A polite request about nudity in avatars

**Ms Piggy** · 24th November 2004, 07:00

Hello Family,
I find I often have to PM fellow KBers about their nudie avatars. And so I thought I'd just do a blanket post.

I often check out KB's at work (believe me nothing else to do sometimes) I work for a Govt Dept and they monitor what we look at. Anywaaaaaaay, my request is:

Could those of you who have avatars with naked women, wobbling, shaking or doing whatever else you can manipulate them to do, please edit them to indicate they contain nudity. It is a very simple process of going into your avatar settings and clicking on the option 'contains nudity'.

Everyone can still see your avatar, except for people like me who have their personal settings not to show nude avatars.

Cheers in advance, Cathy

How many are there, buggar all I thought?

There's the airbags avatar that's come up a bit lately.

Good point Celtic_Sea_lily, don't want to get done at work if someone catches a peak at some form of nudity while viewing the KB site.

Look up. See the picture next to Quasievil's Name? That's an avatar. A image or icon projected into another environment that represents you.

For example Celtic Sea Lily has an avatar of a tennis ball riding a harley, and Quasievil has a family snap for his.

Did you type something??? sorry was too busy looking at your avatar

**StoneChucker** · 24th November 2004, 11:04

OK, I don't have to worry, since I have fairings on my bike. But what about all the people who don't? There's heaps of people with naked bikes, must they ALL go change their avatars? I think this is just a hidden agenda against naked bikes, but you must realise, we can't all have pretty fairings, like me

This voluntary censorship doesn't work guys unless you indicate that your avatars and attachments contain rude bits by clicking the nudy option.
