It's a very nicely drawn picture.

I think the suggestiveness of it and the backside would be what gets people into trouble, though.

some people seem to have forgotten that this board is a dictatorship, not a democracy, or even a monarchy.

Drysart is boss because he OWN THS COUNTRY,not because we chose him to represent him or god chose him to lead us. He made a country and said "this land is mine" and people settled anyway. He chooses the rules of the land, enforces them, and changes them as he sees fit. If he "breaks the rules" it's his own choice, and the peasants have no say in the matter.

Technically, Drys can do what the hell he wants.

However, good admins generally strive to be as fair as possible and adhere to their own rules. And Drysart is one damn good admin.

Personally, I would have no problem if the tag that disables sigpics disables that as well. But my work is ultra-strict about that. I think it's fantastic art, but I've had to really tread carefully with it.

However, I don't want to criticise Taran or any of them about it; I know it's just that my work in particular is uber sensitive. If I worked anywhere else, I wouldn't have been able to see a problem with the pic.

For me, it wouldn't work if it disabled that as well as sig pics because I don't disable sig pics.

Sometimes they're the only way I can identify someone given how names change so often around here.

I don't have your sig pic on everything I do on the boards, from checking my profile, to starting a new thread, to replying.

So I can either scroll quickly past a questionable sig, or avoid reading a thread that contains a sig that I already know will be questionable.

Plus your sig isn't the size of the board pic. Unless they're breathing down my neck, I doubt they would be able to tell what it has.

The board pic, on the other hand, is very obvious.

Soo.. if you can scroll past "questionable" sigs all the time, why can't you just take a couple of quick clicks and scroll past the banner?

Good percent of the time you can pass it before it even finishes loading. (depending on the speed of your connection and the board's...)

It happens on every page, Aanile. It's annoying to have to click past something that is not work safe and really shouldn't be up there anyway, but past that there's the chance it could be seen before I even get a chance to click.

well, the simple solution is to get an application that blocks banner ads, and define the board pic as a banner ad, then it's blocked. The upside is you can also define questionable sigpics/picsigs as banner ads and have them blocked.

maybe he's lazy?
maybe he considers it safe for work?
maybe he is deciding on changing posicy?

It's not my place to dictate what the owner of the boards should do.

He implemented the sig disabling because of the problem of people having non-work safe sig pics. He did that because there were people that the pictures were going to affect negatively.

As Za said, he's a good admin. ANd responsible. So it's reasonable to assume he's willing to listen to his patrons and act for the best for everyone.

Django, the boss from SquareSoft's fighting game Ehrgeiz.

Kinda like Red XIII, he looks like a mix between a wolf and a lion/mountain lion. In fact, you can unlock a different coloration for him, that turns him into Red XIII.

I figured it made a good picture for a Beastlord's Warder.

You probably missed the thread where we went over this before. Some of us can view chat boards at work because we work in things like customer service and tech support where we sometimes wait hours for a single call to come in.

While I'm inclined to agree, it might be because that one, as "interesting" as she may be, is just standing there alone. She doesn't have anyone to interact with, nor is there any suggestion that she's doing something more than you can see.

Personally, I like 'em both and have no problems with 'em. Then again, I only get to visit from my home computer.

Everything's covered in that one, plus it's rather hard to tell unless you're up close on it.

With the current picture, it's bright, very visible and there's a chick in a thong in it.

Plus more than one of us have already stated it would get us into trouble at work if someone saw it. I had hoped you would take our concerns into consideration.

Actually that shouldnt be his 'responsibility'. He does it as a favor to those who request it but by no means should anyone say he has a responsibility to keep them ultra work safe. No one forces anyone else to view the boards at work. *shrug* Anyways.. annoying to you as it may be to click/move the scrollbar down a lil bit, its not that big of a thing. I did it all the time at work. I used to sneak on at work but never have I EVER complained to someone about their site which I was viewing for language and/or pictures.

Their website is their house. I come as a guest and I shouldnt expect their house to be to my standards if I come over repeatedly. If I go somewhere, I know what to expect.

Anyhow, if Ukko is making a new pic due to the mother who is a board regular, that is fine.. as for work safe.. That is everyone's option whether or not to come here. But just dont expect things to always be to your standards.
