Sigs... How Far Can We Go (Me thinks the Lady shall protest)

Post by KillerByte »

How far does our freedom of speech extend for use in the sigs.

For example can I put a picture of a nude woman covering herself with her hands. (You know the type of pic, all the interesting bits are covered.)

I ask just for interest sake and because I am busy designing a new sig and I like pics of the Ladies on my sig, Desktop, Screensaver, Cellphone.

What do the mods say?

And Now another issue that has been brought to light. How do the laws of freedom of speech extend to our isgs in terms of political and religious slogans of deformations.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

Guys...i used to have kinky ladies in my sigs and av's...and i've learned that it's better to leave that on your desktop because it is a family forum ya know!

So...maby you could pm the mods (and me) the pics you are making and then they will confiderate and accept or deny it!

You are right it won't go down well. Not to be funny or anything. And keep your ladies covered as -=WiK1d=- said, it is a family forum. As far as the Political and religious stuff goes I have talked to cameron and we should have an answer to that in a couple of days maybe a week depending on how busy he is.

An "anti islam" or "anti - any religion" would certainly not work. You can promote your owm religion, like i do, but don't rock up with a sig of something like Jesus or some other God smoking a joint, that would be very offensive to those following that religion.

Errr. I made it :lol:
And those are only legs. Verry nice legs but none the less just leggs. I cut the rest of J... I mean her out with a reason. The same reason which you are going to think of if you make a sig. :wink:


<edit

I forgot to mention the dragon. Dragons are cool unless there is a nude someone sitting ontop of them :lol:

I am not trying to be funny or anything, but I think it would be better for there to be a bit more caution when it comes to the pictures in the av's and sig's. My parents look at me a bit weirdly when I am reading the forums and there are some "interesting" pictures. I have to try to convince them that I am not looking at pr0n. Just a thought, sure I am not the only one with this sort of problem.
