I definitely think these psychedelic color flashing avatars shouldn't be allowed (I haven't seen lately either, such as that frog head thing and the penzo avatar that became hilarious after people copied it).

There are borderline sexual themed avatars such as BJ motions and near nudity of women, I could definitely see these as offensive for some or NSFW - for the most part I find them amusing to the eye but there are times I haven't browsed this forum in public due to that.

Avatars that are annoying in general, that's going to be individual, I put ignore user. I'm sure that's fine to some - for example the kid in NMHU avatar has for some reason always been tilting to me and so ignore list fixes that, many like that kid though.

I think the previous wamy einehouse avatar was very out of line after she ODed, the Keith Ledger one is fine with me though

I am in favour of the Keith Lederer avatar, as it helps to keep his memory alive.

Never forget.

Part of me doesnt even want to respond to this as the more you post, the more I figure you to be a level, or sadly, socially inept. You have absolutely no idea what kind of job I do, nor should I have to explain myself. If you are legit serious about my avatar though, here goes.

The Dark Knight is one of the greatest movies of all time. Heath Ledger gave the ultimate performance of the Joker, and the best performance of his career. Yes, sadly he passed shortly thereafter without seeing what a success he had become. In no way am I trolling or disrespecting by using my avatar. I am honoring. He is one of the sickest villains ever and tbh, the way you see it, the posters around here are the heroes, and the mods are the villains. I am playing the role you have cast me in.

If you are a level:

Wanna meet me at the park after this post to duke it out son?

yay kevmode is here

I think he was offended by my avatar

Don't want to insult, but looks like people already forgot his right name.

kevmode, shouldn't you complain about the post where you renamed him? That's called self critique.

plaaynde, sometimes it's hard to tell when you're being serious and when you're just failboating.

It was a serious fail, I think.

Please let me finish my edits and complements before mock.

Accepting mocking

Kevmode strikes again.

Tons of avatars have been deleted. If you see one that you think crosses the line, report the post and put "offensive avatar?" in the reason for the report. A mod will look into it and if they agree, they'll delete the avatar. If they don't agree, well, you can decide if you want to block all the avatars on the site or not.

I agree that having the option to block individual users avatars would be great, tho.

Having a avatar as someone who is passed isn't a bad thing, It's like wearing a tshirt with John Lennon on it, You aren't trolling the fact he is dead, He was just a great f'n guy!

Bobo, you know that Kevmode's penis-head avatar is controversial, yet you do nothing about it. I have come to accept that life is not funny (and poker being a subset of life is, of course, also not funny), and nothing is funnier than a penis head with an angry face on it. It has no place on this forum. I also happen to know that penis-head man is deceased, so images of him are quite disrespectful to his memory (which shouldn't even have to be pointed out).

btw, having been enlightened, I realize the whole comedian thread in the Pokercast forum is about people being funny, so it should be deleted. I now regret having posted in it. Comedy, also a subset of life, is not funny.

^^at the center of every bright flame, there is a little touch of blue^^

Obv problem with all of this is defining vulgar. 'You know it when you see it' doesn't really work. So, if the risk (and subsequent trauma) of coming across something you deem offensive is >> than missing out on those avatars you find entertaining, then you're gonna have to lock them up.

This message has been brought to you by Captain Obvious.

Someone I see occasionally in OOT has an avatar with two women kissing that I find disturbing on many levels. Can I have that one deleted?

Now that also I recognize what kevmode's avatar represents, I deeply feel something has to be done about it.

Frankly, I'm on the verge of becoming offended.

how did you become a mod in under 18 months? everyone knows Alan Rickman was the greatest screen villian ever, plus he's still alive.

DADT has been reversed/repealed

I honestly think that Heath Ledgers role as the Joker was the greatest acting job in the history of acting. It was ****ing amazing.

ban everyone who complains about avatars and forum quality will improve greatly without the life nits

As you can see RJ, your post is evoking questions. Possible to elaborate, so ATF and the administrators can give their verdict?

LOL.

I was kidding (ldo). Barring actual porn, there's no avatar that would really bother me.

Porn wouldn't bother me either, I just recognize that it's not appropriate.

Hi Kevmode!

Amazing thing is that anyone with this avatar has the balls to criticize anyone elses.
