"porno avatar"

by **BoBiNaC** on Tue Oct 28, 2008 1:52 pm

I was using a cropping of one of my oil paintings for an avatar. It was a depiction of a nude lady, the portion of which I used was from the navel up. This did therefor show her painted bare breast, as well arms,hands, stomach, throat, face & hair (for emphasis). But in no way, manner or meaning was it depictively pornographic.["Yet"] after a 5 round whoopin' I put on one (unnamed) higher ranker, I now have to ask. While losing this person began furiously chatting at me & between the many expletitives was the mentioning of "reporting my avatar." So being the socially perfuct person I tend to be, I immediately changed my avatar. But have been bothered over this retalitative affront I felt compelled to accept. Was I breaking CC rules? I see in the forum guidelines that "porno" is unacceptable as an avatar. Yet is non-photographical art which depicts all or some part of a denuded figure, in CC, tossed in along with "pornographic"?

As much as I disagree with they way this rule is enforced in this manner, it was, in fact, against the rules. I wish it wasn't, but it is. Sorry

Why is there a 7 on that dice?

Oh, and let's just survey the other "safe for family entertainment avatars we see on this site"

There's Jesus's "flicker":

David Hasselhof's package:

A little "crack":

But you don't get there until without opening the top button first

Any pictures depicting nudity, whether they are pornographic in nature or not are against the guidelines.

If you have questions about a particular avatar, just create an e-ticket on it or PM a mod.

So in short, the above examples are fine, but Michelangelo's David is not (unless you put a monkey hand over the pee pee part).

Hey, wait a second, TSM all changed their sig to a monkey with a chainsaw. How lame is that!
