Also read my edit to the last post.

As far as Im aware I was talking about public schools and jobs that you are working in public as well ;)

Anything that has rules has standards including a site.

Read my edit.

A school has a purpose. To educate students and prepare them for the real work world. Thus, professional rules such as dress codes should apply. Also, another purpose is to efficiently get schoolwork done without being distracted by other things - such as attractive people. So it makes sense to look professional.

A job office has a purpose. One of those is to efficiently get work done without being distracted by other things - such as very attractive people. Another is to appear professional in front of consumers so they can think highly of your product. So it makes sense to look professional.

This forum has a purpose. That is for people to come here and talk. Just like people meeting on the streets to talk. Or just like that girl in Carl's avatar going to dinner to talk. In these places - open forums, public streets, public restaraunts, etc -  there is no purpose to look professional.

You keep saying certain avatars aren't appropriate for professional settings. Have you realized you should not be on this website in a professional setting?
