say i surf the site from an dubai exibition centre public access points (which i did a month bak) i might even be put behind bars as every country has a diff. tolerence level to profanity & nudism.
so it'll be a tricky situation that's all i got to say.

So you were watching porn online from Dubai Exhibition center 
|
|
the arabs wud say that if they saw ur previous avtar 
|

well i know i pricking a volatile issue here but the are sum users (i wud refrain from naming) are using avtars which are literally 'not decent' for a public forum.
i know u will like get bak at me in this tread by sayin it's a freedom issue
but still i think the mods & the team have to think bout it (which in turns means more work for em'  )
so common u can shoot me now

I have to agree on this one...

I think its ok /should be ok , to use whatever the f you want to. If someone doesnt like it , its their problem. You chose that particular picture because you found something appealing in it. that picture defines YOU at the time you choose it. whats the point of having avatars if one cant have what they want as an avatar? that would amount to encroaching on ones freedom of expression. excess moderation in any kind of public forum is so passe'. there are already enough topics being locked - the last thing we want is to have our freedom to use all kinds of avatars being taken away. missing plug-in |

dude people have too many other things to worry about than block users of some random site for using pornographic material in their avatars unless ofcourse if another party gets busted and isratrance is on star newz again then that might be a problem.

well u jus gave 1 more reason urself 
1 more,
i neva worried if my mom on ne other family member was standing behind my bak while i was surfin ISRA but with many 'Vulgar' avtars i have to be a bit cautious (yes i know more then 95% of the ppl. here wud'nt have that problem but i do & hence i m pointing to this issue)
p.s. i m not trying to demand nething here but jus giving my point of view on this issue
peace

Im sorry, pls don't include the rest of the people in "we", and just speak from your side.Cuz for sure how you see freedom is different than other people's point of view.
For example for a murderer, killing is a part of his freedom. Is it the same for me? I don't think so.
As this is a public forum and not a porn related website, and Im sure all of you have enough access to porn sites and Im also sure that all of you have seen enough naked women in your life.
why you wanna bring it here as well, I really don't understant , call me retarded, but it's not pleasant at all to see some of these avatars, specially when you like to brows Isra webpages all day long from office to home to coffee shop.

Its absurd that your moms, uncles, colleagues and other random people in some damn coffee shop thought you were surfing porn because they happened to spot one small square pic of a semi naked woman on a 17 inch screen (?) while you were on an internet public forum!
Welcome to the Internet guys.. i don't believe we are actually discussing this! I think a3k's post said it all. There is a certain culture each forum has.. and the culture here is such that there are certain limitations if I my term it as that.. anyone on isra would know the kind of culture we follow here.. compared to other places. period. Chapter close.

try it urself my freind put 1000 pics to fit on ur 17 inch monitor with jus 1 small pic of porn i can bet more then 90% of ppl. will spot the porn pic first.
ohh yea all this freedom of expression talks sound very gud but we all are very hypocrite bout it have'nt u all been an relationship y da hell do we get possesive then though we relise it later but at that moment we fail to recognise our double standards.
neways i dont intend to start a full offtopic debate here
so yea i jus raised a question for the mods to decide & it's upto em'
i m out of this deabate
peace out

i agree with you exotic.
excess moderation i believe is not a good thing.
where do you draw the line on what's exceptable and not, and who decides it?
i guess the isranazi's do
Some of them remind me of the soupnazi in seinfeld.
