people on here who could lose their job or get written up over a tiny picture of a half naked person shouldn't be on here during business hours!

I really like visiting E60.net. I just don't want a sexual harassment complaint or lawsuit because I did. This is a car board.

Sorry if I can't agree with that one. Employees of my firm can surf within reason but are not permitted to view sexually explicit or overly suggestive materials. Bottom line is that the options here are not as black or white as your post indicates that they must be.

The problem I have with this post is simply that there is nothing on this site/forum that would trigger a flag in a firewall or content filter. This is by definition not a porn site and therefore does not trigger flags. If someone was looking over your shoulder is a different issue, and one of the advantages of being the IT guy. Either way, I can agree with Lomag that explicit avatars can be detrimental to forum members at their workplace, but not with those members that find certain avatars offensive, grow up (and even I thought naughty granny was nasty)

so members shouldn't make it look like one or treat it like one

In any event, this is a non-issue because Lomag has set down some reasonable guidelines for what should not be posted.

True, but there also weren't any fully explicit avatars that I have seen. So, therefore, not porn.
