (remember that theres several members that view this site from Work as well as near family members)
2. Signatures shouldn't be any larger than 450x100, we don't need signatures that take the entire pageÂ*
3. Don't choose annoying signatures/avatar ...

if you fail to follow those simple guide lines, it will be removed from your profile.
Any questions feel free to PM any of the SocalEvo.net Team

Seems reasonable and straight forward.....
OK.... so my avatar might be considered offensive..(blurry pic of 2 guys waving a middle finger) fair enough... but what I don't agree with is the hypocritical attitude... bouncing tits, ass, half naked girls and borderline soft core porn is ok?.... but my avatar with a finger gesture isn't? seems a little hypocritical to meÂ* :uglystupid2: perhaps some fairness should be in order here.... just my .02... doubt this little suggestion will matter anyways.... maybe if I put a pic of some bouncing testes in a micro bikini it will be ok? would anyone mind that?

Tomas would u mind letting me take a pic of you then I can post it.... O0

yeah! there were sometimes my coworkers asked me "hey! what's that site?" when images of girls with boob showed up when I was browsing this site. Also, my daughter also told me "you're browsing an inappropriate web site" so I have a lot to explain. LOL. She (Miss Evo8) definitely has a valid point.

That is an ignorant response and not an answer to my question.

The rules state something clearly. You should know, because you just posted them for all of us. Do you think you are following the site rules?

I have personally gotten complaints from three female members about offensive avatars. We do need to be more sensitive in this area as we have a growing number of female owners.

Angela, I've got to say that you have a double standard here. Avatars can be offensive but when language is you blow it off. Sorry, but you're wrong on this one.Â* Please remove.

my point was this.... why was my avatar removed..when the others are allowed to stay? is a finger gesture more offensive then the T n A? who's to say?

Ignorant? How? Its not my responsibility to raise your daughter...anyhow it's not a debate about child rearing... Im sure you can be awarded a Parent of the Year Plaque for keeping your daughter from reading offensive material.
And no I dont always follow the rules... its just not in my nature to do so.... there is your answer....but that also isnt the point here...

I see your point, This has happened to me before I had a avatar of bouncing tits and a dave chappelle signature smacking charlie murphy. I guess someone found it offensive and reported me. The images were remove I did not argue but the funny thing is some members here still have those avatars and sig's but dont get crap about them.

here we go again with the paper-thin-skin, and the PC BS.... ehhhh...Â* :?

forget the majority...in fact, lets screw them over so that we can make the 2% that complain happy...Â*

ehhhh... WTF? :idiot2:

If you are referring to me, then all I can say is that I happen to be in total agreement with you. I am certainly not a PC person. Nor am I thin skinned. (Just take a look at some of my posts on this site).

No, the problem was that someone was acting in a contradictory manner and when I decided to call them onÂ* it, they wanted to go toe to toe. That's fine. I've got no problem going toe to toe. I simply made a point. And the point was taken. End of story.

*sigh* the point was simple.... why are some avatars tolerated and others are not? I dont care about the T n A...I really don't... but my finger gesture isn't tolerated? Those avatars/sigs have been up for months... mine was up.. maybe a week? and it was a blurry pic at that....if you're gonna take it down for being offensive there are many more on here that are 10Xs worse...


and flashfoto get a grip no one's tryin to "go toe to toe" :roll:

Look folks, here's how I handle things. If I get a complaint I investigate. Each situation is different and I try to be fair in my assessments and ultimately my decision of how I handle it.

If I get a complaint about an avatar I consider that strongly in my decision of what to do. As it's been stated before and is part of the site rules, everything from language to avatars needs to be work safe.

What you should ask yourself is would I get into trouble from your HR department at work for something I post. Would you post a picture of bouncing boobies at work? No, then why would you do it here. Would your post offensive pictures at work? No, then why here. It's simple folks, work safe!

I hope this explains it better and Rob or Dino are welcome to chime in if I didn't cover it properly.

I have made this point numerous times, where I have had my sig removed along with my avatar and no explanation. I also got banned for a few days. Some of the admins, not all, have grudges against some, while they turn their head for others. I wish the admins would be fair like it used to be in the old days.

I swear I see a middle finger in a sig right now...but it is good that has been up for awhile...what happened to treating all members the same?

I had an avatar of a doll that was used for a Halloween decoration...that got deleted O0 I also quoted lyrics from a song in my sig...that got deleted because of the language used...yet people cuss all over this site....hmmmmm :uglystupid2:
