minx Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 i'm either the best or the very worst person to open up this topic but here it goes. Hey, I was thinking: If we are trying to make the site more friendly and to welcome women, should we maybe talk about avatars like scott_harpell's ? I don't know who he is, so I have nothing against him personally, but that avatar is horrible. Lummox's was pretty bad, but Scott's is friggen irritating to no end. Do other women find this offensive? this is the text from a PM i received today. i think it's a pretty interesting thought. i'm pretty thick skinned about stuff like this so i hadn't even noticed scott's avatar. however, i can see why a fair number of women would be annoyed with it. i'm not sure it's a problem since the girl in scott's avatar pic is dressed. maybe it's just that an animated avatar is annoying? anybody want to comment. i'd be happy to hear from people on this via PM if you don't want to post publicly.

MrDoolittle Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 If you ban his avatar image, you should ban everyones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_W Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I think Scott's pic is just fine. Please allow some expression of individuality in this homogenized, politically correct, latently metrosexual society, for Pete's sake. Better yet, spring for some kegs and we'll all show up in gray jumpsuits and someone can take digital pictures so we can all be our own avatar image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minx Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 i don't want to ban anybody's anything. i was just opening up some discussion. similar to what icegirl was doing with the suggestion of women's forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minx Posted March 11, 2004 Author Share Posted March 11, 2004 gee thanks scotty. if you call me minxie a again i'm going to have to clip carabiners to yer nutz though but for the record, i don't think that was the point of the PM. i think the idea is that avatar pics like might turn away some of the milder female types.

klenke Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Minx, Wilbur has informed me that your avatar image is offensive to all horses who view this site. Please remove it. It's for the horses. Plus, we could always use more horsecock on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlclimber Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Yeah, but if those 'milder female types' are so easily offended, I don't think they belong on this site anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fern Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 at the top of the page click My Home under Main Configuration where it says Display Preferences click edit near the bottom of the page where it says "Show user's pictures with their posts" click No click submit sensitive readers are also reminded of the ignore feature.

Alasdair Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 This country can be so pathetic sometimes. If you took some of these PC idiots to europe they would keel over. For example: The MSN Gemany site. Why the hell can so few people in this country handle a pair of breasts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
