reporting someone's avatar

[DanielleD87]

I don't know the rules when it comes to avatars, but some (who I do not know) has an avatar I personally think is offensive. It is an animation of someone shooting them self in the head.

I have not PMed this person or talked to them at all on the forum. I don't want to be rude, and honestly I feel like a jerk bringing this up.

Is there a protocol to deal with this issue? For all I know I might be the only one who is offended by this persons avatar and I'm in the wrong bringing this up. If so I apologize.

I'm not going to post his profile here, but if a moderator reads this and wants to look into it then PM me and I will give you a link.

I guess suicide videos have always bothered me, real or not. I apologize if this post is uncalled for.


Thank you,
Danielle

I find your pink bunny offensive but will get over it . I do understand how you might feel about suicide issues tho so why not just put the member on ignore . I just thought , if using Firefox and adblock you can right click , block image .

i don't know what is considered offensive.

if it isn't then just delete this thread and I'll avoid his avatar.

If using IE with IE7Pro plugin you can do the same. Except its called "Filter This Image."



Also, who is it? Just post a link here, ffs.

i don't know this person so i feel really bad posting this: https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/members/rayman147-188416

Meh. I wouldn't ever has this as my avatar, but I thought it was going to be worse.

Wait for Rossco, RealitY or maybe some mods' opinions.


If I were you I'd just submit a report and say "hey it's offensive and in the board rules it says, 'Signatures and avatars will be restricted in size and content, and must not be offensive in nature' and I'm offended so..."

i just feel bad reporting something that might only be offensive to me is all.

sorry to bother all of you with this btw

[Hairbautt]

Well, you've done made a thread 'bout it so might as well go the whole nine yards.

I think the avatar in question is kinda neat.

I really hope that you use one of the methods above to block the image if you feel that it is somehow offensive to yourself. I also really hope this wasn't an attempt to try and censer what others here can see, that's just not right.
