OT Thread XV: Too Deep For You

[*Bob Richards*]

Folks, we've had recent complaints about the "stabbing eye" avatars/pictures. I know it sums up the Rangers perfectly, but it has been clarified to us that it IS against our rules to be posting that picture, let alone using it as an avatar.

So, if you could, please stop posting that picture, and if you have it as your avatar, please remove it.

Thanks.

I'll bump this just for the new page.

Sorry kids, looks like you'll have to find a new theme.

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

allright, i'll join in on the facepalms instead

That's the spirit! Doubt people can be offended by that.

 

[Ail]

I understand it is technically a family site or whatever, it just pisses me off that people can whine to get what they want, and everyone else has to suffer for it.

 

[The Perfect Paradox]

I actually find Ailurophile's avy to be more offensive than the other ones.

 

[Clowes Line]

Yes, the picture of Sestito royally offends me.

 

[Kershaw]

Damn that sucks. The hilarity and humor on here was almost taking my mind away from the Rangers sucking.

 

[Kershaw]

Sponsors, sponsors everywhere.

I see the subliminal message in that avatar.

Rangers are soft

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

That looks exactly like MY kitten.

Nice.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

lol People got offended by that? More like people like complaining about every little thing. I'll comply but holy hell there are more offensive things than that floating around. hahah I like the avy with the kitten I might get on that myself.

 

[Thirty One]

Nice.

Kittens are adorable. Not a fan of cats, however. Still haven't found a solution to this problem.

I don't know, I'm pretty offended. That kitten is just not fluffy enough, do you have something against fluffy kittens?

Legitimate question: We just can't show the act of inflicting pain or violence right? Blood is apparently acceptable as there are many with avatars

of players/actors/themselves covered with blood from a wound or what-not. Again, this is a serious question, I'm just trying to understand this.

Blood is ok but it's the "act of stabbing" that was offensive?

It's the act of bodily trauma, cartoon or not, that is against site rules.

I'm certainly not arguing. But there are avatars out there that are just as bad if that's the case. I'm fine with whatever, I like this avatar better anyway, but surfing through the main boards for the last 5 minutes I saw avatars that I could apply the same rule towards.

And we are constantly removing avatars that break said rules. This one was a bit more obvious as a sizable demographic of this board was using it.

Would the same picture, but with the sword not having gone through the eye yet (obviously no blood as well), be acceptable?

Well like I said I like this one better anyway I'm just trying to get a better understanding of this rule.

 

[The Gloaming]

Wow, we're such a society of pansies. There's thousands of children kidnapped everyday, never to be returned to their parents, and yet people are upset over HFBoards avatars. That's just wonderful.

If you're talking about something similar to this:

I don't see why not.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

People breathing offends me.

What if it was still the sword but same position?
