Because plant gore isn't banned! Thank you for joining me in my cause, let's stand up against the brutality today!I dislike and disagree with the NSFW policy regarding avatars.
This has actually always been our policy, we just made clearer what the policy regarding avatars and signatures entails because things were getting looked over and some of our Security Staff were confused. This means a lot more NSFW avatars were slipping through and we were only getting the ones that were extreme cases. People were also getting upset when we messaged them and asked for a change, because we didn't have clear lines drawn for them to follow.I dislike and disagree with the NSFW policy regarding avatars.

It's not only about being offended about or uncomfortable around it, but also the situation it's being viewed in. It's a reason it's called Not Safe For Work; if a coworker peeks over your shoulder and the first they see is some cleavage-heavy image of a loli or something, chances are they'll draw conclusions- none you want to be drawn about you.If someone finds a mildly revealing avatar offensive, I'm sorry, but there's no reason to go this far to defend someones sensibilities if they're offended or uncomfortable with sexuality.
If you're offended by that, you probably just don't need to be on the internet.

I suppose it is my fault for not working every waking moment at school, or for that matter at home around family, or anywhere else I am among people with a computer and free time.There's the root of the problem right there though...
Why are you at work and messing around on here anyways? Honestly people... Do your job. Get off Iwaku.
Responsibilities first, then play. Work, then pleasure.
Stop ruining it for the rest of us just because you're lazy and irresponsible.
You're being paid to do a job, not peruse Iwakus forums and DEFINITELY DON'T complain HERE about NSFW images when it's YOUR ACTIONS that caused the issue in the first place.
There are a lot of people who also live with kids, live with their parents, or have no choice but to access from school or work because they don't have other options. People who have to access at the library because they don't have a home computer. People who only get free time on their commutes to and from work, when they have to take public transportation. It's not just people being irresponsible. You're being really presumptive right now. o__oThere's the root of the problem right there though...

You absolutely are. But you were also making comments under an unfair assumption about other people because you're blaming them for the fact that we asked you to change your avatar. I'm sorry you got caught just on the other side of the line, but it's not the fault of people goofing off at work.I'm dealing with being limited because of the mistakes or situational happenstances of other people and OTHER peoples abuse of their freedoms, and I don't like it.
Am I not free to express my dislike of a rule that I find dumb?

Sure, as much as we are to express why we disagree with you, in turn.Am I not free to express my dislike of a rule that I find dumb?

Why do you want a NSFW avatar or signature anyways?
The policy isn't implemented due to the actions of others.
There has NEVER been any written rule or law in the history of mankind with the goal of preventing an action that hasn't already been done...
You are incorrect, mostly because the word "preemptive" in law doesn't mean "creating a law to prevent something from happening"...
Preemptive laws are laws where the Federal laws must be taken into consideration before local or state laws.
If you have evidence to the contrary, please list it. But the explanation of preemptive laws can easily be found if you use google. I encourage you to do so.
But my point remains... Why is the WHOLE of the community being restricted for the actions of a few? I understand that it's for publicity and public opinion of the site as a whole, but why can't you simply punish the ones who go too far rather than making a blanket law that pertains to EVERYONE? Certainly there has to be a better way...
