Default Avatars... worksafe...
With my company's recent move to a new 54 million dollar office building they're a little more intune w/ what their employees are doing online.

I've noticed alot of overly sexual avatars w/ mostly nude women, women kissing, sexual stuff etc.

While I'm all in favor of hot girl/girl action... it makes reading a work safe thread difficult.

Would there be a way to enable a "work safe" mode where I can turn off all avatars?

Thanks.

There was a time when avatars were supposed to be work friendly. In all honesty, I thought that was the case still.

That is correct.

If you find a blatent violation of that rule (i.e. a girl in a bikini is probably ok, bouncing breasts in a bikini is probably not) report any post that user made with the note that their avatar is the problem and not the post you're reporting.

The only one I've noticed lately is Black Jeff's, but I think he took care of it.

I reported it, but figured I'd bump this thread to remind people:
