Well, what I think is having a more strict website in terms of sigs and avatars makes it less fun. Heck many websites including sites like neogaf have avatars that are just like the ones from vgc if not worse and that site has game devs and etc. The best solution is to have an option to disable avatars and sigs either instead of being more strict. I personally dont think vgc is in nsfw but rather in the gray area since I do access the site from work at times and making it less fun = zzz

More or less how I see this site, my last sig was apparently nsfw and then I was reminded of this little nugget:

Also different people on here clearly have different views on what is and isn't sfw and what I feel we're getting is some people who have the tightest view of what is nsfw trying to dictate those who see things differently, that's not how any communtiy should work tbh, otherwise levarage has to be made if you want the other side to bow to your ways.

Also I wouldn't advise anyone on ehre who thinks this site isn't sfw to visit Destructoid, shield your innocent eyes from those suggestive gifs lest they melt in embarrassment.

I would totally suggest an option to disable avatars and sigs though, both parties win in that scenario and the others who have theirs blocked don't have to be slapped around each time they want to change their avatar (like it or not that's how it feels).

For the record I don't browse any sites when I'm at work because Im supposed to be working and when I have my breaks I read the newspaper, talk to friends/co-workers, go out and get a bite indoors or out, watch the TV or if my break is long enough, go home and watch tv or browse. You can do a lot more during your work rbeaks than having to always come to this one site on the dot at every break.

Pretty much. Like heck, I got my original name removed from this site (Jizz_Beard_thePirate) cause apperently... It was too lewd... Meanwhile, a professional* tech site that I have been visiting and commenting on for years called Engadget with wayyyy more userbase than vgc perfectly allows it... I am well aware vgc is not Engadget but vgc should be open to the way that othersites handles it so that vgc can be more fun which leads to more users joining and being active.

I think making sites totally sfw discourages many people to be active or even join. For example, if I came to this site the first time and I had my avatar/sig/name removed even though they were perfectly acceptable in other sites I have been to, then I wouldn't come back again. Now of course, this has to be within reason, if my avatar was miss slutty mcwhore with her award winning anal position, then it has to get removed but if its in the gray area, then it should be fine for the most part imo.

*Some of the articles are nonsense but you get the idea
