I agree. Bottomless avatars FTW!

Seriously though. I don't mind them. I used to find them annoying but then I realised that I only felt that way because I wasn't gay. Who knows how those who aren't attracted to females feel when they see girls with their bodies half covered.

If I had it my way, I'd have all sexually uncomforting avatars prohibited. But since that's not going to happen, it's best to be equal avatars of either sex.


Yeah thats how I think about it, its kind of uncomfortable, but fine let them have it... I am going to Wahahahaha...

Sometimes the nearly naked girls are also disturbing... specially if they look like prostitutes ;P

Users have every right to choose an avatar that suits them as long as it fits the VGC requirements, I'm definitely not here to argue that.

All I'll say is that gamrConnect is one of the few regular sites I visit where I think twice about browsing whenever I'm in a public area (such as in my school library or a bookstore). I understand what this site is and how people's avatars play out in the scheme of things (aka it's really not that big of a deal), but others who see these avatars out of context don't have that luxury... and it can lead to some awkward moments.

So much this, and yeah I've gotten "looks" from people while browsing this site before XD

And you always will.

This is a site dedicated to video game sales. Lets not fool ourselves here.

A good fix would be to flag a persons avatar so it won't load while you are logged into your account. Other people can see it, but if you chose to flag it then you won't see it.

Or possibly when you upload an avatar you have to state if it is a little risque. So if a person updates their profile to not display risque avatars, then they will not appear while you browse the site.

I'm not sure how hard these methods would be to implement, but I think the first method would be the best for the user, and it has a good middle ground.

Adblock Plus. Block image.

Huzzah!

QFE (Quoted for emphasis).

That's actually the perfect solution. This way you block all avatars that disturb you and life goes on.

This thread has worked! The amount of NSFW (in my opinion) avatars has fallen by 66%. Now all that remains are the guy who posted in the thread with the pornstar avatar, and monocle man with the 2-dollar whore avatar.



My prediction threads:

Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)

PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)

Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Halo 4 first 9 weeks sales prediction

PS4 to be down YOY in 2015

How about we get an option to disable avatars like we already do for signatures? That way everybody is happy. The pages would probably load faster as well.

This is a good idea. If you're embarassed by a little skin, you should be able to disable it in your settings.

Yeah so when you are at work/school you can change your profile to not show those avatars. Then the avatar will replaced with a default avatar - I think yours is a good choice, lol.

There is NO TOPLESS picture OF A WOMAN on this website. Only men...because you know, we treat each sexuality equally here...

It kinda threw me off guard when I first saw all of the perverted avatars, but I quickly adjusted. It's really not that big a deal. I also want to become an official member of TAPTHAT, Kangi.
