It honestly doesn't matter- we're trying to increase the stature and viewpoint of the forum, and by allowing signatures and avatars with almost naked women in them makes us look... sort of unprofessional.
You might say, well, Dex, isn't this a mature enough forum to handle such things as suggestive images?
Well, gee, yes, in some cases, but it's also a forum immature enough to complain about the nature of a SPAMHAUL and such. We're also a spriting forum, which appeals to youth; I joined when I was only 13, so it's obvious that younger members are going to be the standard, or at least the substandard.
People that don't want to see specifically one certain avatar should have to turn avatars off just because of that; it'd be much easier to just change said avatar, which is what you'll probably start seeing.
tSR is aiming to be a more friendly and mature website- by eliminating pointless names and signatures/avatars like the ones above, we start to enhance those ideals, which is why we're taking this first step now.
That's not to say that images like such will be grounds for banning- no no, we'll still allow them in SPAMHAUL, but we've got to start being less tolerant of what goes on everywhere else.
We hope you all understand!
