I should have added that a significant number of my bosses are leading lights in the local happy-clappy church... but I'll only comment on that
off-forum!

Quite so, Blake, quite so .....
But yet again, and I will repeat ......
the point of this thread is accessibility, for all, away from work/educational 'filters' ....
and of course swmbo/kid safe at home .....
not individuals preferences .....
Oh and nearly forgot.... piggy pr0n troll safe too... (that will only mean something to those who have been members of this site for quite a while
...and no, I am not going to explain....)

Aha! I see that free speech is frowned upon on here then. What a shame! I have been hassled by the Avatar Police even though plenty of others on this
thread are doing the same as me but are allowed there slightly oversized pic. I can only assume that my attempt at a reasoned and considered argument
has fallen foul of the admin here.
It's not like a burning rally car (a picture I took myself) is explicit sexism now is it? Or is it? I did not realise when I first found and
perused this site that is was run by a few for a few but it's becoming clear to me now.
Personally I like to share my skill set and facilities with others and enjoy some humour in the process. I am not racist, sexist or any thing else for
that matter, but like many I think the PC thing is totally OTT in this country.
Any way I'll sort my offensive avatar while many others are left oversize and consider I've learnt my lesson.

Dear oh dear ^ ^ ^ avatars are NOT 'free speech' .... read the help pages which have been there since the site began .... it states
......Avatars....150 pixels wide ...
As was said earlier in this thread if Flaks avatar was smaller as in the sites recommendations, it wouldn't have been so obvious and more than
likely would NOT have caused a problem .......
It would be nice if newbies like yourself, who only registered on this site 17 days ago.....familiarised yourself with the guidelines of which
compared to the majority of other sites are very few, before you start to hit the keyboard moaning.......
Your avatar was too big, nowt to do with content
Research the facts before hitting the keyboard!
When you registered with this site, you listened to T&C's, by proceeding with your registration, you agreed to them ......

Guys
This is exactly the arguement I wrote about yesterday, then lost my post. Seems as admins we're damned if we do and damned if we
don't.
However, the rules do state a maximum of 150x150px avatars, and we will be enforcing that again as of last night.

These are exactly the kind of idiotic responses that cause me to make the statement above. Did you even read the warning? I'm guessing not,
because it clearly gives you 24 hours to fix the problem yourself before the system automatically deleted it. It doesn't take a genius to
figure out that maybe those with bigger avatars have either:
1. Not logged on yet and seen the message
2. Not dealt with the problem yet, but are still in their 24 hour period
3. Are too lazy/don't know how to deal with it and are just waiting for the system to delete their avatar for them
Now, please go and read the announcement made 8 months ago, and the update last night. These are the rules (and have nothing to do with
'free speech' as you put it) so please either put up or shut up, as Fozzie and are are fed up with people whining on about it.
Cheers, Chris
