Is it just me or some of the Avatars are just not appropriate.

I do open this site at work but I always have to watch over my shoulder and lately I have to do the same when at home with kids around. Do we really need people to have these kind of Avatars. Can we keep this some what family safe. Or wait, are there any rules or check on what kind of avatar I can use or I can just use any what I want. Should there be any check?
I know they all have great butts and fabulous bodies but....

I will give you some examples here. Although I'm definitely NOT picking on anybody personally, but I did find most these avatar examples from this site.

OK, here, I have said it and now let the flaming begin....

First you shouldnt be on this site at work in the first place.
Second this is a forum, people are free to express themselves in words or images.
It is up to the mods to choose what is appropriate. And basically the rule of thumb is no nudity.

I hear ya. Personally, I like those sexy little avatars, but if anyone else is around, you just don't want them there. My wife walked by the other day and asked if I was on a porn forum as there was some chick in a low-angle shot with boob cleavage squirming around (looking mighty hot if you ask me). I explained it's a BMW forum but that's what somebody thinks is appropriate for their avatar or sig, and no of course I don't think that's sexy

some of the people on this forum are deployed, and every computer they use is a government computer and they are ALWAYS at work... i say we exclude deployed military/government civilians from using this forum
