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.

you won't believe how many half naked i have to see only when i wish to check my e-mails on the front page of my e-mail sites.

i just wonder why everyone is comparing it now with neogaf an so on. i thought this is another site? i thought this is the site were you could always chose an own avatar without a problem? this is one of the reasons why i'm here, because i had some kind of freedom here and have a signature here and not in some other forums. ok, i didn't think that i will chose this site because of that as my forum but i think this is the reason why i stayed and not in other forums, because i liked the look of this forum. i mean, if every site would be the same why do we even need different forums? i think some other things are better there as well shouldn't we change that as well here to get a better site? why don't we all just go to neogaf now?

I'm comparing it to NeoGAF to give a sense of the types of rules other forums have regarding avatars, not to say that Vgchartz has to be exactly likely NeoGAF.
