Not all the people in argonath are mature, and before someone jumps and says this is a 18+ game, there are a good amouunt of under-ages playing aswell and all to the level that porn is banned ingame.You cant stop them and you sneaked on to game communities when you were their age, but they werent full of so much porn back then.
Argonath should never be a community to teach bad things to children ahead of time, and we are doing it right now seeing every 2nd profile i see has a nude girl in it.

I don't know why people even use these kind of avatars and sigs. Doesn't prove anything except their addiction to porn as they can't have the real thing :razz:

Nothing else to say, but It doesnt freak me out it just shows what you said. Anyways, I support this.
-
Yeah this should be disallowed..
Whenever you see someone with avatars and sigs like that, just think for yourself : ''Hmmmmm, what would this person be trying to hide by showing chicks with big tits? :roll:''
-
You guys can't handle some hot chicks? It's just an image, it only should be removed unless it contains full nudity.
-
Noone on Argonath uses pornography, as you can't see naked chicks, or naked dudes around. If you can't take a little softcore well mate, it's just a picture, ye don't like it scroll down, dont look at it. :razz:
-
What your homosexual? Not our fault you don't like tits.

Yes.
Do you got offended when your at the beach and you and see some hot girl? It's just the same as seeing it on a avantar/signature, seriously.
-
Not our fault you can't get a girlfriend.
How does adding a hot girl on your profile make you not being able to get a girlfriend? The only thing I see, is you're actually interested in girls.

How you came to that conclusion I have no idea. Based on your logic, you're addicted to to huge viking men. I have no problem with that man - you can swing whatever way you want - but don't start bad girling over a pair of boobs.
-
Do you guys also want to become official ''Forum Babysitters'' to protect our innocent minors from corruption?
Anyone in the Western society (predominant in Argo) watches more ''pornography'' (as you say) than a little avatar or signature every day in television, whether 5 year old, 10 year old or 60 year old.
I don't think any minor here would come ''omg I feel offended bekus I see women in bikinis!!!"; he'd rather do something else. :roll:
Oh yes and if you feel so hurt because there are avatars around decipting things that you will see 60 seconds a minute in a beach, might want to go to your profile and disable displaying of avatars and signatures.
-
Where's the pornography? :lol:
-
Alright, nice joke :lol:
No seriously, don't start up this shit again.
-
I just Ad-Block all the avatars/signatures with such images if they are distracting me.
-
go to your profile and disable displaying of avatars and signatures.
Oh, good! Gonna do that straight away!

Nudity or anything of the kind is taboo.

No offense, but this is probably because you're still very young.

Lol no, It just -is- taboo, It's not like i personally don't ''watch'' stuff like that ( not saying that I do either ) but it still is taboo. Taboo doesn't mean anything about me personally, It's just something not spoken of to others.. Apart from that It's just generally something you should keep to yourself in my opinion.. Enjoy nudity and pictures of the kind? Fine. But just keep it to yourself and don't annoy others with it. Why would you even put stuff like that in sigs and avatars? To make everyone think you're a huge douchebag or something? Thats the first what comes to my mind honoustly..

Well that's like your opinion. If you don't like it man, simply don't pay attention to it and ignore it. Seriously, it's pointless getting irritated by an avatar. I personally don't mind seeing a nice rack once in a while... but I guess that's just me.

Kay, he is, so am i, and so is 60 percent of the world.
Your comments are to allow such nuisance in the community, the owners already banned it ingame to prevent under-ages being influenced by nudity and pornography.
Your saying that people are too young to "handle" nudity, then in case you didnt notice the reason for this whole thing to be implemented is because they are.

My comments are to keep this "nudity" yes, but not completely. I am promoting to revoke the chances of it being removed, only because it doesn't need to be, and people are over-reacting. And it's not even "nudity" nor "pornography", it's just some girls in their bikinis or covered. The only porno I have seen on the forums, was when iMunna was spamming topics of girls with gigantic tits, and recently, when someone had a bouncing gif avatar of uncovered tits, which were all removed. If this was really pornography, it would of been removed like the rest of it.
-
I realised it's mostly Ancelottis and Gvardias with "Nude women" in their signatures, anyway it's not like their signatures are showing jugs or clunge... :lol: :rofl: So I don't think theres a problem with them.

Well, first of all.
Pornography is DISALLOWED in this community, however makes this topic invalid. I don't know what is your problem with the avatars/signatures of womens. This isn't pronography, go to the dictionary and find what is means. This is what i like, i'm not a crazy porno guy and shit, it's normal. I bet with you most of the kids around here ''fap'' with sites porn and shit, and now you are trying to disallow of pure simply womens bodys? Didn't you never saw womens tits at the beach? Movies? Two of one thing, or you are gay and you are scary or you are trying to mess with someone.
- The problem its yours, why you bought a 18+ game? Deal with the consequences or go find other game to play.
Peace out.

Okay, lets leave the words behind.These bikinis are what is making the problem, happy?
Lets get to the point, there ARE under-ages playing and this has already been banned ingame, the way they are showing these women is clearly not having a good influence over the under-aged players.
If you were a father for example, would you prefer your children playing a game whose website is filled with semi-nude women?i dont think so..
A few years ago argonath wasnt filled of so much "porn" or "bikinis"
That is one of the things that helped argonath flourish, no idiots jerking and trolling using such images, in the end this is also against the argonath spirit.

8. Argonath recognizes that a part of the community is underage. Therefore, the following is prohibited:
c. Explicit sexual content. While within roleplay and discussion a certain freedom is granted, the underage community should be protected from explicit sexual actions or content.
Pornography and anything else hinting at explicit content, actions, or behavior is effectively disallowed by the Vision.
Not wanting this content on Argo doesn't mean we don't watch it and such in our personal lives. However, Argonath rules are Argonath rules.

Like stated before, either scroll down, or disable the signatures and avatars if they are bothering you. And with all honesty, I would not mind my son seeing these kind of images, since nearly and probably everyone has reached the age of where they might have seen a real porno by now. If they are jerking, it is for themselves, you have no visual contact with them, so it's not your business nor should it bother you, as it should not be your priority. I don't see how someone is trolling with such images either.
-
I don't mind hot chicks, and I don't like huge viking men (except Que that is) but if I see a hot chick in someone's profile I straight away get a bad image for the whole as person.
-
Pornography is not to be related to nudity.
I believe both forms are disallowed on this forum and I personally didn't come across any pornographic image or nude woman/male image.
I do not think that a woman in Bikini can be disallowed as everything that should be covered is covered. Aslong there is no nudity or pornographic content it is allowed, I believe.
-
Hahahahaahaha, oh holy mother of corn flakes, you guys really need to stop caring about these kind of things.
Secondly, an AVATAR containing a woman's ass is not PORN. Neither is a girl laying there covering her boobs with her hands either.
Yeah let's just have signatures of WoW-creatures, some animating cartoon characters and of course some pictures of Pokemons as avatars and signatures. That'd be the BEST SOLUTION so all these "under eighteen" kids can have a really bright future masturbating to Pikachu covered in chocolate when they get older.
(except Que that is)
Sex.

Your argument is invalid, as not all games we offer servers for are 18+.
Also the game is separated from the forums, and the forums are open to people of all ages, and will be.
What is an avatar and signature ?
Both are something that represents yourself. In your case it means that you are (or think you are) a woman.

Thats right, i can't denied it. Most of the games on this forum is 18+ but i'm not here to prohibit no one to play.
As this is a forum, most of the people here are kids well... Caused this ''Pornography'' problem :poke:

That's more of a parental rating than a law.
-
Well it's pretty simple.
Wanna earn a free permanent forum ban? Then do use full nude pics :).
I've got no problem with people having pics with chicks or so.. it's just representing their passion for women, however it's done in limit..
Those who go over the limit (or aka edge), and put full nude pics.. simply get free bans as said ;).

Basicly what you say is true: Avatar represents yourself. However the content of the avatar doesn't actually have to be what you are.
If I put up an avatar of Assassin's Creed's Ezio Auditore that doesn't mean I am or pretend to be the guy, it shows my passion to the game and story. If I wish to put up an avatar of my camera or a bike I'm not a camera and I'm also not pretending to be one, however this avatar does show my passion for photography.
If particulary the older group of the member's community wishes to have a girl in their avatar or signature, I do not think they are a girl or wish to be one. To my idea they show their passion and interest in the female gender, which is normal to our age.
For me, an avatar represents something of yourself, but does not indicate what you are.
-
This isn't even about my personal opinion on this though. You just have to accept the fact that there are people here who do not appreciate avatars and signatures like that.. You can say ''don't look at it'' but even if you see it just once it could give a leave a very bad impression.. You also have to accept the fact that we're a community for everyone, young and old, and it's the 'young' part that should make you ''sacrifice'' your pornographic / nudity avatars for them, for that they could be both harmfull and unwanted for their eyes..
Personally I just think it's kind of untastefull.. If I would want to look at stuff like that I would google for it, In some cases it can even be disturbing.. I don't need/want to see 6 times oversized plastic breasts at all, and especially not when browsing these forums when i'm looking at a topic in SAMP General for example

I do agree... Yet the avatars used by Duffman for example, are not being pornographic nor show explecit nudity.
For a fact, public television commercials do show more nudity than their avatars.
As for minors browsing the forums.. Why would they be offended by an avatar from a woman? After all, everything is covered what should be covered and I doubt these set of breasts are the first ones they ever saw...
Some people might find it offending to look at avatars that display weapons, blood, nazi's, flags or other (personal) interests. We're a multi-cultural community with many interests. Aslong these interests are not suggesting things that are not tolerable (such as pornography and explecit nudity) I do not see a problem..?

I can't seem to understand why you guys make such a big deal out of it.

I'm pretty sure it won't be the end of the world if a minor stumbles across one of the rare avatars on this forum displaying a woman who so happens to be partially naked. Let's face it, they're going to find out one day or another, and it seems to be happening at a much earlier age nowadays. Of course complete nudity would be inappropriate and out of the question, but a nice rack is nothing but a nice rack.
I can understand that you may find it distasteful or whatever and wish that users would refrain from using them, but honestly some things you just have get on with and accept - in all honesty, it's not that big of a deal.
I guess, in a short and sweet way, I'm trying to say don't
make such a big deal out of it.

God damn, a girl in a bikini is not porn. It is a NORMAL outfit for someone going on the beach, whats next? Ask your country to dissalow people go on the beach without covering their body parts but the hands, legs and head?

How have you found any correlation between players being banned and avatars of women? It would appear to me that you're cropping up complete and utter bullshit.
If you were a father, surely you would also prefer refraining your child from playing on a community where GTA is the predominantly played game. No? Well then I'm sure you wouldn't have a problem with your child observing some partially flashed boobs.
This is an open community, and quite frankly people can display whatever they like as their avatars so long as they don't breach any of the rules. The ones in question do not - so I honestly see nothing for you to justifiably complain about.
-
I don't have a problem with seeing girls in bikini on the beach. And that's it. If i want to see those pics i roam around the internet or i'll go to the beach myself. And I think the OP shares the same point of view. Logging in to my regular gaming forum to sometimes have a big ass signature ( no pun intended ) with a girl on bikini thrown at me, is something that we shouldn't be subject to.
-
It's hardly porn now is it...
-
bla bla bla bla
I immediately thought of two contexts after reading your post:
- You live in the middle of no where, no contact with civilization, no television or anything like that, probably not even contact with a woman, so you expectedly feel disturbed when you see one. <- Not this one since you are using the internet.
- You are attempting to make you and your select group of offended users look like the majority. No minor here ever complains about such avatars, besides you and said group and, instead of making everyone's lives easier by using an already existant forum feature to avoid such suffering, you come here doing what I said at the start of this hypothesis. As well as that, you are completely throwing aside the fact that much more ''pornographical'' content is watched by you and by the whole Western society every day via television and internet. <- This one - your words make it obvious
-
Why the fuck are you all offended by YOUR OWN ANATOMY?

My point exactly. You're going to find stuff which you may not agree with both in-game, and the forums. This is what makes the world unique. Everyone has different dislikes and likes. If you're offended, block it with adblock. Stop moaning about stuff such as this (not directed at you, Cero). I see more "stuff" at the mall.
-
In my opinion, the community may be open to 18+ or those under 18. A 5 year old can join... true. But why have this debate, we come here for our enjoyment. We're not here to be parents, if someone is "too young" to be seeing a woman in bikini etc. its not my job, or anyone's job here to be the parent, its that child's parents job to make sure they're supervising the content there children are visiting, not anyone here. So in a rough sense, to an extent there should be no problem, and no reason for this topic :) and if your a child who is "offended" by this material you are seeing here then: http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Black-Version-Nintendo-DS/dp/B004EW2PC6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1316056067&sr=1-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Black-Version-Nintendo-DS/dp/B004EW2PC6/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1316056067&sr=1-1)

This is not Puritan RPG... get over it.

Frankly kids playing this game who are under the age of 17 or 18 are playing the game illegally, hence the reason why you cannot buy it if your under that age. No one forces you to play the game, if your offended by the human nature of seeing a girl naked or almost naked vice versa, get over it. Your all gonna see it at some point, and if you can't be mature enough to handle it you shouldn't be playing Grand Theft Auto in the first place. If seeing pornography is your first concern when it comes to Grand Theft Auto then your way out in on the other end of the spectrum, seeing as there are far worse influences brought to you through Grand Theft Auto such as Drugs, Violence, Vulgar language, Weapons usage, and carjackings which all have a negative influence on people if they can't find ways to deal with it. Your not gonna stop the world from wanting to view what pleasures them, and for this instance your not gonna stop over half the community population from seeing a half naked girl, whether you like it or not its the nature of the game and the territory it represents.

I've been playing GTA for almost 8 years, yet I've never seen anyone barred from buying the game for age reasons. :lol:
-
I fail to see where this 'porn' is...if your referring to the odd picture of a woman in a bikini or underwear, it's hardly porn.
If thats your idea of porn, you shouldn't really be allowed in the internet...
-
I've been playing GTA for almost 8 years, yet I've never seen anyone barred from buying the game for age reasons. :lol:
Im refering to buying the game legally from the stores. Here in the United States, you need to provide identification stating your over 17 or 18 depending on which state to legally buy the game otherwise they won't sell it to you.

Indeed, thats what I've done with MW2. I wanted to buy the game, but its 18 +. I asked some random stranger walking down the road if they could purchase the game for me. I handed over the money, he entered the shop and bought me the game. He handed over the game and the money and I gave him 1-2 pounds for helping me.
-
Yes exactly, their over 18 and can buy the game seeing as it is meant for people over the age of 18...I could say I play all those games illegally because im 17 but that makes no difference..theres an age limit for a reason when buying it legally, but its all our own choice to purchase it and if you can't handle seeing half naked girls you for one shouldn't be on the internet, and two you shouldn't be affiliating yourself with a game that clearly states there is sexual content in it..

My guardians are perfectly okay with me playing games over my age. Why? Because I'm mature. I wont go out and car jack my neigbour now, would I? About the nudity, I'm not really affected by that. I've seen my girlfriend at times topless, no big deal.
In addition, I would like to add that if you classify porn as women in bikins cruising in their boats or whatever. Then you shouldn't be roaming around the beaches.
-
For those anti-pussy nerds i just say one thing.
A pussy/tits wont hurt no one.
-
Im not against showing girls in Bikinis in your avatars or signatures, what im saying is if you can't handle it then why are you in a community that is technically rated at 18 over. If you can handle sure, stay have fun. I play these games because im mature and can control the impact they have on me, hell im training to become a police officer IRL as it is..but if you can't handle it then I question why your even in the community in the first place..like others have said if you think a girl in a bikini is porn, then why go to a beach, or go swimming and what not. You mine aswell stay locked up in your moms basement and watch Barney for the rest of your life where all you'll see is a purple dinosaur stalking on little 8 year olds..

porn is art! And whats wrong in a chick wearing nothing ? :roll:
Fixed it for you.

Your avatar and signature explains it.
-
I've yet to see porn in an avatar or signature. If you show tits, vagina, penis, ass crack or hole, then it is porn. If it shows none of those, it's not porn.

Explains fuck all, I hope you meant.

ITT: virgins.
-
It shouldn't be disallowed because there's nothing 'bad' about it, though it does quite clearly show the maturity level of the people who use them.
-
Maybe we should elaborate here..
Maybe actually having the nipples physically see-able then it would be classified as porn. For example, if Dr Pepper's avatar doesn't have her hands covering her nipples, it isn't porn. However, if her nipples were revealed. Then it is your choice weather you take it as porn or not.
-

This explains more than any other post in this topic.

I love such avatars and signatures. I see no problem with those, It doesn't even make me horny.
problem?

<--Do you mean smth like this? (http://i.neoseeker.com/mgv/457591-D24/591/19/facepalm_icon.gif)
i havent seen any pornography sig/avatar in this forum since over a year
-
Ever seen "Hitman"? The woman in that shows her nipples...still doesn't necessarily mean porn...I haven't seen any pornography for a while, as Josh said.

Trolls are pornographic, lol ;)

I have never seen a pornographic avatar or signature on the Argonath Forums over the past 4 1/2 years.
However, even in the event that this changed, you must take other things into account. What about homosexual men who do not wish to see it? Would you be okay with them displaying gay porn on their signatures for you to see?

Nothing wrong with being a virgin...but thats a whole different discussion ;)
-
The pornography you refer to is softcore. Some people around the community have been using these types of animated avatars.
The only thing that bothers me is the reaction of our female users.
Why not show some bit of respect towards them and keep your "imaginative" avatars for other uses?
I bet half of you would feel embarrassed showing your porn collection to your girlfriend/boyfriend.
Most teenagers/adults watch porn movies, no doubt. Just try not to present it around here because its vulgar/offensive to some, as well.

I dont support this.
Do you know what pornography is? Its not a girl in a bikini sticking her ass into the camera. Pornography is explicit material showing of private body parts, bare.
I have never seen an avatar like that here

I borrow his words
-
I think what was meant in this topic was the words "sexually suggestive", rather than "pornography".
I have to agree with the original poster. I, myself, are 21 years old, and it doesn't bother me personally, but I know there are many underage people and female users in this community that are bothered by such images.
Also:
8. Argonath recognizes that a part of the community is underage. There for the following shall be prohibited:
c. Explicit sexual content. While within roleplay and discussion a certain freedom is granted, the underage community should be protected from eplicit sexual actions or content.
So technically speaking, any of these images used to promote sexual content are already disallowed, such as the image above with the two men touching the third one sexually. Images of things like girls in bikinis, as long as they aren't meant to be displayed in sexual ways, would still be allowed under the Vision.
-
Any indecent exposure or half naked should not be allowed at all. It encourages users to search for pornography in the internet especially it usually affects under-age users. As for many users, they're offended with the pictures that displayed a half-naked girls as their parents disallowed them to have this in their internet.
-
This shit has never been allowed. If you see such a sig, click "report to moderator", type in "innapropriate sig/avatar", click enter and be on your way.
The server admins used to report all of them to the forum admins via a special topic and they were then removed very quickly. Using Report to moderator is just as effective.
-
Can this topic be locked already?
No reason why the topic needs to be locked therefore it will remain.

Bullshit, This is a gaming community that runs a game rated 18+. Bullshit topic is bullshit. And yeah, watching such avatars/sigs won't encourage you to watch porn. If you're naughty, you will watch porn, no matter if you have ever seen a girl in bikini.

So what are you saying?Letting those irresponsible players to have a pornographic signature, while there're underage players there, even more than above age?

1. That actually depends on your country and their definition of ratings. In the United States it's 17+.
2. The Argonath Vision specifically prohibits pornography and explicit sexual content.
3. You are correct that people will watch porn in some cases regardless of what they see, but that is only due to the influences in society around them. We shouldn't encourage (or discourage) people to make choices that are of their own, or their family's. They are raising their children and living their lives, not us. We are just here to interact with one another and have fun.
-
Why the fuck are you all offended by YOUR OWN ANATOMY?
-
No one said our own anatomies. It's the anatomies of others. No one said anyone was offended. Many people just feel that seeing it at too young of an age can put off the wrong ideas, which in some cases can be true, but that all depends on the person themselves. We aren't asking to act like sex or porn don't exist...we're just asking to not promote or show it so that the people themselves can make their own unrelated choices in this community, rather than being influenced by others by being forced to see things they normally wouldn't.
Worse off, this is a RP community! We have nothing to do with porn! It shouldn't even be showing up here.
-
Would be neat if users had some option to disable viewing mature content. But then again, if the argonath vision does state that none of this is allowed, we are playing in a community which we follow the communities rules. For one I don't support restricting that kind of content. I don't think it's fair to keep restricting things just because 1 or 2 people are offended it. If you are old enough to play gta, which even had hot coffee at one point, then a girls butt shouldn't bother you..

Well Hot Coffee's mod enabled something that was never finished and purposely hidden, so to argue that it's in the game wouldn't matter because it caused the rating to actually be raised in most countries due to the nudity.

define pornography

define pornography
We don't really need to. The Argonath Vision is clear that any sexually explicit content is not allowed. Pornography falls under this.

Very well, then define "sexually explicit".

Does it really matter what someone's avatar or sig is? Forum already has an ignore feature, use it and shut up.

[...]
So instead of playing the games and having fun, talk and make friends we are now going to be moral nannies for younger players?
I'd find you guys' worries an insult, as you are basically thinking any kid that joins our community is not capable of being aware what they might see here.
And please, if you are so offended when you see girls and so on... use the options in Look and Layout at your profile settings.

If you don't like the Vision, you can find another community. Kids play here, and Argonath respects that because it is a community partially built by them. Nothing will change that just because you feel that they should be given free access to something disallowed from the start. No disrespect is meant by this, but you need to understand that we were all kids at one point too. Whether we had something to protect us back then or not, that doesn't mean we should be arguing over it. There are laws, rules, and many other things that have already more than answered this topic.
Now if I may:

Removing your post to post it after mine isn't going to make a difference in the outcome of this topic.
If you don't like what the Vision states, take it up with the Server Owners. Else, there is no point for this discussion to continue.

People complain over avatars/signatures of girls/"nudity" - Yet these individuals are playing Grand Theft Auto
People complain over avatars/signatures of girls/"nudity" - Yet these individuals love to talk about cocks, penises and homosexuals
People complain over avatars/signatures of girls/"nudity" - Yet these individuals are regularly selling/purchasing drugs in-game
People complain over avatars/signatures of girls/"nudity" - Yet these individuals got the goddamn world wide internet to see the same pictures
And now, you want to be responsible and mature?
Lol, please.
You guys are whining over such bullshit so it's a shame to even reply. A picture of a girl in a bikini has never in our entire humanity on planet earth been called a pornographic picture.
Now; almost year 2012 (christian belief), it's called pornographic material and should not be in any sight for the kids of this community. It's a little late for being the savior of our time.

Problem is that we have moral nannies here who, as if underestimating the mental capacities of young players wasn't enough, are now underestimating the ability of this community to use common sense. It's obvious that exposed pictures (full nudity as an everyone-understands example) shall be removed, now raging over a girl wearing bikini is much more homosexuality/assexuality/maybe cultural differences which no one has anything to do with than pornography...

Oh and by the way SugarD, you should read your bible properly:
c. Explicit sexual content.

This has gotten out of hand.
If you find any signatures/ avatars that may be offensive of nature, use the "report to moderators" tool and let them decide if it's allowed or not. The owners will have a final say in this matter if they wish to do so.
In the meantime this will be locked.
