Like several Maaca members, I access Maaca from work; I do have breaks so that's legal and allowed. But, that also means every now and then, there's the possibility of my boss being in my office at a time when such an avatar is up.
I'm asking two questions, and I'd appreciate the membership be direct in their responses in this thread, whether pro or con, because I want to know, am I the only one that feels this way? Am I off my rocker? Because right now, I know for a fact some think since no one complains, then it’s a non-problem. So this thread is here to discuss it, so that everyone knows if it bothers others.
Question 1: Is it asking too much for members to curtail some of the adultish avatars? Whether I approve or not personally, we're talking about what is appropriate at work here.
Question 2: For any thread that has adult subject matter, can you all ensure you put a “NSFW” or something to that effect in the subject line. Usually, this is done, I’ve seen a few threads in the past with fair warning, so that’s cool, but some might not have considered it, thus my request.
With question 1, it’s impossible to predict and basically renders Maaca an adult only site, which if that’s the case, I will limit my searches from home.
I’m not asking for policy from the admins; I’m not trying to turn this into a G rated site. I love Maaca, I love the camaderie here and whether or not anyone changes their avatar won’t stop me from visiting this site, and if they are used, but it sure will be limiting it. I’m asking the membership if it’s possible that my own version of “common sense” is maybe in line with the rest or am I on my own? And if some of you agree, then perhaps the membership can consider my humble request.

100% support what was written. I don't mind a good picture now and then but I let my fingers do the search. I believe MAACA should remain neutral since we have a wide array of taste and expectations. Don't worry my friend you are not alone and I am glad you spoke up.
take care and I too had to hide a few things at work because it may have offended some people.
I work in a classroom, and often have to scroll quickly over various members posts (i.e. bouncing boobs, naked girls playing pinball) and I would be pretty upset if MAACA gets blocked at my work because of it
Most of the time MAACA is open at work, I will feel very bad with some avatar, that people can see. I hope also that my little daughter at home don't ask to much quetion about it.

As ken pointed out, it's a user option, just select it if you don't want to see them...avatars and signatures. It was the signatures that did it for me, a 1/4 screen signature is a bit much in my mind.

Considering that most members have acceptable ones...Its not so hard to ask that we just keep them all family/work safe.

I don't agree with censorship, there are plenty of options to censor things yourself. It's not like the avatars are X rated, if you don't like it, there are numerous means to do something about it yourself.
When I hear "I'm at work...", any argument\issue you have flies right out the window.
You are on break... surfing I suppose thats OK I don't know company policy... I am not sure my avatar would be considered PrOn, I get what you are saying in theory. There are options for turning it off though...I am sorry if my wife offends anyone, I have used her for many years on here and cgcc I am not changing now, sorry reality is I am offended by creepy frogs, priate flags, and space in general but I deal with it.
