SpectatorRacing | Inappropriate avatars | ||
Elite Guru
|
I would like to request that people please not use inappropriate avatars on the Guru. I love a shot of a hot blonde as much as the next guy, but I don't need to see it on a Corvette site.
I browse at work and at other people's homes when I'm on vacation, and don't think it makes sense that I need to skip certain people's posts to be sure I don't get caught with jiggling boobs on screen by human resources, or worse yet, my mom. I'm sure some of our female members would appreciate it as well. Please people, use pictures of your cars, your kids, your house, whatever. I'll go to a pay site if I want to see large breasts. Thanks in advance... |

You do bring up a good point.
What I have found is that avatars are very trendy... Once the trend runs its course, that's that. Perhaps it's time for this trend to run its course. |

I thought the straight picture avatars, like PeteK's and Jeff's were ok (no full nudity or anything), but when they start moving and boobs get bouncing it gets a little much I think. I don't mind and my wife couldn't care less but if the right person at work saw it they wouldn't be happy. Kids not good either.

John, in the meantime,
Click here: http://www.corvette-guru.com/modules/ ... ASC&topic_id=6674&forum=6 Problem solved! Basically there's 2 view settings on the top menu. "Flat" is what you're used to. "Compact" hides avatars. |

they all look good but my own opnion some people get up tight about it. its all good in the right company. nothing against a good looking or bad looking female body. man ive seen plenty over the years of going to sturgis sd. it has to be in the right sitution. lord knows i love the female anotomy but this is not the place. we are here for the love of corvettes. with one of these you can score any where. jmo!
ps jeffvette what a set of kahonas. are how ever you spell it. :binky: |

In general, I don't mind the chick avatars or Hot Chick Friday.
However, if I were looking to join the site, and just saw all of these chick avatars, it would be a turn off. It really makes me think "man, just grow up." It really shines of immaturity, and I would have a hard time taking people seriously. My vote for avatars is for those that are work office PG. This should be safe for anyone viewing at work, wives (if they're that sensitive), and kids. |

My vote is to make it mandatory to have partially naked "beautiful" woman in your avatar..... perhaps have hourly awards, daily contests, Monthly walls of fame.....
My vote for Avatar of the month early on was Jeffvette, but in an incredible darkhorse last second comeback, Brian Cunningham nips him for the Win !! Now that Brian is the King of the Hill, the only question is who can knock him off the hill ? Shall be an exciting month. |

Thanks CC, this does solve any problems. At work I can use compact, at home when the kids are here I can click the stop button. And when it is just me I can enjoy the avatars. COOL! Maybe this should be detaled more on the new members sign in screen. Or maybe it is and I missed it when I signed up, but this works perfect! PS: My vote for the best avatar was Pete's back just before Christmas. Jeff's back then was right there too. |

Avatars are supposed to represent something about you. The fact that a bunch of guys like boobs and ass, hello? That's a given. Be more creative. I love the avs of movie scenes, family, pets, their cars, sports, quotes, etc; those are much more interesting and say something about the owner of the avatar.

I like TNA. Everything else is secondary. In my avatar, there's actually some TNA at the finish line and I'm racing to get to it. The actual racing part itself is boooooring.
