Thread: Why this thing is allowed on WTF?

I want to know that why the admin of this WTF forum is allowing users to put BAD (Porn) avatars?

I saw a very bad avatar of a user and asked Colleen about it, but she never replied me. Now today I saw another user's avatar and it really shocked me to see that this good community is using bad avatars.

There is a forum Web Designers Talk which I have left using only because of this thing. Most of the members on that forum were using bad avatars.

@Admin: Could you please stop users to not put bad avatars? Because on big and good reputed forums there is a rule that you are not allowed to put that kind of avatars, so why this forum is allowing?

Umm...I guess I know the reason!

C is odd! Grim is a body builder and Zap's avatar is hot...:P:P

And they all love us...

I am serious

The avatars you complained about were removed.

I don't know which avatar you're referring to now though.

I am talking about the avatar of user ( Iowadawg )

And what is wrong with it?
I don't like your avatar either, but I am not bitching like you.

Go to a family friendly forum.

Because next you will be griping about the many posts here having to do with sex in one way or another.

Jani, I don't see how you can refer to iowadawg's avatar as PORN. It is simply meant to be funny, she is covered, I see nothing wrong with it.

I see.

I think there is cultural difference between you people and me. You don't see it as bad, but for us (muslims) it is very very bad.

well, what can I do. you do whatever you want. After all it is YOUR forum and your community. I am the only person here who is asking to change this thing

good luck

Jani you can always ignore users with the ignore option that you do not like their avatar, you can also 'i believe' choose to not view avatars all together.

I also agree with what has been said by others here, Jani.
We asked that the other avatars be removed because they stepped over the line.
Colleen is right. Iowadawg's avatar may be sexy, funny, hot, etc. But it is NOT porn.
The model may have more than enough to go around, but she is fully clothed and not performing any dubious "acts" that should not be seen by youngsters.
They see much more than that on daytime TV.

Jani ... I agree with what many are saying. Iowadawg's avatar is not PORN. Religion does not dictates the definition of PORN. The admins here keep a very close eye on the forums and are usually very quick to eliminate any questionable material.

I am so so sorry !!! I think my Avatar is PORN Material too !!! Would one of you administrators let me know , if it is ???
Oh yeah , and , " You People " meaning me and many others on this forum , do actually think the Avatar of iowadawg , is FUNNY !!! :jump2::rollsmile

Ok, How can I ignore iowadawg's and any other's avatar?

May be I choose the wrong word PORN for that, but all I meant to say is that it is BAD avatar, it may be funny for you but for me it is BAD.

Webmaster Discussion Forums
Will allow you to ignore certain users.
Webmaster Discussion Forums
Here you can choose to view or ignore avatars

You can install http://adblockplus.org/en/ and block any avatar that you dislike.

Thanks Grim and Richie,

Richie, YOUR avatar can be called as FUNNY... and I like that kind of avatars

Yes, block my avatar, put me on ignore.
For sure, I will never let another person dictate to me what is bad and what is good according to them and/or their religion.

I am not dictating YOU. Tell me where I said anything to you directly?

I just didn't talk to you on this. I only asked the admin about avatar, and you think that I am trying to dictate you.

You are dictating, pure and simple.
Read your posts.

Effective now, I am putting you on my ignore list.

now you are taking it personally and i guess starting to fight.

Everything is clear now. Now I know I can put anybody on ignore list so I will just ignore those who I don't want to see.

You too should end this thing right here.

yeah i've seen avatars here which are far more worse.
The devils mouth - was intresting , if anyone remembers.

I think this thread has run it's course, OP had a question and I think it got resolved/answered
