Allowable Avatar Images

Stupid question 1:

Are there limitations on the "adult" content of avatars on these boards. I checked the FAQ, recent posts, sticky posts and such but find no guidelines.

On the other hand, I have seen no avatars that appear to have any real adult content.

To give an idea of what sort of images I'm asking about both of these are images I've considered for an avatar:

Possible Avatar ONE (http://home.earthlink.net/~nobalz/img/EAavatar.jpg) and Possible Avatar TWO (http://home.earthlink.net/~nobalz/img/B-A.jpg)

I realize that one is simply a drawing and the other shows as much erotic sexuality as a department store dummy, but they are both rather more adult than those I've seen here so far.

If they are beyond what would be preferred, I of course won't use them, but lacking guidelines I just don't know.

Thanks in advance,

Tomas,

The only limitations on avatars, other than having to be physically smaller than 200x200 pixels and no larger than 30k in data size, is that they not depict child pornography or overly blatant sexual acts in progress.

Both of your proposed avatars are certainly on topic for this forum and would be well accepted! Feel free to use either one!

And while we're on the subject of pics/avatars:

I would have to discourage members from using avatars that depict what you might find on a porno site, though. As with the cute pictures boards here, we don't want to become a porn site. We already consume a huge amount of bandwidth every day and there are plenty of other sites online where you can find suitable porn without US having to host it.

I did run across an avatar that some of us discussed seeing once, while on the chat the other night. I have removed the user AND his avatar. Enough said on that.

HOWEVER if you feel the need to get nekkid in your avatar, eunuch or not, feel free to do so. Just don't take any critique too seriously ... you know how some people are!

And don't post yourself screwing a sheep either (for those non-eunuchs).

I suppose that we can take exception to those eunuchs here who still have a cock and wish to fornicate with farm animals.

HOWEVER the said farm animal must look willing and must appear to be having a good time.

:p 😄 :tongueout 😲

Thanks for the rapid and reasoned response, Paolo. :)

I will be changing to one of the avatars I asked about, and probably try to make a better one specificly for this messageboard in the future.

Take care,

P.S. I would also hope that said farm animal was a pretty one . . . 🙄
