Illini, you seem very adamant about the avatar situation. I don't necessarily agree with avatars that are "too" untasteful either, but this is the second thread now. Only one American Idol thread allowed, but 2 of many others.....LOL

Also, I don't know who TheRx's techs are, but I questions their knowledge based on some statements I've seen. When this site was moved it was supposed to be an upgrade. We had all types of fancy, animated,avatars on the old site that wasn't much of a problem, so it shouldn't be here. We had a thread about this in the past and the many wanted the avatar sizes/byte size raised, but for some odd reason it is intentionally ignored. Remember the thread Shrink made asking our opinions on banning and I replied "Does it really matter what we think?".........

Illini, simple solution....turn off avatars while at work, turn them back on at home. Not a big deal. But yeah threads in offshore w/ titties n stuff have gotta go to RR quick. Would suck if someone really got fired because of that.

You all are right, problem solved, as my avatars have been turned off. Hache- there is a reason why I posted two threads. The first one was simply a request, after a long time of thinking that, and the 2nd was a complaint when I was very upset. The complaint came when I opened a college basketball thread, only to see a big, juicy pu$$y. I really like the avatars, and think they give someone an identity that is easy to remember. But I think at least 90% of us would say there is no need for nudity in an avatar. Like I said, it isn't even necessarily a work problem. I know that Blue Edwards is a devout Christian, and I'm sure he would not want pu$$ies popping up on his screen, when he is trying to answer a college basketball thread. If it's your wife's pu$$y, and you are offering it up on e-bay, then there would be a need. But you're not fukking the pu$$y that you're posting, so it doesn't make you any cooler. There's just no need, because like I said, porn is pretty simple to get, if that's what you're looking for.

Illini that avatar has been deleted as are most real raunchy ones that mods run into. Sometimes other posters report inappropriate avatars, other times when we (mods) see them we will ask the poster to change it or we will have to do it for them. I did not see this True Value avatar but it sounds like it would have been gone very quickly if a mod had seen it before you. Why posters choose porn or grossly disgusting avatars is anyone's guess. Most likely to attract atttention. I hope you continue to enjoy the Rx. feel free to contact me or any other mod if you have any other problems or questions.

Wil- thanks, buddy. I'm normally pretty easy to please, and don't anticipate too many problems here.

Sentence one in bold above Illini, I do understand, I was kind of joking when comparing the 2 threads to the lone American Idol thread. I too have been looking at something at work only to have the wrong thing pop up in the most unusual places. As for the other lines in bold above, lol, that's some funny stuff man!

Illini,
you say one guy is a devout christian and wouldnt want to see nudity, then what the hell is he doing on a gambling site placing bets. What does he belong to a pick and choose whats bad religion. And please dont tell me that its okay to gamble as a devout christian, but you cant look at nudity because i will say your full of crap.
Some of you guys are such babies and just look for reasons to complain.
If seeing a liitle bit of nudity is gonna get you in trouble at work, then maybe you shouldnt be surfing gambling sites while your at work, cause am sure your bosses really wouldnt want you concerned with gambling stuff while your at work.
I just get a big kick out of the guys who think gambling is so pure, but nudity is like the devil, cracks me right up.

CD329 - I hardly believe your 34 posts qualify you to make a statment like that on here. The nudity pics have got to go. If you want to look at that garbage go to a porn site. This is a gambling site, not a porn one!! I too think it is garbage to be scrolling down a thread while at work and have a naked chick pop up all the sudden. I have turned pics off a long time ago but shouldn't have had to. This is a gambling forum and should not be used to display offensive pictures.

I, myself, am not a devout Christian, although I wrestle with it constantly. I don't look at betting any differently than any other investment. The Bible doesn't say anything about gambling, as much as you may think it does. And any investment involves risk. You can say I'm full of crap, but you have no idea what you're talking about, so I don't care what you think.

Hey Viking, didnt know you had to have a certain number of posts before i could state my opinion. I guess i need 6oo posts like you before i can say something.
Also maybe you should concentrate on your job while your at work, instead of surfing gambling sites. Lmfaoooooo i little tiny picture of a naked girl hardly qualifys as making this site into a porn site. get real
