Default inappropriate avatars

it has been brought to my attention, through a number pf PM's, that some avatars used by Australian users are inappropriate for a a forum such as R/C Tech... consider your obligations when you signed up...

"By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."

i would suggest that "messages" includes images and avatar images... if you are unsure of what's kosher consider what you see on free to air tv (SBS excepted!LOL!!) as a guide to what is considered 'acceptable' in Australian society

...What happens if you have a picture of your girlfriend and she is a centre fold model and you are just showing people who you are going out with?

...ok, so that's an impossible scenario...at least for me. I recon Itchy B has a chance though

i think this scenario would be ok as long as she's a centrefold model for ralph/fhm/inside sport (it's especially ok if she's an inside sport model), as opposed to those other magazines that you buy in service stations and come sealed in plastic

I've got to agree with this tho, there are some people with some pretty tasteless avatars

i think the point is if you want to check out porn you shouldn't find it too hard to find some on the internet but r/c tech should be for r/c tech

what you check out in your time on your computer is your business no need to include it in your contributions to r/c tech - porn (using the term loosely) isnt everyones cup of tea

tomb - you go girl

i think it's 'spose to be one of those Davinci code type religious conspiracy theories of some sort. who knows...i just typed in Mary Magdalene into google pics and that's the first "nudie" religious image i got

...yea i only just realised the first pic

lol anyway, i've changed my avatar just for the heck of a stir...

i think this is one of the "offending" images
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/im...ra-Posters.jpg
do not click above if you are under 18

notice how she looks like she is thinking dirty thoughts? the tilt of the head, the sideways glance, the slightly open mouth which insinuates an increased heartrate and breathing rate...all these are "sexual" signs. the head position is submissive, yet showing signs of curiosity, yet the body posture is confident and implying, "i'm ready"
that's what makes it so "naughty" Plus she is, at what seems to me to be a truck stop in the USA. this conjures up images and memories of the coke ads with the sexy girl "pumping" gas for you, and those "desperate farmgirl" images hollywood has provided for us
wereas my Religious Mary Magdalene picture looks "saintly" and strangely "uninviting"

mind you in it's day, the Mary Magdalen image was a massive wow moment, and no doubt probably got banned by the church, just like Michaelangelos statue fo that dude naked. I think it was a statue of David


Sex, and sexual images, and here is my point, is in the eye of the beholder

BUT DAMN! far out carmen electra is so fricken hot! she HAS to be perfection personified

cast your votes here
