A while ago there was a stink made that some users of American citizenship were treating this site like it was just an American one. Well this rule change has proved that they were right. This is the most American move ever, and it is terrible. Completely overblown moral reactionism to a few people having fun with sexy avatars. Not graphically offensive ones, just showing a little skin. What else can you expect from "we know better than you" Americans than this?

Ugh... for all the things that I am proud of my country for, this is DEFINITELY not one of them. Thanks Admins and mods for making this site a little less fun day by day. And Man Bear Pig, thanks for being a douche.

Oh, and your girlfriend is terrible, hope she breaks up with you.

the resistance speaks.


What a way of being a jerk.  A lot of people agree with this change so shut up.  This is a game site not porn. It really is as simple as that.  And I dont see any other game site allowing you to do this either.  It does look bad, and it makes this site look bad because all of the immature crap that goes on here.

So sensual images of hot women and men are immature now? Is sex immature? Don't be silly...it's exactly the opposite of immature, because you start thinking about it when you mature.

and P.S. thinking about sex does not make you mature.  Do you really think 13 year olds are mature?  That comment didn't even make sense

It makes more sense than yours. How is thinking about sex immature? It just doesn't work like that, whether you want to believe it or not.

lmao once again I was not talking about the avatars when I said immature.  Get a clue

sorry, perhaps it wasn't very funny but it was a joke nonetheless, not a serious observation. I'm gay, hence males= yes but females = no thanks. Again , an attempt at wit.

disclaimer- I don't mind boobs at all. The more the merrier, I say.

No, two per woman are enough.

I don't know man, that chick in Total Recall was pretty smokin with her extra titty.   

WARNING***********WARNING********** If you find female in bikini/bra avatars offensive, DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!!!!!



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Bump!

It seems the mods (or maybe it's just kantor, I don't know) have un-done the rule about topless avatars by allowing pezus to have the following avatar:

I enjoy pictures like this as much as the next guy, but I don't want them showing up when I'm on this forum. It'll start an influx of sexual avatars and this site will once again become unusable when I'm in a public place...the NSFW forum is there because it keeps all NSFW material in one place so people know whether or not to visit it when they're in work/school/whatever, but when people have NSFW avatars and are posting in tonnes of different types of threads then the entire forum becomes NSFW.



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

That image isn't topless. Topless (female) avatars are still not allowed.

mbr needs to stop be such a prude. There were far racier avatars in years past. I also think he should look up 'topless' as brassiere/courset is not topless.

It's overtly sexual, and if I was on VGChartz on my phone in public (which i do alot) people would think I'm on some sort of porn site or some shit. Besides, that avatar is the exact same one that pezus had when Machina implemented the rule and he made pezus change it

I'm guessing you go on VGChartz using a laptop or desktop? Well I don't, I do 100% of my VGChartz use using my iPhone when I'm out and about, and it's uncomfortable viewing a site when you're with people and you don't know when a topless male (or female) is gonna pop onto the screen. Besides, I'm anything but prudish...anyone who knows me on this site will know that I'm probably one of the least prudish people here, I just don't want to go back to the days when I had to cover my phone when I was on vgchartz because of people thinking its some dodgy dating forum or some shit

I browse VGC at work and at home. If there are ever circumstances where avatars/signatures can have racy imagery, then I disable avatars/signatures. VGC is already strict on their avatar policy and there are many forums with 0 restrictions or regulations on it. Consider it nice that it's SFW as is.

The only reason it's as SFW work as it is now, is because when I made this thread the head admin at the time (Machina) changed the rules regarding topless/sexual avatars. In March (when I originally made this thread), there were 5 semi-naked men avatars floating around...see OP for my story about that. Anyway, VGChartz has been fine for the last 6 months in terms of sexual avatars, I just don't want things to go back to the way they were in March, that's all. Besides, there is no option to disable avatars
