Not sure why the hate on women, but if you want to keep them, keep a low profile. Not sure when pretty women and football stopped being complementary, but there is a crack down going on.

That is all. try to have a nice day.

Eh. I suspect they're being a little more strict now in hopes that the "new game" brings in new users. Also, based on my understanding, scantily clad is generally ok as long is there isn't direct sexual innuendo.

It's amazing how they never learn a lesson about antagonizing their existing customers on behalf of potential customers that will never actually show up.

I have no idea (and I've tried every avenue I have to find out, lol). I suspect, however, that they want to make the site to be directed to a more general audience.

I don't necessarily disagree. That said, I keep avatars turned off in the forums because a) I check forums from work and b) have an 8 year old that likes to look over my shoulder in the evenings. I haven't seen more than a couple avatars that I personally consider offensive but have seen some that could cause problems in a work environment or cause questions from an 8 year old boy. I would be interested to see some of the avatars removed during this reported purge.

I can't think of a more general gaming audience than football fans.

Yeah not all avis kid friendly.

But the names of teams and dots are actually more egregious.

Considering this game/forum is not age restricted, GLB is actually pretty lax when it comes to content (pics, posts, dot names and team names).

I feel sexually harrassed when people use bunny or sheep pics in their avatars.

Yes, because a user will leave if a guy's avatar has tits......
