Looks like the root of the problem is that some people doesn't wants to give up on a way to annoy others by using vulgar usernames, that's all.

because you guys are doing the exact same thing
i mean this wasn't even a problem for anyone other than some members who think "EWW GIRLS, EWW GROWS, THEY HAVE COOTIES" and dazz as far as i'm aware until it was brought up

It wasn't a problem until the staff actually decided to step in and say "hey, there's literally too much profanity and indecency on this site, it's a site for sprites."

If you absolutely have to have an indecent avatar/signature/username, then you can go have one somewhere else, tSR is making these changes soon and we really don't want to hear tons of complaining about it.

Also, it's not the fact that some members don't "like girls" or think they're gross. I love women, myself. And most everything about them- but that still doesn't change the fact that this a spriting website geared for those searching for things related to video games, not a huge spam board. Nor is it a place for constant profanity, either.

I remember the staff saying a couple years ago that this place didn't welcomed 4-chan like behaviors either.
So, it's really not something they just brought out, this is from years ago.

The discovery Kids resource.

there, i said it.

I'm a girl and I don't see a problem if you guys like your porn, hentai and any sort of sexuality stuff. You can go all S&M for all I care. Human beings are driven by instinct too and we all need our healthy dose of sex. However you get your fix is your problem, no one have nothing to do with that. But you absolutely need to show off your personal collection at a site that having nothing to do with that? Would you do this at a cooking forums for example? Most places won't let you register or use those types of nicknames, and there is a good chance you might be banned or at least warned if you use inappropriate avatars and signatures.
If you want to use those, try 4chan ;p

lold hard.

I could go into why I personally don't like the fad of HURR SEXY LAYDEE avs but I'd probably just get reamed and I'm smarter than that.

But you must be able to accept that some people don't want to see it. Is it really, really so much to ask that you just respect that? You're overreacting to a pretty simple request.

There are plenty of forums where you can discuss HURRR HURR TITS and flaunt your sexuality as if it makes you in any way special, but this isn't one of them.

we're not talking about art, or artistic expression. We're talking about whether or not you're allowed to use cropped softcore as avatars on a forum with a broad age span. Please do not claim this is anything to do with expression or anything else, and at least be honest enough to say "Hey, I like titties." or "Hey, I'm attention starved", or whatever.

You seem like a nice guy, Rhymey, but putting on this avatar and signature is a 12 years-old-like response :p

It's Misa Campo as well, pick somebody who isn't overused.

More like a 13- or 14-year-old's bloated hormones that apparently can't be controlled.

Also, fyi, as rude as it is to point-out names, sweet georgia brown's avatar is worse than Rhymey's.

actually i've had this set for a long time but i rarley post outside of spamhaul anymore since i dont sprite, so you probably never noticed it??

And I rarely post outside the Sprite Submissions, I think that explains a lot.

RetroX, I'm quite sure you noticed that you're talking about 1up, that's to be expected to him. And I'm surprised no one had complained about him at this thread until now

i got permission from dex to use this avatar(suck it)



it's not even that bad though i dont see why he's complaining about it
it's a joke from ptold that made me nostalgia when i saw it, but apparently since its his first time seeing it OH NO BAD IMAGES, REPORTED

I'm not really complaining about it as much as I'm pointing out the fact that it's more "immature" than just a naked girl like Rhymey's. It's still annoying, though.
