That said, "freedom of speech" has nothing to do with this issue. The mods can limit us to avatars of anything they want. This is their private property.However, I've been noticing this forum is spiraling downward as far as limiting expression. If they want to keep it up they can, but it's asinine. That is all.

Guest nybullsfan Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 ^ Way to ruin your avatar Bill. I was "told" that the other wasn't appropriate. Down with 1st amendment rights. You got to be ******' kiddin' me. A hot female avatar photo is verboten, and Vega's over-the-top-violence avatar is OK - because it's just a cartoon I guess? Unreal. If you wish to file a formal complaint it will be taken under advisement ... Is this some kind of joke? It wasn't even a PG13 picture. WTF? I think Trips was referring to whether I wished to formally complain about Vega's avatar, which sheds a little light. I'm guessing someone made a "formal complaint" against BillReef's avatar, and rather than standing up to the complainer and telling them to get lost, the mod caved and told BillReef to change the pic.
