T & A everywhere, somewhere, or nowhere?

[FKAGobucks877]

Vote for what you think. If you're confused as to where this came from, read the BP discussion poll started by 21. Or at least read from page 10 on. Ok, I'll sum up:

Some users are a little frustrated (understandably so) because of the seeming increase in T&A in avatars and sig's. BP is a community where we are encouraged to make of it what we will, so let's have your opinions. Some want less T&A because they post a lot at work. Others don't care. Keep in mind there is a feature wherein a user can disable avatars, sig's, or both, but many users like the majority of them, so don't want to resort to using this feature. Tell us what you think.

are you gonna make this a poll, or do you just want us to voice our opinion?

I know this place is very against censorship, but I think limiting T&A is a good idea... at least keep it out of avatars. I have sigs turned off anyways because it makes the boards much easier to read, so I don't care if there is T&A there.

Relax, trigger, I was working on it...

You can turn sigs and avatars off so I chose other.

Most avatars aren't that bad in my opinion.

Avatars should be clean, IMO. Sigs I don't really care about. T&A pictures in threads are ok as long as the number of them don't get too out of hand.

The thing about avatars is, that's how most people identify which poster is which... I rarely look at peoples monikers because I have the avatars memorized... except for Jwins', he changes his avatar like underwear. If I had to turn off avatars because of questionable content, I'd be confused for weeks.

Do people act like the entire family sits down and looks at this message board like it is TV or something? I don't get it.

I voted no restrictions, rock on.

 

[IronBuckI]

I agree with Thump. If you don't like the sigs then use the tools to turn them off. I voted for the clean avatars and PG13 sigs mostly because I didn't realize that you could turn avatars off too, but I think that increased frustration would stop if people would use the tools that are given to them by the site.

What, like once a week?

I went with 'other'.

I think avatars should be reasonably clean, no nudity, no cussing, no partial T&A. Somebody mentioned Jaxbuck's in the other thread - I think that's OK as an avatar; it's suggestive, but there's not even any partial nudity.

I think sigs should be under the same guidelines as any pictures that can be attached in the forums. No 'Romper room' only sigs allowed.

If possible, with some extra work from Clarity, sigs could be disabled at the user-level in the football forums only, but shown in the other forums. If somebody just wants to check the football talk at work, then they could do that without turning the sigs off each time. Not everybody has the ability to turn their monitor away from the eyes of others.

But I think we should consider always dropping sigs in the recruiting forums.

In what I believe to be the general spirit of the board, personal freedom (within reasonable guidelines) should rule. Built-in board features allow for the self-expression of some to be inoffensive to the sensibilities of others. Sigs can be turned off, individual posters can be placed on ignore. Someone will have to explain this to Nutty since he blanked me out today.

I don't know how often he changes his underwear.... evidently you do though homo

Clarity is already two steps ahead of ya BB. He mentioned this himself a week or two ago.

My philosophy for this is simple...use common sense.

I believe I speak for all the residents of the winners circle (VR, BKB, and myself) when I invite you to join us.

Since when do you get to place yourself in the winner's circle?

Well, there's a surprise, C-dog ahead of me. :tongue2:

I thought of it yesterday, and meant to PM him about it before suggesting it on a post, but once the poll started I wanted to get it into the thread before it went off God-knows-where.

Excuse me, supreme-being-slash-creator-slash-intelligent-designer-slash-mustard-designer-if-you-believe-in-that-sort-of-thing-knows-where.

Didn't want to offend anybody.
