That about right?

Basically, though you forgot the implicit assumption that every user is on the same side of any given issue.

And as has been said, some people prefer not seeing bouncing boobs in a wet white t-shirt whenever they are reading a post.

NSFW pics on GLB -> lazy non-productive GLBers with office jobs complain that they can't use the site at work -> NSFW pics made illegal -> economy goes right back into the shitter
it all comes full circle!
DO THE RIGHT THING, GLB. BRING BACK THE SMUT.

Like I said, upside is satisfying other existing customers, of which there are many who would prefer there to be less racy pictures in user and team avatars. Certainly many more than you would probably think.

Just follow my lead, bro. This is between jd and DB. Just post random shit here and there to entertain yourself between their posts.

OK, first off, there's a difference between a mild annoyance, in the sense that you might prefer the rule was a different way, and something that substantially impedes your enjoyment of the game, which this most definitely is NOT.
Again, you shouting "NUH UH!" at the top of your lungs doesn't actually affect reality. Clearly the annoyance is pretty significant to some people, so your continued denial of that only serves to question your motive. Do you see me accusing bhall, Gman, T2, or TG of sucking up? No, because they haven't been. You have, whether you're conscious of the behavior or not.

You can't possibly believe that, as you know how much people in the Lounge enjoy watching me excoriate someone. They link them all the time. Like anything else, the entertainment value depends upon the quality of the work as well as the subject. The only people who pretend that no such value exists are the ones being subjected to it. Regardless, you're continuing to pretend that multiple people hadn't already explained why this isn't insignificant, or that you haven't already contradicted your own words.

I hear the new game is going to be 4chanlineblitz, where you can put points into dick pics and tranny porn, then compete in a forum to see which player's poster gets suspended first.

Eh, probably. I think I've said pretty much all I have to say on the topic anyway. I'd rather not keep going in circles for the next hour.

It's already been done by Darkus. Monumental failure.

Racy avatars have nothing whatsoever to do with moderators being comically unaware of the rules, using bias when moderating, or applying the rules with dizzying inconsistency.

I find that very hard to believe. Even if it was, tell me if it was good for this site for GLB to side with CONN CHRIS by killing off CPL.

I've seen people accusing bhall of sucking up.

I haven't seen the other 3 post, so I'm not sure where they would get called on sucking up.

Going CONN CHRIS or 4chanlineblitz are both bad.

Acting like getting rid of sexually charged avatars is the same as CC is a bit of a stretch.

bhall sucking up?

He might troll the shit out of users but I would hardly accuse him of kissing ass.

You can do better than "I know you are but what am I" And it's exactly the same, in point of fact. GLB heeded CONN CHRIS and killed CPL because the posts were too coarse and rowdy. "Think of the children!!1 They play GLB too!!!" So in the service of political correctness that no one besides him cared about, GLB killed off a community. Granted, racy avatars don't have anywhere near the same value as CPL posts did, but it's the same philosophy behind it.

Ok first off I don't think people should be sending me rude messages just because I voiced my opinions about this forum. I think that captures exactly the sort of negative, urban chest-thumping that this forum engenders in posters.

Take note: If you post in this forum I will not allow you on my team. Ever.

Second off, to the person who said I don't have to click on this forum that is not true, I have to click on this forum to make sure none of my players are posting here.

I stand by my opinion that this forum is only going to add unnecessary acrimony to a game we all love. I wish that people could be competitive without having to be mean about it.
