    Possible removal of partial nudity in sigs and avatars

    Post by Zzonked on Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:45 pm

    This issue has been raised and I'd like to gauge public opinion on this.

    Here's the thread: http://www.the-playmaker.com/t12247-half-naked-naked-women-in-avy-sig

    Please be aware that any nudity that shows breasts or more is already not allowed, this is suggesting that provocative pictures of people in their underwear also be banned.

    Here is one example that wouldn't be allowed:

    I don't mind it in avatars, but not in big signatures like that

    Never quite got the point of pictures like that in sigs/avatars anyway.

    Fuck you underaged bastards moaning that your Mothers would cry at you if she saw a little bit of flesh. It's not even fucking nudity.

    A definite no from me.

    Why? What I said is true.

    Explain to your fucking parents that you're not looking at pornography or just get a laptop and sit in your room.

    Yah good fucking point Jord.

    What's next? banning of bad language? Fuck you too.

    Nobody is going to cry over a little image. And if you are in a public place viewing this forum, that's your fault anyways. Why would you want to browse this site in the library or at school anyway? Sounds like having no-life to me.

    Maybe you shouldn't be using the internet in general?

    I can understand their point, sometimes I turn up too early to uni so I go on here for a bit. Or sometimes I have to go the library to finish off a piece of work that takes a few hours, coming on here for a bit is a nice break after a lot of work. That's having no life?

    It's not the biggest problem in the world though, I usually just scroll past it.

    You told me to shut up when all I did was put out a valid argument. I said I disagree and that we shouldn't take the sigs away on a basis that parents think your looking at naughty pictures. Sure it could be a little akward but just explain in a term they would understand "Don't worry it's not what you think. It's a chat website".

    I don't see what need there is to have an avatar or sig like that in the first place? Seems a bit sleazy to me.

    But yeah, I think they should be gotten rid of.

    First of all, it's more embarrassing to be seen posting on a forum, than it is to be seen looking at half naked women.

    Secondly, do people actually give a fuck that other people might see these half naked woman in sigs/avatars? I've only ever had one person mention it to me and it was my own brother, who just simply asked "What's that?" and I replied with something along the lines of "A football forum" to which he said "Oh" and then proceeded to say whatever it was he came in to tell me. No big deal.

    I think people should stop being such fucking pansies and get a grip.

    I am up for banning gifs from sigs though, 'cause when I'm at a friend's or something and they have shit internet, gifs slow down the pages like fuck. Ban something for a valid reason .. like what I just said .. not half naked pictures just because a few shy people are paranoid about what other people think of what's on their screen.

    Why do you hormonal fuckers need to have pictures of half-naked women show up next to your every post? I don't see how it benefits anyone. Get rid of it if some people find it embarrassing.

    So you're saying, we should ignore what a certain group of people want because another group of people want the opposite?

    Yes, because their wants are actually justified to an extent. And that's exactly what all the other people on the same side as you have said but you haven't questioned them, so fuck off if you're going to try to be a smart-arse.

    Didn't think I'd see myself agreeing completely with Scott on something.

    I was joking with the 'Shut up Jord'

    Just so you know. I never even put half naked women in my avatar or sig. But I'm still against this idea of removing them completely.

    In the scenario where they are banned then I'd probably start to actually put them in to protest. It's just silly, never thought this forum would succumb to this. The idea a year ago was to make this forum something which EA wasn't and even EA allowed the use of partially nude women is sigs(For example in a bikini such as Polska's). Now just look at what's happening here..

    Because they can be a genuine cause for embarrassment.
