C'mon guys!

It's a new year so I went and cleared my ignore list. Some people were on it for being rude or just simply dumb but most people were there because they had obscene or "not workplace appropriate" avatars or pictures attached to their posts. It's embarassing when someone comes into my office and I appear to be scrolling down a porn site while viewing posts. Anyone who knows me or has seen my own pictures knows I'm not some puritan trying to force my morality on other people, but c'mon guys, this is a sports board; please be reasonable.

poydras i went through this a few years back as a mod here and thought it outlined. but i have been gone for over a year so i am not updated as to what the guide lines are now. i agree with u. i had my job block the site a after it was seen by fellow employees back then. which was silly because it was a sports site.

I know i will get the "Let Freedom Ring" speech from members but it would be nice to a certain level of understanding on this topic and accept the fact that pushing this issue so close to limits only hurts a group of people here from being on at work and other places.

i understand your point of view. I view this site like a family. i have missed it while i was gone

Last year my 10 year old daughter walked up, looked over my shoulder, and said "Daddy, who's that girl?" ... what girl? I don't see any girl..."You think mommy knows who she is?"

That is honestly hilarious.

LOL, well as a female board member, I have to say that "some" of the pictures are offensive to me.....I just try to ignore, and absorb what the thread I'm reading is all about. I dunno....just for me, glad my half-nude pic is not being displayed for all to see.....seems "just a tad" disrespectful, but that is JMO!

With that said, let the season begin!!!!!!!

To everyone:

We're moving to a new format for avatars and trying to fix this issue. In the mean time, please see this thread in the Support forum on how to block avatars, signatures and/or images while at work.

Link here

We plan on having an avatar/image policy in place before the season starts.

Thanks,

Halo
