Possible removal of partial nudity in sigs and avatars

Polska just remove the signature nobody wants to be subjected to the sight of a half naked shemale every time you post

Why are they justified?

Because they can be a genuine cause for embarrassment.

If they're so worried they can just use ad blocker.

Or partial nudity in signatures and avatars can be banned. Why should they be kept?

That's when you know you are wrong.

I'd say get rid of them. Personally they don't bother me and it's not an issue for me but I can see why it would be for others.

Really don't see how someone can get so worked up about the possibility of them being removed though.

It's not just what your parents will think when they see it. It's using it in a public place, that's the issue. You can always stop and explain what's going on to your parents. Just because people use this forum in a public place, doesn't mean they have no life. It's even more ironic when the person saying that has about 25,000 posts. And how is it more embarrassing to have people see you on a forum (which isn't possible unless they are staring at your screen and reading) than see pictures of half naked or nude women on your screen? Does it ruin your reputation and make people think you are actually involved in discussions rather than maintaing your obsession with women?

That was a pretty pathetic stab at me, Che.

Put him on your fanboys list, that'll show him.

The general consensus is that forums are a bit geeky.

So the answer to the last question is yes then.

I don't personally have a problem with them, but I understand why people want them banned, so I voted Yes.

I personally have a bigger problem with gifs.

If you turn the petty jab into a proper question, then I might answer it.

This.

I can see a reason for them to go, but is there a strong reason why people need them as their sigs?

I agree with Zlatan and Harrold.

Yes, why not look for a tiny bit of code on the internet that will give the option to make signatures optional? Brilliant idea Jelavic.

I keep asking what the benefits are of keeping them and I receive no responses.

Because there are none. But then again there are not many benefits out of any sig or avatar. It's the negatives that come with it that is the problem.

What are the benefits of you being on this forum? Same for me .. there are no benefits ..

Doesn't mean we should leave though.

I agree with some people with their reasons for wanting rid of them. But personally I have no problem with them.

You say there are no benefits, but what are the benefits of your sig and ava, Blade?

Are you mentally challenged? There are plenty of benefits. This forum allows me to discuss matters I care about at a somewhat in-depth level. It allows me to pass the time. It allows me to socialise with people from across the globe. What are you even saying? Think things through next time instead of boring me with utter drivel like that.

Lots.

- Increase of football knowledge
- Increase of general knowledge
- Sharing of ideas/experiences

If you don't find any benefits of this forum, why are you on here?

I think people are just mad because every time they see a half nude picture, they're reminded of something they'll never get, and it depresses them.

Identification purposes. You see my avatar and you instantly recognise that that's me.

Or we see your name..

And is it not possible to identify someone by their avatar and sigs then? Surely when you see:



You know it's Polksa?

That's incorrect. I get the benefit of talking about football to someone, wouldn't have too many people to talk about football with without this forum.

There is pretty much like 2 people can talk about football with over here. Especially since a lot of people don't watch anything but the National Team.

There are plenty of people with similar names like the Dans and the Jords. Without their avatars, things would be a lot more confusing.

To be fair I still can't tell the fuckers apart.

I think it's because they are all Liverpool fans, they're like a hive mind.
