If MONKEY can have a nude avatar, why can't nude pictures be posted on the forum? Rules should be consistent.

If you want to post Monkey's avatar somewhere else on the forum then I can assure you it will be allowed. If you have something you consider to be art that you would like posted to the Art forum I would recommend that you run it past a moderator first and it may be allowed as well.

Nude pictures are nude pictures, it seems silly to make exceptions.

There is no rule against nude pictures. The rule prohibits:

Quote:

Posting graphic images or videos

The purpose of this rule is to maintain a family friendly site.

Ahaa. But if I were to post some porn on the forums, the mods would surely take it down. So again, why is some nudity allowed while other nudity isn't?

Also, how is a nude avatar "family friendly"?

I'm not sure, but in case it truly is an executive functioning problem I am doing my best to explain the difference, but if I can't do so adequately I will have to stop trying soon.

Just saw the edit. I personally disagree - nudity is nudity as far as an inappropriate image is concerned, surely? Especially if you want the forum to be family friendly - but hey, the mods' decision at the end of the day.

You're clearly implying that if I don't agree with your opinion, I must have executive functioning issues... The f**k, man?

Thank you Lee

You are welcome. Things would be a little better here now if I had no been so grossly misunderstood, mis-judged as a zealot and de-modded, but the bottom line is still the same ...

@Asp-Z: You are completely correct, across the board: nudity is nudity.

No, not at all. Again I apologize if that is how it came across. The comment also wasn't aimed at you directly. I have AS, you have AS, most of us have AS, and with AS comes a desire to see things in black and white and this isn't a black and white issue. I only meant that it can be difficult to work around that - it certainly can be for me at time.

Alright, I'll trust you weren't trying to be offensive.

Exactly. So are avatars an exception or what?

Incorrect. Nudity is nudity.

Nope.

So why are "art" ones with nudity allowed?
