Avatar and Porn Discussion

Dr. Cox offends me with his mean spirit and his name O-o.

He's above the law

If you, or anyone else, is "very passionate" and wants to see nude pics of girls, guys, or whatever you're into, there are literally billions of other websites where you can go to find that. This website, this *forum*, is not one of those places.

The avatar situation got out of hand whether you were enjoying it or not. Yes, there are features on this board that allow you to disable pics/sigs/avatars, but that does not justify the fact of many borderline inappropriate avatars that have been popping up recently - on a video game forum no less.

If any avatar or signature for that matter is found offensive (by anyone), you will recieve a PM about it asking you to replace it with a more suitable image. Failure to comply will most likely result in a moderator doing it themselves.

I honestly don't see what the big fucking deal is about not having half-naked girls in avatar images. So what? Go to other forums for that shit, not here.

Q: Who judges acceptablility?

Lets not open the windaria signature quote worm can again.

Aside: Now that i said her name, now taking bets on when she'll show up in the thread.

so the people complaining about this are people who have 7 hours of nothing to do at work...

And, on top of that their boss doesn't care they are reading any website, only if it has porn on it?

Really, doesn't sound like anything to keep bitching about. Some people actually work.

So basically some people got offended by a big penis, which is fine. But isn't a bit of a stretch to put girls in bikinis into the same category? And if they can just disable avatars and pictures, why can't you guys just do that, instead of bitching? If you just want to read stuff, just turn pictures off at work.

I don't see the point of having a rule against bikinis. Bikini is not porn, not even softcore porn. Hell I can go to the beach and see a hundred girls in bikinis. So do your 12-16 year old people browsing. It's not porn, I don't know how you guys made swimsuit into porn. I guess I should put eyepatches on every kid under 18 I see on the beach. Yeah sound ridiculous doesn't it? And before you guys say anything about my comment on the beach and bikini. I'm sure some of you want to say "If you want bikini go to the beach" but can't you just say the same thing about music, movies and everything like that?

I totally agree with no porn on this board though. This is not a place for porn, but bikini isn't porn. Just because some people are so conservative that they can't admire a pretty girl. Also why is it when there is a picture of a woman in bikini or something sexy, someone comes around and says they are objectifying women? Women who have bodies like that don't mind showing them in sexy cloth. There's nothing objectifying about admiring someone.

not really going to bother to proofread, so probably lots of typos and stuff

Q: Who judges acceptablility?

Just about everyone, if someone has a problem with another person's avatar, they can send a PM to any moderator with a valid reason why, and we'll take it from there.

Only problem with this.. is it tends towards "Care-bear-land" with Sculli. :/ People get offended, complain, person gets reprimanded.

Shyrra, can you watch my Faggot Tree for me?

Yeah, sure.

I said "valid" reason, someone who says something like "I dont like this guys avatar because i just dont like it" wouldn't count as something valid.

Well, I understand that, but we can end up with a couple people who are easily offended causing the rest of us to be censored beyond what should be considered reasonable, ya know?

 

[Zephayra]

Just a quick response in my own defense

1) Never on this entire flame did I ever say I was anti-boob.
2) The only thing I did post was asking a hypothetical question about avatars of the male anatomy
3) My question about the board being made on another site and linked was just my way of compromise, since I know some people wouldnt want QCDN to have a board of such nature. I honestly don't care, but that doesn't mean everyone else is like me. You people have your fun, but this game does have minor.I never once PM'd any of the mods about the avatars, so where you get this idea about me being anti-boob is beyond me. Hell, I am pretty perverted myself
4) I never bitched about anything. I was only -making- a suggestion about this NSFW board. Gods, I make it known that my character is busty, obviously I'm not a prude.
5) I thought my signature was done in good taste, as its pretty covered up. However, if someone finds it offensive, I'd remove it immediately
6) Lastly, you were looking for hypocrisy, not ironic.

"Valid" is relative.

Well if it gets to the point where someone says they don't like someone's avatar for so-and-so, usually there's a topic created in the moderator forum (where we scheme all of our evil deeds for the forum), and with our judgement, if we all agree it's out of line, then it's out. It's not going to be like back when Sculli was around.

 

[motley]

a few pages late but..... wow, so you can filter out avatars, i had asked if it was possible early in this thread but honestly and foolishly did not think the answer would be found so easily.... good find mara.... in light of that information

I retract any and all complaining about those avatars now that i know i can avoid them at work, BRING BREANNE BACK!!!!!

Well, that sounds a bit better to me. '-'

No, irony was the right term. Carry on with your crusade.

No, it actually is more hypocrisy than irony...>.>

very well, if she wants to label herself hypocritical, far be it from me to stop her.

comin in a little late on this one, I'll admit I didn't read every page.

I was peeved when I couldn't look at QCDN from school or at work during my breaks because of all the lame practically porno avatars. I don't have to click the NSFW threads but when I am reading everything else and I see a pair of bo-wazzas every other post it's like... "okay... I get it"

I am glad the avatars are changed now because honestly guys, it was funny when Cmdr did it but for reals, get your own thing. Enough with the sluts and the whole "I Hate my Daddy! Look at my titties!"

 

[Skaw]

The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. Now that is irony!

As you missed it before, i'll post the highlight, by me, which solved all the work-related problems with the issue.
