ther is a simple solution. Allow us t disable avatars like we do sigs. It does suck to have all the sexy women avatars because what will come next is the sexy men in response and than this site will be taking a steb back t where its something you come to at home in private vs at work or in public. Its a games site, not a porn site. should be treated as such.

Good to see the old avatars back, i always wondered why i found the site getting less and less interesting.

Do you browse FB only in private? Don't women (and some men) browse celeb rumor websites all the time in public? Who would care if they saw you browsing a website where a woman is not fully-clothed? Is there no freedom in America? Can't a man enjoy good looking women clothed as they want in peace or are they forbidden pleasures like in the Middle East?


to be honest I dont care too much. But like i dsaid next will be the sexy men avatars, and than everytime i load a page it will be a series of sexualized avatars instead of gaming stuff. why would i want to enjoy not-fully clothed women on a gaming site? that is what internet porn is for. It justs brings the class of this website down, and sends the message that this is a teenage boy club not a gaming site. They could easily allow me to disable avatars like i do sigs. I wont complain. this site is about video games, and their sales. besides you are free to post all of these pics in the NSFW section or in threads with approiate titles. it just sucks to see them in all the game related stuff. I would even rgue i should change my avatar, and i would if asked. its not a big deal.

Sexy =/= sexualised.

Sexualised avatars are not allowed. There has been no rule change in the last 24 hours. All that has happened is that I've clarified what the rule has always been. If there is an overwhelming consensus that pezus' avatar is overly sexual, we'll ask him to remove that, but that has nothing to do with the rule as it stands.

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.

seems like it was clarified before. why change it now. pezus's avatar was not ok before, and now you allow it. so now others get similar ones. thats why the rule was there. You say its border line, but it is extremly similar to playstation's gamers, so either let both, or let neither one. The others you mentioned are ok as they are actual video games characters, but even than it may be easier to just ban those too. But really what would be best is to allow us tonot display avatars. its that simple, until than its best to keep them decent looking.

HA. how does it look like porn? you cant see any boob at all its compleatly covered dont compare Art to Porn.. it makes me sick. 

i shall be re-uploading anway as il speak to ioi now. Pezuz looks like a porno not mine at all. i love how mine is 'sexual' and like 'porn' and Pezuz's is not? his is COMPLEATLY sexual. 

don't try and drive the last few users of this site away by annoying them. once again its out of your hands its to ioi now. 

Wtf, how is mine sexual and yours not? I personally don't think yours is too much either BUT that doesn't make mine too much. Don't try to turn this over on me. Your is even licking her finger and holding her boob...Mine just stands there looking hot.


LOL dont worry pezuz im not going agaisnt you here at ALL but i dont see why mine is such a huge deal when yours is not? think im just going to report the mod tbh. it cant be one rule for 1 and not the other.

There is no doubt that your avatar is more sexualised than his.

The only thing left to be discussed is whether or not his avatar is acceptable.

umm... his is showing compleat cleavage and she is wearing very seual laugeray 



Oh noes! This means I won't be able to use Liz Lemon as an avatar!



Signature goes here!

Pezus' avatar is much worse than playstaiongamers....his doesn't look like something out of a hardcore porno, pezus' does. Besides, if the rules haven't changed and pezus' avatar was against the rules a while ago then it should still be against the rules now. It's not rocket science
