I do get your point gingerwizard, dont get me wrong...
Still, many women may not like seeing sexist avatars that abound here, other groups may dislike certain other avatars... so where do you draw the line? There will always be some people that are offended by certain images...
Should there be a thought police/censorship panel to decide what is fine and what is not?
If you allow avatar freedom, i wouldnt like for that freedom to be censored. If you dont, and ask users to select from preaproved FTR avatars, well, that's not my opinion of a good avatar policy, but at least all get the same.
I just dont like being abused because of my avatar, like i've been in the past (even through PMs) by people that have no idea about anything and just ASSUME the worst.
I could complain about certain avatars that i may dislike, but instead, i choose to ignore them and discuss mainly poker with the users that have them. If this were a political forum, i'd EXPECT such a controversy, but precisely because it isnt, i think it's uncool.
