To address the issue:
While I'm reluctant to compare the two sites so often, on NeoGAF signatures aren't even allowed and I can probably only think of one shirtless avatar that I remember from the site (which wasn't outright sexual and has now been changed). Obviously the rule can be tweaked and changed but the level of inappropriate avatars was becoming excessive. Regardless of where you're browsing the site from, no one needs to see hyper-sexualized avatars of shirtless men as well as women in bikinis just because they want to read some news on their favorite games. The rule is still up for discussion but I'd ask for people to be mature on the issue and discuss it in a civil manner. |
I have a suggestion. For people that it bothers maybe there should be an option to turn off the avatar pics.

This doesn't account for lurkers or people who are new to the site (not to mention one shouldn't have to block every avatar or specific ones just to avoid inappropriate ones).

That would be a good idea Amp but it requires editing the site. Why would they do that for the few people it bothers? Besides, the new site should be coming soon and who knows what that has to bring. I don't understand what is so bad with this. I didn't mind the avatars (except that one that Pezus uploaded. O_O) but how hard is it just to follow guidlines? It's not like they are moderating every single thing you do. It is a semi-good idea Amp but one that would take a waste of time.
