Nothing is wrong with that option. That's my point. I'm not a prude over here on my moralistic high ground.
We ban nudity on this forum except in NSFW, yet we have people pushing the limits of that in their avatars/sigs.
If I took a compilation of all the GIFs that I considered 'borderline' and posted them in server chat, would it get moved to RnF? That's the real question here. Should I need to disable ALL signatures/avatars (some of which I find useful, btw - like the ones that link to tools or spreadsheets or to past posts, or that provide me with information about someone like the list of their alts -- LIKE YOURS) because a few select individuals like to post nearly-nude GIFs in their signatures?
If there wasn't a RnF forum, I wouldn't even bring it up. Anything goes here. The fact that RnF exists makes me believe there is some desire to keep the majority of these forums free of NSFW material. Sigs and Avatars SEEM TO ME to be an exception to that.
Notice the title of my thread isn't 'CENSOR AVATARS AND SIGNATURES' , it is instead 'What's the story on Avatars and Signatures?' I'm open to the options available to me, but it occured to me that others felt the way that I do, and I don't think there's anything wrong about having civil discourse about the topic.

I see where you're coming from, the fact that RNF exists does lead one to believe we like to have a separation between nsfw and other content on the forums. My concern with this is that we don't really need more moderation on these forums. I think in a lot of cases (aside from outright nudity) what should be considered nsfw is often up for debate. I think if we were to make this the new standard on the forums there would be constant rule layering and people reporting other people for their signatures and avatars. That is simply not what we need the staff to be preoccupied with when its much easier to just suggest that person disable signatures and avatars in the User CP while they are at work.
