Sigs, Avatars, etc.

[osugrad21]

Guys and Gals,

Without us getting into a long drawn out discussion on defining taste and morals, let's please keep in mind that each one of us is representing BP with every post. Knowing that, let's use some common sense when it comes to Sig Pictures/Animations, Sig Lines, and Avatars. As we all know, we have plenty of recruits, families, and coaches visiting this board.

Things have escalated lately in regards to sexual content and simply telling folks to disable sigs is not really an easy solution anymore.

Clarity is planning to have a system in place that will only allow sigs in certain areas of the site. However, until that time comes, let's all use common sense when choosing how we represent the site.

Thanks for understanding.

I would assume, and it's a cartoon. I think he was referring to bouncing tits, ass shots, and anything along those lines. It's simply a matter of class and respect to visitors cause we're not a porno site

 

[smith288]

I meant that as a joke because of my Stewie avatar...

naked watermelon head is ok here

I encourage everyone to use common sense when it comes to having sigs or avatars. Lets keep this a site dedicated to OSU sports and a site that is popular with recruits and their families.

Think anyone finds Benito Mussolini offensive? I could always go back to Quagmire

Hey, for once... lets not turn this into a post padding exercise.

 

[Golferdow01]

I only see one instance of padding in this thread, the rest seem legit to me including my question

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

My opinion is if its "sexual" in nature, its shouldn't be in a sig or avatar on BP, now your avatar is not offensive to me, but if BP received complaints then it would be addressed.

I thought it was Marlon Brando


if there are any questions about new sigs/avatars, PM a mod before you put it on... you'll be able to get an answer before it can become a problem.

 

[Golferdow01]

Sounds good, let me know via PM if it bothers anybody, but I change avatars frequently so it probably won't matter. I as well assumed his thread was meant to address the sexually explicit issues

For the most part, but we've also had some other questionable choices lately. Look, this isn't anything set in stone or some new rule, just a general request to tone it down somewhat.

Well you'll get nothing but agreement out of me. I use sigs and avatars to identify posters and having to turn them off at work is somewhat inconvenient
