anyone trying to make OP feel bad for voicing an opinion/concern is a fucking moron. Seriously. This is a discussion forum, for discussion.

I for one agree with him. Existence of filters doesn't give anyone the right to post whatever they want. I for one find some sigs entirely inappropriate (looking at you gaffin).

All you people telling him turn them off because you shouldn't have to change your browsing habits for him are hypocrites. Basically you are telling him he has to change his browsing preferences and filter his experience (sometimes sigs have useful information from people who actually constructively contribute to the project, surprising i know.) because your preference to browse as you please and... freely have OBVIOUSLY inappropriate signatures and avatars? Fucking childish.

Of course we can continue the personal attacks..but I thought that's what RnF was for.

Except you (and OP) are in the minority. So you, the minority are asking the majority to change their habits, when you already have all the tools you need to make these pictures go away. If they offend you, just turn them off. It's that simple.

Creating rules to control people only leads to a slippery slope to create more rules to control more people. It should only be done done when things are absolutely necessary, and since you can already turn off the offensive pictures, I personally don't see it as absolutely necessary.
