Are obscene avatars allowed or just ignored by the mods.

Same with obscene images within posts and signatures.

Should these be allowed?

Who would be the judge of what is obscene?

One man's obscenity may be just another man's tasteless humor.

Personally, I think the price of beef in Korea is obscene but have no problem with topless ladies dancing in the street.

Time to get continental and put the puritan Quaker morals away.

Honestly, I'd nuke anything over 150 x 150 pixels and anything not safe for work.

But I'd keep the Ultimate Warrior one for it's powers of destrucity.

As long as it's not profane in English it's fine. Korean swears are fair game.
