Is it really necessary to allow semi-nude and/or sexually implicit animated gifs as forum avatars on CG?

I like to read through these forums while at work, and allowing these kids to have partially nude or sexually suggestive avatars is a real turn off and for a community that is trying to shy away from societies image as all gamers being immature dickheads, you're not setting a very good example.

In Cybergamer's own terms of service you say require that "Your submitted content is not illegal, indecent, profane..."

Additionally, when uploading an avatar people are warned "Uploading inappropriate avatars will see your avatar rights revoked"

Who defines what is and isn't indecent/inappropriate? I'd honestly like to know.

Please note that I have no problem with specifically sated "NSFW" threads, however when I'm reading an ordinary thread I'm getting sick of seeing the following avatars that are simply inappropriate to be viewing on a work computer.

Few examples I found from a single thread.





Please keep the trolls away from this thread, as well as those who are going to say "Well don't read gaming forums while at work", it's my job to know what the gaming community is doing.


TL;DR Version:

Can someone do something about the influx of pre-pubescent kids uploading NSFW avatars on the forum.

stop being a bitch
pretty sure you can disable sigs and avatars in your profile options anyway l0l

Whats going on ?

You make a very good point. But you will find immaturity on an individual level regardless of the community.

But ask yourself, why should I have to block everyone's Sig/Avatars due to a handfull of immatures?

Also, where?

You do realize everyone using my Stoya avatars aren't kids, and are over the age of 18 bar 1 person.
Mate just rub one off at work in the toilets, no one will notice.

You should be banned for posting said gifs.

Neg pretty sure you can only disable signatures.

half of the peoples avatars/profile/sigs are not work safe anyway by any stretch so you want ones that you specifically dont agree with to be removed?

Pretty sure there is several under the age of 18.

let me ask you a question. are you gay?

What other avatars do you believe are NSFW neg? I was going to include the bikini shots but wanted to minimise the chance of being called a muslim fundamentalist.


Back to your console kid, the adults are talking.

Cheeers ill just take the top gif

You make a valid point Uncle Buck. realistcally only the top one is inapropriate. But the site is full of kids, I don't know where to draw the line. No one is really naked, it's only softcore. More of a support ticket thing.

gtfo idiot, this conversation requires common sense.

Shut up Bran you're not helping my lie.
