Avatars that are NSFW

[rahmani]

Is there any rule to whether the avatars have to be SFW? For example, I am now terrified to come to this forum at work, because of avatars like:

I'm sure you can find others, but I'd rather not risk it, seeing as I am at work right now, and my boss' office is right behind my computer.

User CP > Edit Options > Uncheck "Show Avatars".

[mostbitter]

that's hardly not safe for work, unless you work at a menonite office

Thanks, I just did that. I was starting to get fed up with all the signatures and avatars.

If I get fired, I'll tell my boss to talk to mostbitter.

PS: What the hell do you mean? It's bottomless woman

It may be suggestive of such a thing however, it is not what you have described it as being.

It is indeed a woman with no underwear on, and utterly tasteless. Limit that shit to NSFW this is not redtube.

I would argue w/ your definition of "taste", unless it was a portly woman w/ no underwear on, then I might agree with it. :D

No offense but isnt work for work? I mean your boss doesnt care that you surf random websites when your suppose to be working just doesnt want to see naked people on it? On that note the avatar you choose to use a example i could hardly make out what it was 2 feet from the screen if your boss is 20 feet away and can make that out he deserves a medal. Ive never gotten the NSFW complaints. Your at work your suppose to be doing work. If your not then you take just as much as chance of getting in trouble for not working as for looking at a 1inchx1inch picture of a womans hand maybe over her crotch?

Those of us who have educations and real jobs can pretty much do whatever we want at work, minus vaginas.

Lol, you say this like it's some kind of crazy double standard.

Have you ever had a job?

There's some lady dancing and her boobs are hanging out of her shirt, I'd probably get fired for that.

A little less NSFW but still, come on:

I'm glad my boss is not so puritanical. I didn't think it became NSFW until you saw nip, vag, etc.

[MrSparkle001]

Hey Kate Upton is never inappropriate.

[Nuncio]

Do you visit porn sites at work? No? Because there is NSFW content on it, I assume.
Guess where else there is NSFW content.

Yeah, you guessed correctly.

Right.
Fuckin.
Here.

Are you going to ask people to stop cussing so that your boss doesn't see NSFW words when he walks by, too?

Stop being a whiney, self-centered fucking bitch and turn off avatars and sigs in the user CP.

Seriously, put this in perspective... You want to limit and censor, for everyone else, what is accepted on this board so you don't have to click a couple of checkboxes so you don't get in trouble FOR READING A VIDEO GAME FORUM WHILE YOU ARE AT WORK.

Are you fucking serious?

Jesus.

This guy beat me to it ^

lol i was thinking the same thing, some people are so deep into the immersion they can't grasp the understanding of simple things in real life, lol why is anyone giving him shit? he says its NSFW and theres people saying all kinds of crazy shit, take a step back from the computer for a few days and maybe you might understand how the world works

WTF are you on about, dooder?

That's got nothing to do with it.

This guy is asking that the entire forum change its established rules and standards so that he doesn't have to check a couple boxes in his control panel to read this forum while hes at work.

That is just so narcissistic, so fucking absurd, so entitled, I just can't wrap my head around it.

If you don't see an issue with that, it's because you have some similar issues.

Jesus.

not sure if you realized, but several posts ago he said that he did, indeed, turn off the avatars, and as far as the rest of what he said, do you realize that there is a section of the forum called "Rants, Flames, and NSFW"?, it is highly appropriate to assume that if a website has a NSFW section, then content that is NSFW would be going there

the whole reason NSFW exists is because if employers see certain images even from afar it can cause major problems, the OP has every right to question why NSFW content isnt going in the NSFW section

LOL, my response was in agreement to the comment directed at Thulack, can you comprehend that? (you dont seem to be able to follow so far)

[Nuncio]

It's pretty clear that the entire forum is a little lax on images and language, but none of this would be NSFW in any of the places I've worked at in the last 15 years.

I mean, there's some language and a bit of skin.

But whos defining NSFW, then? Just this guys boss? Seriously, if you're visiting a site that your boss thinks is NSFW, then don't go when you're working. Thats 8 to 10 hours a day.

Pictures of cute kitties are available and totally SFW.

And no, I couldn't handle reading the entire thread, so didn't know he'd turned them off, though I did read him saying he didn't want to, that it wasn't a solution for him.

Glad he got that worked out, and thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[Nuncio]

And yeah, didn't see the context because it wasn't nested. Misread it due to that, so, apologies.

[Furniture]

well its alright, while it is questionable whether anything in this thread is NSFW (bad language would do it, but barely a reason to put something in NSFW), a lot of avatars here are clearly NSFW (bouncing tits avatars, pantsless women, etc) which is what this guy was complaining about originally and anyone with common sense wouldnt want their boss to see them at all

[Furniture]

thread should have been declared dead a while ago, im out of here

[Nuncio]

I guess. I mean, all I can say, is it's obviously been the norm here for a long time, or at least the progression to it's current state has been steady and fairly obvious.

Point being, not all that cool to ask an entire established group to change accepted group behaviour to satisfy ones own need to browse a forum and not work during the 8 or 9 hours one is at work.

[Furniture]

nuncio i am sorry i have been rude and I am retiring from the forums officially goodbye and goodnight

[Nuncio]

Take it easy.
