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

Enough with the blatant lies. At the time of the rule implementation pezus went through numerous avatars that showed naked men and these pictures were chosen by you. I know it. pezus knows it. But more importantly, you know it. Which means you are attempting to deliberately start something. You want to rile up people again.

Play nice now.


You've got it all wrong. I made this thread because of the topless male avatars becoming way too much...thats a completely separate thing than when I controlled pezus' avatar. When i controlled his avatar I changed it every day for a month, but they were just funny (and sometimes sexual) stuff and they never lasted more than a day. Besides, when Machina implemented the rule, my control over pezus' avatar had ceased, and he was using the one he currently has and Machina DID make him change it

I don't really care.. Mine is kinda rude but nothing is showing at all so doesn't brake the rules. If your worried about being on this site in public then don't go on it.. You know.. Talk with friends and stuff.. Do some work.. I dunno.. Just don't sit on a gaming forum?

I would like to add I don't want to fall out with anyone and I love you all

Oh, what have I created. This seriously needs to be clarified.

The rule has always been against overtly sexual avatars. That rule remains in place. All that has changed is what is regarded as an overtly sexual avatar. Cleavage/shirtlessness in and of themselves are not overtly sexual. A picture of, say, Kratos, or Bayonetta, is not sexual. Pezus is borderline, now that I look at it, but yours honestly looks like something out of a porno. The breast out and being cupped, the face to one side and the lipstick being applied.

So yes, it does break the rules.

Thank you. Somebody actually remembers how it went down. Seems like MBP has forgotten


If I hadn't given you some of those avatars then the mods might've not changed the rules. It was for the greater good

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.

Oh, Jesus man, get a grip. What's wrong with this avatar exactly and who would think less of you if they saw you browsing a site with a picture like that? I suppose people shouldn't be able to upload beach photos to FB now either.


It'll start an influx of people using NSFW avatars again. Also, Machina deemed it inappropriate when he implemented the rule, so I don't see why the rules should be any different now.

Besides, you've told me yourself that the only reason you use avatars like this is to increase your profile views...

Okay, so I think the topless avatars are getting out of control. This is primarily a gaming website and so, such content should'nt be allowed IMO. Yesterday I was on vgchartz on my iPad, and my girlfriend saw it and thought it said 'gayConnect' instead of 'gamrConnect', and a topless guy avatar was on the screen which didnt help matters!

Also, I dont want to hide the fact that im on vgchartz, but it has got to a stage where people im with think it's a gay community/ straight porn forum, and im not comfortable being on it when im with people because you never know which avatar is going to pop up as you're browsing the forums.

'Didnt you have a hot girl avatar like 2 minutes ago you menstrual douche?', is what you are thinking.

Yes! But now i have seen the light.

What do YOU think about the topless avatars?

I think you're over reacting.  I mean, topless avatars, what's next, banning Video games because they're violent? 

When does the madness end?
