Disallow pornography as avatars/sigs

[duffman]

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 .

Nuff' said

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.

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.

If Game = 18+ that doesnt mean Argonath Community and Servers = 18+

Argonath RPG doesn't have a rating, the community is open to everyone..

Thats what Im trying to do say.

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.

    April 17, 2011, 10:47:38 is when you registred. Indeed, you really know how it was years ago.

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.
Sex.

Win.


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?

I agree with this.

To be honest what may bother me more is the animated ones made of porn movies IRL..
