I guess I lose this round aye?:mad:
 
In that case it's fine, but I seem to be getting mixed messages with every different mod posting. Hot pictures, fine. Bikini, fine. Breast onry, hard nipples, whatever... inexcusable. It's just some of the mods are making it out to be "if it shows any skin it's bad omg"

No I saw them. I was more complaining about the one Shyrra has now, or some of the others. Though i can't recall the name of the people who had the safer ones lol.

I agree, I just want to ask now that people at least take some discretion when putting up an avatar. Hot woman are...well let's face it...hot. The human body is a piece of art, so if you have a tasteful picture, put it up. But please understand that we've got it coming at all sides, and it's really hard to find the rule that pleases everyone.
 
Office viewing?

Come the fuck on, if you're at work and you know there's a possibility that there's gonna be something on the site that isn't necessarily safe for work, hide it.

Some of us aren't talkin about the avatars. It's the things in the middle of threads that have nothing to do with soft-core that have a big 100ft penis in the middle of it lol.

I agree that was just fuckin stupid.
 
i thought sculli left! this is gettin nostalgic here.
Avatars like this have been around qcdn since back when i joined and were not a problem till everyone was havin fun, time for the fun police to come in and fuck it up.
My avatar had no bare breasts exposed, no nipples. Completley clothed woman but it was removed.
Its gettin fuckin ridiculous that you cant just uncheck to show avatars box while your at work if your gonna cry about it.
the whole thing that pisses me off is that this was nothing new, for years its been here. But now its a problem all of the sudden?
maybe the sculliolites should chill and drop the power craze.

Naw, if mithras had tails in their cleavage I'd pull that.

But that might be a tad strange.:crazy:
 
Oh c'mon, a 100-300 ft penis is only NSFW if you can see the tip
 
Hello all. :) I'm not a normal poster, but the original poster's title caught my eye. I have to say I've enjoyed reading the many different points of view.

First off let me say I am a 30+ female and my husband and I run our own company.

I've played the game for a few years, read qcdn a few times and have to this day never taken offense to the avatars or pictures I've seen. Then again I don't pay a whole lot of attention to some of them nor would I get worked up over something I didn't care for, I'd simply turn the page.

As for the pictures being called porn or soft porn.... well I simply don't agree.

Here are some of the pictures we use in our advertising:

Granted these models are a more natural representation of the female body with less enhanced "assets". But, truth be told, it really isn't much different then what I myself saw here. Although, I do admit I don't look here often and did not see the actual pictures displaying nudity that had been posted, which I agree should have been removed.

It is my opinion that a young teen who would find themselves in trouble with parents for the content in these forums, probably has no business playing FFXI at all. Even SE has designed many of the items we wear with a certain amount of sex appeal.

As an employer, I have had to deal with employees and the internet and browsing of actual pornographic sites. In the past we have simply asked them not to do this during work hours and I've had no problems since. I've not had to put any blocks in place or take any additional action.

If I were to let an employee go for the mere fact that they looked at one of these sites during work hours, then I can tell you I probably had other objections to the work being produced by the employee and simply used this as an excuse or to strengthen my argument for dismissal.

I've also had to take a look at my failure to keep said employees busy so that this behavior is not an issue.

I’d much rather see the administrators give clearer definitions to the rules they have set than go with out right censorship.

You close the mouth, you quiet the mind. I’ve seen so many talented and bright minds here. Ultimately we would all miss out if the weren’t allowed to express themselves.


Appologies for the rambling. :)
