administrator Posted April 2, 2005 Posted April 2, 2005 Sorry to those affected -- we're cracking down a little on provocative avatars. While people have done a good job of following our request to keep it in line with something you might see on the street, the very real concern has been raised about the site being "safe for work". The new standard is going to be whether I'd be embarassed to have my boss standing behind me while reading one of your posts. A little arbitrary, but directly meets the site's "safe for work" goal.

Fedorov Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 I think a Colorado Avalanche or Gopher avatar would be embarassing. Although I really don't have any stake in this, I would like you to reverse your avatar ruling. All members have the option to turn off the avatars in the board settings. Give people the right to choose. I like seeing everyone's personality. Quote

bigmrg74 Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Ummm.... so no more Flashing the old Neck Bolts, eh?? Quote
dakotadan Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 I like seeing everyone's personality. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People can show their personality without being offensive. Ohh, wait. There are plenty of people on here that ARE offensive Quote
Fedorov Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 Is the beatdown of office equipment OK? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That does not seem office safe to me. Quote
Fedorov Posted April 3, 2005 Posted April 3, 2005 People can show their personality without being offensive. Ohh, wait. There are plenty of people on here that ARE offensive <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't need my avatar to upset people. Quote
#1siouxfan22 Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 The wings avatar offends me greatly! Its almost worse that the beat down of office equipment. Quote
Fedorov Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Well that sucks... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You created a hostile work environment for me. It made me lazy and not want to work. I think I will have to retire and force you to financially support me for the rest of my life. Quote
Fedorov Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 The sad part, Fedorov, is that I'm a die-hard Red Wings fan, too. Does that help sway your lawsuit-giddiness in my favor? Think that last avatar of mine was the straw that broke the camel's back? She was H-O-Double-T hott! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your avatar, which seems to be showing now although it wasn't this morning, has made me too lazy to file a lawsuit. You are lucky MM. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Which one do you see? Admin took down my hottie so I was nothing for a few days, but now I'm Snoopy. Quote

NDFAN Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I think Hockeymom has the best Avatar. There should be a poll..... Quote
PCM Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I think Hockeymom has the best Avatar. There should be a poll..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree. Plus, it's G-rated. Quote
Fedorov Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 Is PCM's avatar really lunch friendly? I know it really looks like him, but do we really need to look at someone that old when we are eating? Quote
Fedorov Posted April 5, 2005 Posted April 5, 2005 There should be a poll..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would start one, but I don't know where I would put it. Quote
airmail Posted April 11, 2005 Posted April 11, 2005 I think Hockeymom has the best Avatar. There should be a poll..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So now cute kids make a better avatar than gopher beatings? This place is going soft. Quote
NDFAN Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Maybe there needs to be an avatar hall of fame with it's own link for the not "safe for work" avatars. That way the members can click on the link when it's safe and not when they are reading threads. I'll donate my black jersey as the first! Quote
PCM Posted August 21, 2005 Posted August 21, 2005 Aw gee, thanks. I just switched it back on Friday. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I noticed that. I'd vote for your avatar as being the best on SiouxSports.com. Quote
HockeyMom Posted August 22, 2005 Posted August 22, 2005 Thanks, I think she's pretty cute too. I'm gonna keep it for a while this time......... Quote
