That’s the specific rules for signatures: nothing about the actual content as such.

My assumption would be that same goes as per the rules for post content: but that's just a guess.

So a bare bottom, as an avatar, is OK then? :mrgreen:

The rules of WP continue the proud tradition of being clear as mud.

With all the stink made of this issue on the Mod attention thread of the Goldfish signature.It's safe to say at this point Alex is aware of this and has contacted his attorney's concerning such issues as civil liability.I think that at this point if such controversial signatures are still around it's safe to say there honkey dorry.

As far as any ethical concerns,if people want to advocate violence I would say that I'm sorry they feel that way but I'm not here to judge so do what you want.

In theory it appears yes...

But woe unto him who doth upload bum pics over the specified pixel dimensions: for their avatar will be cast out into the abyss, and verily a reminder shall appear, lettered in red shall it be; red for the shame of overburdening the WP server beyond thy allotted remit.

And remember to select one that doesn’t show any genitals/orifices.
I’m pretty sure that would breach the “no sexually explicit material” bit of the main rules.

I wonder if that applies to animals too. I mean, cats basically say hello by presenting their butts. Any picture of a cat has like 50% odds of there being an orifice on display, but it's hardly sexually explicit, and demanding cats wear clothes seems a bit much.

And what about people who have sexual fetishes for buildings of certain kinds?
I’m sure we wouldn’t want anyone to get off to this kind of gratuitous smut:

You misspelled "harassment".
