Yes the thread where we post our suggestions on the rules for avatars and signatures. I thought who better to start it then someone who lost his avatar at one point.

The best overall rule I can think of: keep it PG, like the rest of the board.

why did you get your avatar taken away in the first place...It was the picture of that chick right...That was PG....I guess. The movie Annie Hall talked about S-X and stuff like that. THAT was PG...hurm...

NOTHING political, religious, or otherwise offensive. Real simple.
I don't think religion has a place on the forums, it's too easy to make someone mad.
Don't get me wrong I am a christian and would love to talk about my faith but I don't think we should discuss it here.

Relign, talk about whatever you feel is right, though you need not share oppinions about others.

No Linux Chicks?!

Seriously though we know the board needs to stay PG as Ben asked. When I saw the title of the thread I though it was more about whats the purpose of "your" avatar and/or signature.

Ben kind of hinted at a dislike of religious discussions. Not as much as he did politics, but I don't think he's keen on controversy pulling the board apart.

I thought as long as your not "bashing" other relign's then it should be ok... but w/e i understand where hes comeing from.

Except it's not simple. Not at all. As we just saw, most people aren't offended by mildly religious avatars and sigs, so saying nothing offending is impossible, since people are offended by different things.
I have more to add, but I need to go, I'll continue my thoughts later.

I personally don't see anything wrong with the linux chicks, they aren't posing in any sexually suggestive way and their attire is not suggestive either, but if you don't want them here, then I'll keep them away from here, as long as I can have my Gravestone!

Jack, your Sub Zero avatar is very kewl, have that up which you had when I first joined
