Well, I had to scroll and read real fast posts from those with racier avvies in the library to avoid embarrassment but otherwise I don't think much of it.
At home, I had to make sure I lock my room up to prevent my Mom (conservative, she is) from looking over my shoulder, giving me a knowing look, and walking off with that mysterious smile of hers.
Or any visiting relatives with small kids asking me "Youngest aunt, why is that man naked like that?"  *cough* I had to bribe the kid with chocolate to not tell her Mom.
But I say I'd stick with my neutral avvies for now... besides, I gotta admit, I do enjoy viewing them!

I dont' think the thread was against nakedness and I'm going to state my opinion which is like Rob's MINE, not to do with policy of this board, so people please don't freak. If not we'll have to make avies of you naked and really NO ONE wants that 
I have to admit that my feelings are mixed on the question of avies potraying nudity. Full frontal incidently, male or female will get you told but I'm assuming we all have sense enough not do this. I don't mind the avies potraying Hugo Weaving in the buff or even that avie with all the asses that I came upon that one occassion when I decided to take a look at the threads at work. I do however find the avies of th elves rather revolting because to me the homoerotic tones is more than apparent and these men do not look beautiful to me, they just look like they ought to be taking a stroll down Oxford Street. Anyhow. that's MY opinion.
The policy of this board however, is if we take offence with one, we take offence at all of it and we're not prepared to do that. All I can say to those who find the avies offensive, disturbing or whatever, this is an adult site. Young people who sneak in here aren't our problem, they shouldn't be here and how your children deal with what you have on the computer screen is in the purview of your parental responsibilities not ours. Those who glory in the nekkid, just try and keep it tasteful if possible.

I dunno, I'd give a buck or two to see Viv nekkid.

Is that like the equivelent of Santa Monica Blvd? I know you don't like pretty boys, and that's cool, we all have our taste in mins. I don't think Do's ever liked a single pic I've shown her for the Feanor thingy and she always picks the ones that look like they'd beat the crap out of me, LOL. (Hmm, maybe Do just wants me to get my butt kicked). Anyway, we all have different taste in guys, personally, if he's got a pulse then hey, it's all good.
What I'm wondering about is why anyone feels compelled to edit what they've said. You guys have just as much right to speak your opinion as anyone else and NB, my comment was only that my daughter does read that word now and has and its such a joyful time in their sweet little lives  . It's one thing to minimize every time she approaches and I'm on the forum, its another when I have to do it as I'm reading. Very annoying.

I don't know... is it where the gay men congregate for a night on the town?

 Yeah, that's exactly it.
Nah, I guess I'm with Scribe on this one. I like my manly men manly and to me, being an Elf doesn't equate having to be prettily girly and effeminate. Not saying all the elves avatars are, by the way, but to me, a lot of them recently have had those slashy undertones that make me go eew. It's not the nakedness (by the gods, no!), I guess it's more the pose. I don't know. That's just how most come across to me.
As Ghetto and others have said, it's all very personal our tastes in men and I know that and that's why up until now the admins had chosen not to say anything on the matter... and even now, this is not an admin post but a Do post - with personal opinions.
The only thing we'll come on the record and state as a site policy - and Scribe's done that above - is that given Open Scrolls is an adult site, we don't see any harm in adult content. This includes the NC-17 stories as well as some nudity in the graphics, be it pictures attached to a story or members' avatars. We would still ask for a measure of respect for your fellow members and refrain from using full frontal nudity, slash, BDSM and  kiddy porn. This is an extreme, but you know what I mean. Use common sense and if there's anything you're not sure about, check with us first.

Indeed. This editing of posts drives me up the wall. You say/write something, have the balls to stand by it. If you find that what you said was hurtful or erroneous or whatever, post again saying as much, don't go back and edit out what you'd previously said, which might have generated much comments to follow. It makes the whole thread ridiculous and meaningless. We've stop the 'delete' option and we've thought about stopping the 'edit' option too... the only reason it's still there is for editing spelling mistakes and the likes... but the Preview button could be enough in itself for people to correct their post before submitting them to the forum...

And why would that be? Nancy, just like anyone else, is entitled to bring something up that might concern her. Doesn't mean we'll all fall in line with her or anyone else's preferences, but she's allowed her opinions. And this attitude of making the avatars 'worse' on purpose just to get back at her for speaking her mind is something that is beyond childish, IMHO. Some people gave their two cents on the subject and all stayed civil. I don't know why you feel the need to rub it in.
do.

I'm getting a little uncomfortable around here what with all the pictures of nekkid folk that keep showing up in the avatar collumn! I have to shoo my almost 4-yr-old daughter away before I log on!  |
Not against the nakedness ... and certainly not often enough
Really, I think this discussion has gone far enough, now. Indeed I'm not at all sure how it got this far. Nobody's against the nakedness, we all know it's an adult site, we all take responsibilities for ourselves, and the men should participate more. Okay? Okay. T'salright? T'salright.

I will admit to being guilty of editing posts as I enter them, mainly because I type something and then re-read it and see that it could be taken the wrong way or somthing, or that I've spelled something wrong. But I agree, the preview thing would work just as well for that. It does get confusing when there's a discussion about something and previous posts are edited, especially if you come to that discussion late and then try to follow it.
My latest thing is for glittery avatars, since I've just learned how to make them. (Which is totally irrelevant, but I thought I'd mention )

Then why did you start the thread in the first place? You knew beforehand it is an adult site and that parents should be responsible for what the kids can see on the net.
And let's face it, I rather submit kids to virtual nekkidness than letting them watch ppl getting blown to pieces on TV.
