Vegas Woody & Cgar Dan

Ok ya'll at the risk of coming off puritan, please clean up your fucking avs and sig lines. There are other sites where you can use those pics. I'm a member at some of those as well.

In my mind, there's been a long-standing rule here that goes something like "this is a site that is safe for work and home even if you walk away from your desk and someone like your 11-year-old daughter were to scroll through it, you'd have nothing to explain or be embarassed about." Which is why I'm comfortable leaving this site up on my browser.

Dan, yours is misogynist and Woody, yours looks like a woman trying to piss in her own mouth.

Yup..... Basil is right..... VegasWoody, you gotta change the Avatar..... it is NSFW

CgarDan's doesn't look too bad..... isn't there a way to turn off the sigtags

**basil** · 06-25-2006, 08:32 PM

Hell, it looks great

- it's just that it's not what this site is all about.

Good looking out Ted. I agree about VegasWoody's avatar and CgarDan's signature, definitely not appropriate as some people view the boards from work. It'd be a good idea to take them down fellas...

I appologize if the sig caused any problems that was not intended at all. I have removed it. Sorry again

Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you care? Not trying to be a smartass, but are you a moderator for this board? I notice you use the word fuck in your signiture. Seems more offensive than my thonged beer lady in my opinion.

- Evidently, my reasons for caring don't matter to you. So maybe the rest of this post is pointless. Giving you the benefit of the doubt though, stick around and you might get it.
- No, I'm not a moderator. This is a self-moderated board. One on which you'd do well to read more than post for now.
- I do see a difference between profanity and degradation of women. Had I wanted to get into a pissing match with you over this, I'd've asked you your opinion. I didn't.
- As I implied earlier, if you want to use these kinds of avs, there are other sites.

What I've done here is politely and generously given you a heads up. Have I taken a liberty regarding mores here at this site? Yeah. I'll take my fucking chances. At any rate, there's no excuse for your rudeness and acting like an asshole.

So, you seemed ok coming onto this board. Please don't disappoint and dig a deeper hole.

I did what you asked and you still flame me? As far as reading the thread goes, the quote above is from the opening post. I took his reference to an 11 year old girl to mean family friendly.

In my family, we don't use the F word in front of 11 year olds, but to each it's own. Evidently it's fine to cuss all you want around here. Just trying to fit in.

Someone walking by your desk at work isn't going to read the word fuck on your monitor from 5 feet away. If you have a provocative picture on your screen, thats a different story.

Agreed. Exactly the same as if an 11 year old daughter walks past. She probably won't read fuck in size 12 font, but she sure as heck is going to see a picture of a semi-nude woman on the pc screen

Ya hear that Kevin...you can't say fuck or cuss anymore...

**VegasWoody** · 06-27-2006, 12:04 AM

Hex,

That makes perfect sense. Had it been explained to me like that this morning, I would have removed the photo sooner. The fact is I was asked to do something by someone I didn't know and in return I asked why. Sorry that offended you Basil.

What's wrong..... didn't get my PM..... here it is again....

Woody......

The best bet would be for you to remove your avatar... no need to get into a pissing match with one of the established members over a picture. Basil is not a moderator and neither am I... but this is a self moderated forum and we are asking you to change your avatar. Guys who come here visit while they are at work and at home with their family members... it might be a little embarassing if someone had to explain to his boss or their daughter what the pic was.

As far as Basil's sigtag having the word "fuck" in it.... you are comparing apples to oranges... Pictures tend to catch peoples eye... That is why the most interesting pictures are placed on the covers of magazines in the supermarket.... to catch your attention....

I think that is what basil is trying to avoid.... your avatar catching the attention of people it is not supposed to.....
