This true, but I don't really think the solution is that people who want their browsing to be SFW have to block avatars and signatures. It is a current workaround, but I think the actual issue lies with what people put in their sigs/avys/posts.

Once again, I don't care about the Not really safe for work content personally, but I do care what others think when they see me browsing the website @_@ but at the same time I don't want to block all sigs and avys.

So you didn't have breaks? I think that's against at least one law. I know it is in Norway anyway.

What does SFW mean?

I don't think any website is SFW. You can get in trouble looking at any website at my manufacturing plant and they have the entire internet blocked besides their intranet.

Safe for work.

Why isn't turning off avatars and sigs enough? Is it because when you do. You want it on, at home. And don't want to keep switching the settings. Would it be possible to make that setting be browser/location specific?

Is a forum about videogames and anime ever SFW? I mean I have a new job now and I know that I will definitely not let my coworkers and superiors see that I'm using a site called vgchartz.

It may not be a solution but I don't see the problem implementing these options either. But I get your point yeah.

OT: I like to add that this site can never be SFW anyway since its is a video game forum after all. So even though avatar and sigs become sfw, casual gaming pictures or references posted may seem too nerdy for our casual peers anyway But at least having less lewd pictures or sigs - anime/cartoon/etc - will help the forum look more business casual.

For starters, you can't turn off avatars. Secondly, it shouldn't really be the responsibility of those that want a SFW site to adapt to those who don't know/care about the rules about NSFW content on this site. Thirdly, that still leaves the problem of NSFW content in posts.

If people don't want this site to be SFW, fine, but that's something that will have to be discussed, but as of now, that's what the rules are, however little they are enforced.

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
