Guidelines to avatars, pictures, links, video clips
http://www.arofanatics.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=213967
As discussed on the above thread, the guidelines on avatars, pictures, links and video clips will be implemented with immediate effect. "The mis- use of avatars, hotlinking and attachments would constitute the use of, or reference to content that is religiously, ethnically or culturally offensive (or sensitive). This would include, though not limited to- pornography, explicit content of sexual orientation; or content that might discriminate against, and therefore could potentially create tension amongst different religious, ethnic and cultural groups." For infringements of these guidelines, we will on the first infringement, we will reset ur reps to zero as a warning. on the second infringement, we will take away ur privilege to use any avatars and you will have ur title changed to " restricted user " to indicate ur privileges have been taken away. This will be for a minimum of 60 days and 20 rep points. on the third infringement, we will ban ur account. If you feel that you may be pushing the limit in ur choice of pictures or avatars, we suggest you err on the side of caution and not put them up to avoid any offence to other parties and unhappiness when we take action against you. If you see your avatar removed and your points reset to zero, this just means that your avatar has gone beyond our limit. Do not start another thread to claim ignorance and ask why again. I will suggest that those avatars in very suggestive poses and those that focus on just the women's breasts be removed so that you will not invite any complaints against your avatar.

It is the responsibility of the members to read the rules of any forums or websites that they want to visit and abide by them. May I respectfully remind all that when you signed in to register at this website, you agree to abide by all our rules and regulations before you can even proceed with your registration. The thread garnering response and letting members have their final say was there for a week until it went without response for two days before we implement the guidelines. It is not our responsibility to mass email or mass private message everyone in here. And I am sure our members do not need to be spoonfed in this manner. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Inevitably ignorance will always be used as an excuse. " I am new, I long time never log in, etc etc. " If we let these excuses be, then there's no point in implementing guidelines, cos somehow someone will abuse the guidelines, claim ignorance and quote precedents. I know this for a fact, cos we have tried persuasion and coaxing, time and again, to request members to be mindful of the minority, when they put pictures and avatars up, all to no avail. The guidelines were implemented as a last resort, when all persuasions failed, and the complaints became terribly rampant, everyday
