Look, Kirruu... we have gone over the ways in which you can block specific images ad nauseum over the last few days. Thanks for the review. Nice to see that in your ~20 posts, you were paying close attention. Also nice to see that with your 20 posts, you think your opinion should matter. I'm sure you've been lurking for eons, so no worries there either.
How to block/disable images is not what is at issue. What you can say in a flame is not at issue. What a person does or doesn't do at their place of employment is not at issue here. Whether or not you feel opressed is not at issue here. Censorship is not the issue here. We have a forum for posting whatever the fuck you want. Feel free to make use of it. What is at issue is consideration for other posters. I don't like the vast majority of you. I can't fucking stand several people here, but I'll be damned if I'll stand by and allow this environment to change into one where they can't post (I'm not saying they're specifically the ones raising the issue, just saying that I wouldn't want anyone to not be able to post here, and that includes everyone).
Get off your fucking high horses. Xyun, you love to throw out the word whiner when you're flaming people. You're turning into the biggest fucking whiner on the board. Everyone shut the fuck up and back the fuck down. The mods here spend LOTS of their own personal time making this place as nice as possible for us. I have no doubt that they'll get to making avatars blockable a priority, and get to it as soon as they can.

Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.
Fuck you you arrogant sanctimonious bitch. You think just because you have 30k posts and someone else has 20 you are somehow better or more pious? you are nothing but a hypocritical cyber monkey who jumps on every band wagon that comes along, be it righteous or not. You say this is about common courtesy but since when does courtesy get forced on people? Maybe, just maybe I don't want to be courteous to your self-absorbed deluded holier-than-thou ass, because maybe I just don't fucking like you. You can try to garnish your shit to make it look and smell otherwise, but it is still bullshit, and I'm calling you out on it, motherfucker.Aranuil wrote:Look, Kirruu... we have gone over the ways in which you can block specific images ad nauseum over the last few days.

Well, Master with 5k posts, hate to say you're wrong in this case but... the only reason why I came to VV few weeks ago was because I was looking for an item that I couldn't get ahold of for a while. I have never lurked on VV (guess the amount of posts you have doesn't make you omnipotent afterall). I've glanced at VV once before, got completly turned off by the amount of flames and stupid empty hate posts, never came back. And after my very first post, I knew why. It wasn't 30 seconds between me posting something and someone called me a jackass (simply because I didn't get my signature to work right in the first place).
I have been a contributing member of Veeshan server for years now. It's been my home for a long time, and yes, I do care what's going on.. but I've been quite informed and happy without VV and all this flame and insults. I'm actually regretting I let myself to get sucked in this thread, but I really do disapprove of censorship of any kind on contents directed at adults. That was really the only point I wanted to make.
So feel free to call me an idiot few more times, insult me some more (yes, I know, I should have farmed about 1000 more posts before posting anything with an opinion), but don't put too much effort into it because I'm leaving VV forums so your work won't be as much appreciated.
Well, according to my speculations on what I've seen on today's posts, next post should look something like "Quote Kirruu" Good riddance!
Good luck to all of you.
And *hugs* to all my friends, see you in game

Listen Mr. I-suck-dick-for-crack. Your opinion means not a fucking thing to me. I don't think you're witty, or frightening, or even remotely interesting.

The point I was making, and it's completely valid, is that the people discussing this are people that post here day in and day out, and some random person who may have lurked here for the last 5 years, but still hasn't been posting here, and is not a regular... their opinion DOES NOT count as much as those who post here regularly. Exclude myself if you like, I don't fucking care.
My point is still valid, and I'm still right. It's about consideration, and it doesn't surprise me in the least that you have none for anyone but yourself. Karma is a bitch Xyun, I only wish I could be around to see it when you become it's victim.

Second regarding your "lurker vs regular poster" hypothesis I call BULLSHIT. Consider that Kindo started this crap and her post count is some 90pts above your IQ.

It's not about censorship. It's about consideration for the other people that post here. I could be a blatant Jackass and use that tubgirl pic as my avatar and if it were absolutely allowed, I'm willing to bet most people here would not browse due to NWS policies on their office PCs or because they were disturbed by the image. Out of consideration, the moderators are moderating to ensure that people can use this board.
Post count doesn't equal status here. Posting intelligently goes a long way. Not to say that you don't, just that your assumption is incorrect.So feel free to call me an idiot few more times, insult me some more (yes, I know, I should have farmed about 1000 more posts before posting anything with an opinion), but don't put too much effort into it because I'm leaving VV forums so your work won't be as much appreciated.

I don't know about cid, but I was never once, ONCE, asked to remove my avatar. The only feedback I got from it was positive. That bit about not being able to "govern themselves" 100% moot when all you get is positive feedback. Oh wells )Voronwë wrote:i thought it was a pretty reasonable request.

No matter how many times you agree with Xyun, he'll still think you're an idiot, as do the rest of us. It's blatantly obvious that YOU don't have any consideration for the other posters on this board either, Atokal. You're a racist, prejudiced, asshole. This isn't crap. This rule has been in place since day one. If you don't like it, there are plenty of other boards for you to infest.

135 and still triple posts 
That said, the Furball that some cat threw up and dragged in here first said he would shut up, then said he was done yet keeps coming back showing himself to be more and more idiotic with each post.
Bet ya he will return again for more! All good things come in triplicates! Of course, with Xyun, Cartalas, Atokal and the Furball we are up to 4 idiots..

That kind of turned me on.

About the goings on: A static image may not be enough to get the attention of those office nuns but the animation may be just enough to capture their attention as they walk by. Regardless, we are a community and have a lot of people from all walks of life.
I haven't read every novel posted in this thread so I don't know if this has been brought up or not. The main stink about all of this is about those viewing from work. That is just one place of possible problem. What about those who have kids. Or those who have wives and girlfriends.
Now I know that there are a lot of you jumping up to say this and that about how the kids should be under control and all that bullshit but that isn't always the case. Kid does not just mean those under 10. Also, kids are not always able to be controlled. Am I right parents?
Wives and girlfriends for the most part I am guessing are cool and don't give a shit but there are always those few who tend to freak. My wife doesn't care because she hates EQ and has no interest in the boards. (don't tell her about my NWS posts) I guess even husbands and boyfriends could be freaks as well.
I am sure that there are other reasons and I am just as sure there are as many arguments to counter those reasons. I guess it all comes down to whether or not you are truly hurt by not seeing Cid's avatar in her slut pose?

this is a repost from the other avatar related thread because this thread is getting more attention
to find the solution to this issue, i think you have to try to come up with a compromise, so that both sides walks away feeling like they got the better part of the deal
yea i know that seems hard, especially in an online forum with people who love to flame
you have one extreme (party 1)
the people at work that can't view anything NWS
when i worked at a big company it was deemed inappropriate and unprofessional to have even a girl in a bikini on your computer desktop etc
and then the other (party 2)
full out porno everywhere we dont care yay boobies
how can we fix it temporarily so that both sides are happy until a better more permanant solution(turning off avatars/sigs) is available
well seeing as it would be unfair to party 1 to allow nws avatars to remain at the time being, we would have to stop their use on the non-nws forums until the permanant solution is implemented, the promised permanant solution should appease party 2 but maybe not enough to make them feel like they have walked away ahead so we may need some other bargaining chip thrown in for their side (5k vvs to keep your booby sig off til permanant solution!) that is just an example ok, so now that party 1 and party 2 both feel like they have walked away winning there is resolution and they can still both continue viewing the forums at their own descretion, be it from work or from their computer chair naked at home

No, we said that they could get us in shit at work preventing us from safely surfing VV there.I understand your stance, but you're choosing to pretend that the risque avatars affect a large percentage of the posters here.

The_Furball said:I call bullshit, and I also do most of my posting from work"
With 77 votes in on the poll, the majority of "regulars" have probably voted by now. At 49% of the votes saying they would either be reprimanded OR loose their jobs for NWS material onscreen, it looks like almost 50% of the regular readers of Veeshan Vault fall into that "small percentage" making you both dead wrong.I refered to the very small % of VV population that Z mentioned above. If you want to bend the board rules for that very small % of folks - now thats far more disrespectful for everyone else that wants the diversity and freedom on the boards then the other way around.

I call bullshit back!

Yeah well, I think the majority of the regulars should have requested that people removed their nws avatars instead of waiting for someone to start a huge whine thread to voice their opinions and change board policy. I really doubt there'd even be a problem if they had just pm'd the people with nws avatars and asked.

Another classic case of people not wanting to take responsibility for their own reckless behavior.
All flames aside, when did the core of our community here become such a pack of flapping vaginas? A lot of you posted from work during the IGN era when you knew damn well it could get you in trouble with your employers. The entire reason we founded this place was to allow people to say and do whatever the fuck we want, whenever the fuck we want, and however the fuck we want. The fact that some of you want things adjusted so that you can break your workplace's rules more discretely, is just pathetic. You basically lack the discipline to follow your employers rules and lack the balls to accept the consequences of getting caught fucking around on the job.
Anyone of you who's job would be endangered by one of those avatars (for which, really, only flat out nudity should be restricted) are obviously surfing so brazenly at work that anyone can see what you are doing. The avatars are visually small and inoccously named and through the magic of CLOSING THE BROWSER WINDOW YOU LAZY INATTENTIVE PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT whenever someone else approaches or you turn away from your workstation, you can break company policy with impunity. Chances are if something like Cids avatar is used to fire your ass, your company was just looking for an excuse to can your ass for something else, anyhow and if you have any degree of awareness of your local office politics, you would have known better than to surf from work at all. If you truely cannot get through a day without the stupid day to day penis jousting of this board, then you should damn well disable the avatars on your fucking browser or install Opera. Punishing the rest of ufor your apathetic work ethic really pisses people off.
As for the annoyance factor, I can say when Fesuni had the naked man ass in chaps avatar, I was fairly annoyed, since contrary to rumor I am not about teh cack. There are several other avatars that got on my nerves too, but I managed to survive through the miracle of tolerance and POINTING MY EYEBALLS IN ANOTHER FUCKING DIRECTION, which I am sure most of you can manage to do. Fact is, I have been far more offended by several people's behavior, stupidity, and opinions than I could ever be by a fucking avatar, but with the exception of Devereaux, no one has ever been banned for having those. You people have all turned into such pussies over the last year, what the fuck happened?
All flames aside, when did the core of our community here become such a pack of flapping vaginas? A lot of you posted from work during the IGN era when you knew damn well it could get you in trouble with your employers. The entire reason we founded this place was to allow people to say and do whatever the fuck we want, whenever the fuck we want, and however the fuck we want. The fact that some of you want things adjusted so that you can break your workplace's rules more discretely, is just pathetic. You basically lack the discipline to follow your employers rules and lack the balls to accept the consequences of getting caught fucking around on the job.
Anyone of you who's job would be endangered by one of those avatars (for which, really, only flat out nudity should be restricted) are obviously surfing so brazenly at work that anyone can see what you are doing. The avatars are visually small and inoccously named and through the magic of CLOSING THE BROWSER WINDOW YOU LAZY INATTENTIVE PIECE OF MONKEY SHIT whenever someone else approaches or you turn away from your workstation, you can break company policy with impunity. Chances are if something like Cids avatar is used to fire your ass, your company was just looking for an excuse to can your ass for something else, anyhow and if you have any degree of awareness of your local office politics, you would have known better than to surf from work at all. If you truely cannot get through a day without the stupid day to day penis jousting of this board, then you should damn well disable the avatars on your fucking browser or install Opera. Punishing the rest of ufor your apathetic work ethic really pisses people off.

War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower

Jice's nice paragraphs and highlighted bold sentences aside, he doesn't get it.
A quick look at Lynxe's poll on work and viewing VV should have sparked something in your brain, igniting a flood of reason to enter it, allowing you to understand that the majority of people that partake in this time sink of a website can't have questionable avatars on their screens.
Know your audience before preaching to them. This group of people enjoys flaming, heated debates, unrestricted freedom to type anything you want sans personal threats, with the ability to post as-nasty-as-you-want-to-be graphic images in the NWS section.

Well from the racistAranuil wrote:My IQ has been tested to be around 135, if you believe in such tests. I don't.Atokal wrote:First off what Xyun said.
Second regarding your "lurker vs regular poster" hypothesis I call BULLSHIT. Consider that Kindo started this crap and her post count is some 90pts above your IQ.
No matter how many times you agree with Xyun, he'll still think you're an idiot, as do the rest of us. It's blatantly obvious that YOU don't have any consideration for the other posters on this board either, Atokal. You're a racist, prejudiced, asshole. This isn't crap. This rule has been in place since day one. If you don't like it, there are plenty of other boards for you to infest.

Aranuil wrote:I had nothing to do with it, Xyun. Please feel free to light me up anytime you like, and don't ever let a locked thread stop you.
You're the only person who can flame anymore anyway.
Xyun is Xyun. Read Xyun for insightful political or religious commentary, otherwise ignore him.
… you're sm4rt. Your posts make that obvious. I'm not questioning your intelligence, I'm disagreeing with your view. Given your intelligence, I'm sure you understand the difference. I've never thought you were stupid...
Dude if you could suck Xyun off you would just so he would stop flaming your ass. As to what I said and Xyun will attest to this I think he is a fucking jackass with a very healthy and accurate opinion of you.
Cheers

Whole Devereaux thing was my fault, but got resolved.
No one has been banned for avatars.
We *asked* that people tone down avatars (and they did!)
We disabled offsite linking to avatars (for now) because of hugis file sizes.
If anyone actually read all of the admin's responses in this thread - we all quoted or acknowledged ideas (not rants) about solutions. Just like we didn't want to ban Searyx, we implemented STFU instead. Give us time and we will put in the ability to turn off avatars and signatures for those who are in restrictive workplaces. Give us more time, and hopefully we'll be able to turn off avatars/sigs per user just like STFU.
Problems with the server, plus existing plans for upgrading/retrofitting were going on before this, so it's low priority at the moment. Always remember, things in the site development board getting taken seriously and addressed.....just not in the most timely of manners always.

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

Ransure,
Yeah exactly, if I can tolerate something annoying, then anyone short of tweakers should.
Winnow,
That would be true if it had simply been bitching about the NWS content of the avatars, but people were bringing up the sizes and being flagged by SMS or other workplace watchdog apps. The fact is, if you dump your fucking cache regularly and never let anyone ever look at your screen, the only way to get nailed for surfing this site is because they logged your browsing (which many places can and will do). In that case, it wouldn't matter if you had JPGs of the pope or of Fesuni taking it in the ass from a donkey in live 3D, they are simply going to see that you hit this site for an average of 50% of your work day or more and can your ass for that.
Simple fact is, if you fuck around at work, grow some balls and accept a measure of responsibility of the possible outcome. If your office is so anal that you will get the axe for a postage stamp sized picture of a chick in a bikini, then have the fucking sense not to surf from there. The fact that the word fuck is used 100 times a day here has not detered anyone from browsing at work, its just some thin skinned pussy with virtually no posts decides they don't want to see it and "teh fnord" all get clenched assholes over it. Profanity will be the next thing bitched about, mark my filthy fucking words on that one.
Edit: Its not so much the actual act of avatar restriction that annoys me, as much as everyone playing the pussy angle in the issue. A lot of the people who jumped up in favor of this had a fairly good run of questionable avatars themselves. It would have been better for Xoo just to simple post a sticky saying "Because some people are pussies, we are disabling certain avatars until I find time between my scamming pussy and drinking to implement a fix. So let it be written, so let it be done." and been done with it instead of four pages of people humming America the Beautiful while telling us its our duty to make fucking around on the job for them less risky.

Jice, in my last job (I work from home now), my desk faced away from the door. People walk by all the time, so it didn't make sense for me to close my browser anytime someone "approached." I only "fucked off at work" when there was no work to be done, so I would never get in trouble for surfing the net, provided it did not involve offensive images. It was common for us NOT to have work.
I don't think I read a single post by Cid the entire time I was there because I had to quickly scroll down everytime I saw his avatar. Same for any others of an offensive nature, although they didn't seem to be so bad till recently. Last thing I wanted was for a coworker (or worse, boss) to come into my office and see that shit on my monitor.
Why people have to get so emotional over their porn, I don't know. Big fucking deal, it's an avatar. Respect the other people on this board who have jobs who don't allow that kind of thing.

How bout know your subject matter before advocating it? The very fact that you used the word reason to justify your blatant abuse of work time is fucking offensive and pathetic. I know it might be hard for you to follow me here but try. According to your "logic", the majority of criminals use roads therefore we should ban roads. Do you even realize how fucking idiotic you sound? Even if your logic was remotely close to being correct, the proper solution is not to ban avatars, but for you fucking morons to stop putting yourself at risk. All your little poll proves is that the majority of the people on this board are fucking invertebrates, which btw is no surprise. So you pussies can hold hands, sing songs, and celebrate your inferiority as if it is godsend, it is quite entertaining to watch.A quick look at Lynxe's poll on work and viewing VV should have sparked something in your brain, igniting a flood of reason to enter it, allowing you to understand that the majority of people that partake in this time sink of a website can't have questionable avatars on their screens.

So essentially Pyrella what you are saying is, the server/webpage/apps/programs you and xouqua and the others have been spending your money on to provide a good community is still in the development stages to further allow customization for people who frequent this board and do not pay a penny.
so in other words shut up you selfish pricks
not like they ran over your dog and shot your grandmother.
its a small box below your name that has been temporarily put on hold.

For the record:
1. I'm allowed to browse at work. I work at a call center. When there's no calls, there's no work. Web browsing is lightly moderated. My boss has seen VV and honestly doesn't care too much. He asked that I refrain from threads where the avatars from Kwon and Siji were posted, in case IT decided to check weblogs.
2. I am against the restriction of off-site Avatar linking. I've stated so in the appropriate forums to the Admins themselves.
3. I do, however, agree that making this board available to people who choose to browse from work is in the best interest of the board and community as a whole, even if it comes at the restriction of Avatar size/content.
I'd rather have a large group of diverse and outspoken people posting here than 3 jackholes with avatars from Buttloving Biker Bitches.
