I think we should regulate the images users are allowed to have as their avatar. I frequently browse this board at work but I am frustrated by the pornographic avatars some of the users are using. How can we require work warnings on threads, but allow pornographic avatars? Its quite frustrating to have one show up on your work computer because some adolescent teen thinks its cool to have some lady rubbing her boobs, or a vagina used as homer simpsons mouth (just two that are sticking out in my mind).

This is a car enthusist site, not a porn site....this should not be an issue.

I agree. Some people get a little out of line with it, most keep it tasteful. I don't think bathing suits are that bad.

haven't really seen it that much, but I agree. It shouldn't be allowed

Im all for this...Its a car site not a Date line or Porn site.....! Its kinda odd when someone older walks up and sees all this nudity on the screen and youre trying to explain that its a car site..lol

Try to PM them. I remember I had one that said "Fuck you" and Justa EX PMed me and I changed it no problem. But the ones with the shitty avatars are idiots, so they probably won't change it.

Does this one need to be changed or what?

There is an option to disable Avatars and Signatures and Images via your USER CP. I recommend this to all people who browse at work.

Thank you for the tip Sung!

Steps to turn off Avatars:

1. User CP
2. Under: Settings & Options, click: Edit options
3. Uncheck: Show Avatars
4. Save

I left signatures, and images on.

See rule 9. PM an admin or mod if you find someone with a problem image. Or you can turn them off as sung suggested if you don't want to risk it.
