Please note, I am not speaking for ECGN here, I am speaking for myself and for a few others who are quite offended and hurt.

I am posting in here as well as the BF 1942 room.

I am personally offended as well as some others I have spoken to that to be blunt, are very hurt by some pictures they have seen as of late on avatars.

Please think "outside the box" before posting a potentially rude avatar

I make no apologies for Mr. Burns. Get over it.

Which avatars are you talking about?

by **Camel toe joe** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 3:23 pm

I have to agree with buli

by **Folic_Acid** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 3:35 pm

Buli - I also agree.

Here too..

Think about those pics before you post. If I remember right, think about 'what if that was a relation of yours'. Would it be funny?? Same goes for TS and in-game messages. There's ways to be funny/communicate without offending people.

Although, things have changed greatly the last couple of decades. Remeber George Carlin's TV bad words?? Seems things have changed on TV since then.

which avatars are you referring to? Dont mention specific names of people, but just give us a general idea of what the avatars consist of.

I sure hope its not my pimp walking avatar dude:D

Simpsons got away with son of a bitch. NYPD Blue got away with using bitch as well I think.

And if I remember correctly Chicago Hope, got away with "shit happens" a couple of years ago.

Perhaps I really do need help... NAH!!!

Somebody needs to post that sequence from Howard Stern's "Private Parts" when they're on air talking about what you can and can't say... that is some seriously funny shit...

Bah, they're just avatars. I personally could care less, but that's just me.

Ditto. Jeffro's avatar was stupid, but not offensive for me.

As for it being removed without his consent, that's much worse. Censorship is bad, period.
