Have you seen the 'ads' that show up on your web page if you use rogers (yahoo) webmail. They had a picture up there on Monday (of I think Beyonce) wearing an outfit that was way more inappropriate to be seen at an office than seeing a few 'bouncing boobies'. I guess I should dispatch an email to Rogers to stop allowing their 'In the Spotlight' section to have such pics. Oh wait, I can turn that off. Guess I don't have to send an email after all. Forget all that I said. Go back to regular forum browsing.
p.s. I wish there was a sarcasm font or colour or something. Just putting a happy face at the end just doesn't seem to be enough.
Well if Rogers is doing it.........it must be ok! After all they would sell their own mothers to make a $$$. It is only a few bouncing boobies
There are many ways to block the avatars, plus if you are at work and looking on macaa... isn't that your problem?
I find this answer so frustrating. I imagine I have no right to search the net during my UNPAID lunch time? It's on my time, the resources to the network are negligeable and I put in about 5 hours minimum of my own time every friggin week and don't charge OT. I don't have a problem with the answer that's come up such as "disable Avatars", it's not ideal (see thread for example) but it works so that's fine.
But since you yahoo's are so gung up on work, let's say I access this site from my sisters because there's a pin that interests her and her 10 year old daughter is sitting next to her. Does that make a damn difference to your answer? I guess not, because it is still my problem...
If people want to debate, that's cool; but why don't you try debating the ISSUE and not make a new one up. An appropriate response from you splitskull could have been "the option is there for such case, I suggest you use it" and that's perfectly fine and on the point and that's that.
I figure I have to throw my 0.02 in as the minority (female that is ) I lived thru the centrallica avatars of 5 years ago and never found them offensive. In fact I countered with my own of the male version. However I agree wholeheartedly with Loafer. I think remembering that alot of us surf on laptops now with young kids in visual range should at least be thought of before choosing avatars. I will admit to shutting the lid quickly on the laptop when my young son is sitting beside me but to be honest as both a mom and female collector, I don't really mind bouncing boobies, no matter whose wife they are . But I do find naked females on pinballs in poor taste. Go to a Porno site if you want to see that. Put them into bikinis at least. And before somebody posts a dildo or penis to make a point- they fall in the same category. Show some respect and common decency for all members.
To me, your avatar choice, partly defines you and shows what kind of person you are. Now the banana gang on the other hand......I don't think ANYBODY wants to go there! !
Bottom line is, we are all adults and a lot of us are friends, and I would hope that we would treat each other the way, we would like to be treated.
It's been a long day at work, even longer as I'm here for another 2 hours. Sorry if I'm getting a little worked up. I certainly appreciate all the comments pros or cons. My original thinking was to see if it's an issue with some because silence was deemed acceptance, and the reality is this isn't always the case.
