Could people please refrain from posting adult pictures in there avatars & signatures as I like to look at the site during my lunch break and my employer actively monitors what I browse at work & they have zero tolerance towards anything that might be considered slightly offensive to anyone.

Whilst some members of this site may find it funny to watch breasts bounce up and down, I do not want to had to face disciplinary action just because of someones childish postings.

As a temporary measure I have had to turn off the ability to view avatar and signatures, whilst this solves the problem I feel it is very sad that I have had to do this.

Not being funny but if you don't want to get disciplined then surely confining your internet usage at work to sites for a business purpose is the better way of avoiding getting into bother than bollocking people on here for posting something that could be contrued as rude as their avatar?

To twist your point, why should you skiving in work affect other users of the site?

Then go to a porn site....

I must agree with Rob here, Its not just work its at home as well. There can and will be kids and wives looking over your shoulder at any time and whilst I appreciate that we can turn them off I really could do without them...

I'm with Terry & Rob.

I don't like having to explain to the wife and/or kids why there is a picture of a naked pregenant woman on the computer screen.

Like most people I legally have to take half an hour for lunch, during which time I am allowed to browse the Internet for personal use, providing I do not financially profit from it.

Thats a tricky one Rob, i see where your coming from as well as Tom, it would be great if each user had the option to turn off the pictures on just there viewing, so you can view in safety, how ever i have no idea how this would be possible.

their's nothing here that can't be seen by a wife or a child,if porn sites would live of these images then there would be none, are you shuting your or their eyes when going near the sea, or watching tv ? If your boss ask for disciplinary, it will not be difficult to explain that between the start and end of your lunch time, turbominis is safe.

I can see both points of view.
As long as theres no nudity & only one complaint so far, I can't see a problem.

TM will never just be a techy site, it was started through a group of friends who like to have plenty of banter, women being part of it.

Alex has made it easy to turn the avatars etc off so its fairly simple thing to resolve.

Therefore it is your own choice to do so, and so if you are worried about it either don't view TM at work, or turn the avatars off, easy.

people showing things in their advitars is showing a bit of there personality or what they like, as you you you are showing your dog as for me i am showing a boost gauge on zero as im still building my mini.
i dont think people should have to stop using avitars of somthing they like. on this site their are people of all ages who view it, some like the advatars some dont, you have to rember that some people on here arnt all grown up yet.
im 19 and i still find it amusing to see boobs bounce up and down on somones advatar. as for the ones that i have seen on here are coverd up so i dont see why an employer or a wife ect should find it offencive or bad.

Thats my 2p's

I thi'nk the rude avatars are a tad unnecessary, but I don't know if I say that only because I'm a girl. However, I don't think it's right to jump on someone for having the courage to say something, on the other hand, you can switch them off easily enough.

Like I said last time, I might have to get some hairy swinging nuts for mine...

Most of the ones I have seen seem ok, and I am happy to browse in work. However, there is a line and it is easy to cross. There is one particular one I am think of (rubbing a massive pair of jugs) in the footer that gets a little close to the line for my liking.

Mind you I surf for smut all the time.

So why should I have to turn them off because of one or two? some are funny, some tell me a little about the guy/gal generally I liike em. I can only think of 2 that I dont think need to be there.

I'm not saying that we should be too restrictive here its just that avatars pop up all over the place and its hard to avoid them.

I wonder if this is a generation gap here, maybe us miserable old sods have seen enough boobs in one lifetime and just want to lust over car parts now??
