Question Poor Taste Avatars

I am noticing a few members here are using what I would regard as poor taste avatars - those with a sexual nature.

Is this going to be continued to be allowed?

While I don't really mind some nice looking avatar's, it does make it difficult (if not impossible) to browse from work at times. If someone came by and caught a glimpse of some of them, they might question what I'm doing

Yeah, it's been a while. I'd like to think I started the trend a couple years back. But now look at me!

So, who will be the authority on taste here?

Yes, some avatars are rather tasteless. Especially the lame soft porn pics. I'd rather the rules won't be made stricter regarding this, because then also tasteful sexy or even erotic avatars would be in trouble.

One can always turn off the avatars in the CP. And you shouldn't be posting from work anyway....

Girl body parts are getting really large.. My nephew who was ten was here the other day watching what I was typing in the forum. He had seen that Family Guy kids and told could you give it to me, but the want one where he's getting nursed by his mom was not so good. As his dad would be P-O at me..

Yeah, I noticed it too. I was on the forum the other night and my wife thought I was on a porn site. I assume that some are sexually frustrated and use those avatars for attention.
