And yes, the majority of the off-topic post ***** crew could care less about automotive discussion. A large portion of them don't even own Z's.

Was this because I was the first PM member with the DNF logo in my avatar to voice his opinion?
Voicing an opinion is a debateful manner is not the same as whining or reporting someone.

I LOVE how people turn their own whining and bitching about rated-PG avatars and being called on it, into "I'm rubber, you're glue". I could care less about my own avatar, but it's the principal of people being overly sensitive, complaining, and getting their way that ticks me off. People like you are a BIG problem with this country today.
I bet you'd try to sue my350z if you got fired for web browsing at work, too...

I do help when someone asks a reasonable question but that rarely happens considering the many questions that are repeated.
You're the nicest person on the board
BTW, I have no complaint about the avatars. In reality, I don't think its my350z's responsibly for the risks you take at work. Most companies consider anything and everything that's not work-related to be against the rules regardless.

Relax buddy. You're digging yourself a bigger hole and your argument is deteriorating exponentially with every mindless self-centered post you make.

If you knew anything about cars or were remotely interested in coming to thse forums to discuss automotive topics, you might know that cars are typically a male dominated past time. Go to any meet, any show, any shop, any magazine section, and you'll see nothing but fast cars and scantily clad models on every peice of media you see.
You seem to forget that this is a CAR FORUM, not an OT playground. It's part of the culture. If you want to have a forum to talk about playing xbox video games then perhaps you should make your own with all the other pimple faced goons that have no interest in fast cars and hot women.
In case you haven't bothered to actually view the rules:
What you deem to be PG-rated, and what is actually PG-rated are two totally different things. I can understand nudity, but a picture of a girl in what amounts to a bra or bikini does NOT amount to NSFW.
You're trying to force your own bosses' discretions upon everyone else here in the forum.
My avatar was PG. It had no nudity, no sexual inuendo, and no "non-PG" related content. I could care less that you dislike it based on your job, but it was within guidelines of the TOU.

I know as much about cars than just about anyone on the forum. I have said some stupid stuff in my time, as have you. Don't act like you have more of a right to this forum because you talk more about the 350Z than I do. I like the OT, because I get bored at work. That doesn't make you better than me. Hey, I've never been banned. Does that make me a better forum member than you?
I had never complained about the NSFW avatars. (Of which there are a few...) but it has concerned me. ***** are NSFW. I stay out of the ***** thread, because even bikini-clad ***** are nsfw. Some chicks a$$ in a thong os NSFW. If my boss saw it, he would either be offended or fap, neither of which is good for me.
My $30 is as good as your $30. Just because your office is more lax and you can have pictures of scantily clad boobies does not mean you have the right to deny features of the forums to those of us whose offices are more uptight. It doesn't make a difference to you if your avatar is SFW... You could apparently go to the ***** thread at work and get your fill. But it does make a difference to me if your avatar is NSFW, because I would then either
a) Have to live with it, and run the risk of my boss seeing teh boobies
or
b) Have to turn off all avatars.
So youre saying that I should be punished for being in an office that is more uptight, even though it doesn't make any difference to you if your avatar is SFW.
BTW, thank you for changing your avatar. I dont even know what it was before, but your current one is SFW.
As to text being NSFW, most people arent going to turn thier heads at text, but a picture of boobies grabs thier attention.

Us turning our avatars off does not make your avatar SFW.

So you basically lurk in the OT but won't post there for fear of losing some of your lame FI "street cred"?

Looks like I kicked the pile of horse crap and the flies are swarming out. This thread is going OT quick.
