Avatars

Can something be done about sexual avatars? I cruise the site at work and I often have to quickly scroll down a page so that someone isn't offended. Is it really necessary to have softcore porn as an avatar on a poker site?

Go to your user preferences and select "don't show avatars"

I checked for clarity, the option you want is "View other user's pictures in their profile and user list?" (no) and "View user's pictures with their posts?" (no)

But then I would be denied the hilarity of people who have reasonable avatars.

I just think it's funny that a heavily moderated, heavily censored site allows porn to be randomly broadcast in people's avatars.

If you see an avatar you think crosses the link, PM somebody. Mat's given us carte blanche to remove offensive avatars as we see fit.

So you're saying the rules are in place but only enforced if someone complains?

Why not just be proactive?

Why not take it upon yourself to make them a list of all the terrible avatars?

I have this set up this way, but I still see all avatars. I have had to wind up using Adblock to block all images from photobucket, imageshack, etc., which is a horrible way to have to do it, because I miss all images in posts, too.

I hate all the animated avatars. Not only does it hurt my eyes to have 8 different things animated all at once, so many of tha avatars are offensive. MasterLJ's avatar, for instance, shows a man runing up to a woman and smacking her in the head and knocking her off a chair. WTF. Violence against women is hilarious. I am glad 2+2 allows this in people's avatars.
