SO maybe you should distinguish the diffrence between pictures maybe?????

When you use the "photo upload" feature, you should see information there, that states the photo must be a photo of you.

Excuse my error in calling your MR. Soul, but, usually women understand me fairly well, it's the guys that seem to have comprehension problems so, I had to assume as much.

And yes, I did notice that the second "picture" you uploaded was a bit different than the first, the first being more colorful.

I suggest you look closer.
Those are avatars.
They link to profile pages that have either personal photos or are blank.

A BREECH OF PRIVACY : PUBLICLY DISPLAYING AN EMAIL ADDRESS
Is an OFFENCE

Again, those are people's AVATARs, as I mentioned to you in BOTH my email and private message this morning. The confusion is clearly on your part.

And when we remove user photos, if we didn't send an email, users would wonder what happened to the photo they "thought" they uploaded and put it back...thus, the reason for my FIRST email to you.

Really, you don't say? Now WHO IS BEING HYPOCRITICAL? I would highly recommend you look at YOUR very first post in this thread.

My picture was not offensive nor was cartoon it was a tasteful design I created & use to compliment my user name (SoulsRival) I refer to the guidelines (uploaded photo's must be of the person,) Upon exploring this site I had seen cartoons as profile pics ect so I didnt think this would be a problem.. When I veiwed the administrator's Profile who sent me this email today I discovered the first page of friends list including Moderators ect had cartoon pictures uploaded as profile pics.

What part of my last email regarding your user photo did you not understand?

We have forum rules, if you don't wish to follow them, please let me know and I'll delete your user account.

User photos MUST BE A PICTURE OF YOU. Period. End of statement. Not a drawing, a sketch, a cartoon, or a symbol.

I've removed it once again.

Have a good day.

Here it is, I'll quote it for you in case you didn't see it. Notice the RED letters

That would be called an EMAIL address.....

I'm going to use this as an example, since I just got a notification on it.

This is a user who posted a photo, that is not in compliance. I am going to send him/or HER the very same FIRST email I sent to you, then I will remove the "photo"

This will happen in approx 10 minutes or so, to give you time to see an example

And here is another one that was uploaded last night. Although very cute, and I LOVE CATS, it is going to be removed, and the poster will be notified.

Are you catching on yet?

[ashes@work]

why didnt you just put it as your avater?

As Candy reveals one more thing she quietly does on a daily basis to keep this place tidy.

[Drabdr]

First and foremost... forum moderators and administrators can do whatever they wish. It's their board and their rules.

Second, actions by mods/admins are addressed by other mods/admins first. Thus, really the only people Candy should even be concerned about is her peers.

Third, to Soulsrival, I understand your irritation. Avatars (and pictures and such) are a personal thing many times; an expression of one's individuality. So when it gets challenged, you feel a bit of a challenge.

However, such judgment questions like this are ones that come up on many discussion boards. First, where do you draw the line? You have to draw a line, so someone is going to get irritated. Too, I'm not sure if it's the policy here, but people generally get more leeway the more time they have put in on a board.

If an administrator has asked you to do something, then it's best to comply. If you don't agree, report the post and move on. But... I would not take it as a personal attack or anything. It's just a discussion board.

Any avatars (and pictures) of a questionable nature are subject to scrutiny, and should be removed upon request.
