andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Can we get inappropriate avatars banned/removed from site? Specifically thinking about "J.B." Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yes, male genitalia is not something to be displayed. (I'm struggling to not make a comment involving the name "Jemison" here.) Thank you for the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Yep, our standard for avatars is even a bit stricter than family friendly / safe for work. We want the place to be inviting to all fans, so even bikini photos and such are strongly discouraged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family FriendlySafe for WorkInviting to all FansBikini Photos Well, that pretty much eliminates 2/3rds of the Ag College's football team. How about photos with a "wardrobe malfunction"?

I think that's what led us to crack down in the first place like 5 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I agree. It is nice to be able to open Siouxsports at home and not have to worry about kids looking over my shoulder at questionable avatars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a bit much the amount of swearing that goes on and it is not conducive to a family friendly site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a bit much the amount of swearing that goes on and it is not conducive to a family friendly site. Good question. The current official rule is "No profanity or obscenity". Of course, that's pretty subjective. We've traditionally tried to prevent the big two, though have let things like sh$t go through unless an individual becomes excessive. Other words that you might be considering profanity are often also moderated for being offensive sexual innuendo. If something is getting out of hand, we're open to suggestion.
