It's discouraging potential activity and if you don't see that then I don't know what to tell you. RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

It'd be discouraging potential activity if the only solution was to force people away from such avatars and we ignored it.
But with other solutions, it's completely up to you then to shrink your own activity. TBH, I'd use work as time of this site, why does it have to be a part of your life everywhere?

So you are saying that you think people would quit a HOCKEY SIM LEAGUE because they're not allowed to have tits and half naked women in their avatars? If that is so, that is a sacrifice that I am willing to make to make this board a far more mature place. Something that has been lacking of late. RIP Dangel.

I am just trying to point out that it is a problem, and other people have attested to that in the thread. If you guys want to blow it off like it's nothing so be it. RIP Dangel.

So THAT's what we've been missing all these years. Good god. You're doing a one-man stand here, sadly that means your arguments won't be heard. At least not in something as basic as not seeing people's avatars.

When I go on this website at school I have to quickly scroll past those posts or scim through the post because I may risk getting in trouble" - Splat "I agree. Im actually paranoid at school when im board i dont want one of my teachers seeing these "babe" pics. as well" - Dion There's 3 right there other than myself that see why this is an issue. I am just voicing my opinion about it because it affects me greatly. RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

If those people were that worried about babe avatars to make it affect their activity on the site they probably aren't here for the in depth hockey talk to say the least. RIP Dangel.

But whatever, if this is what a league does when an active member has an issue and brings it up, so be it.

Chisling has a great point, but the fact that you can actually turn off avatars and sigs should completely diminish the problem.

To all of you who speak about "freedom" and "indiviuality": Freedom doesn't mean that you can just do what you want. Your own personal freedom ends where someone elses is in danger. And that's pretty much the case here, when people can't use the site because some people need to see fake boobs and asses 24/7. Of course there is still the option to turn if off via the settings, but it's a legit issue and I think it's good that it has been brought up. It makes the whole league look very immature, especially to new members who have to respect people... While those respectable people sport tits and asses in their avys.

The thing is is that it didn't use to be this bad.
Now it is rampant. RIP Dangel. See you on the other side, brother

I've turned my avatars off for many months now, and I eliminated the problem. It has not made my time here worse, I advise you to do the same.
