    My only response was to say "What the Fuck" and immediately ad-block the image lol.

    It did give me a chuckle but, It's something I certainly don't want to see every time I'm reading your posts.

    I believe I saw that image on Encyclopedia Dramatica once...I can't ad block the thing.

    Maybe another change is in order? (Plus I'm sure it breaks a few rules)

    Did you change it again already? Because alls I see is a dog scaring a kitten which isn't remotely controversial

    It broke a rule, so the internet gods took it off.

    Looks great, now.

    Let's not become any more like 4chan then we have to. This isn't a porno site and nudity has been banned from threads and posts for ages unless with strict permission (or if it flew through the radar on accident). Midknight's ava toes the line nicely and most Vash avatars and signatures toe the line nicely.

    But a naked Hitler with an erect cock is retarded. I don't give a shit if ad-block is there, if we can turn avatars off in the User CP or if you feel your rights are being infringed. This site has banned for having nude images before and I certainly don't want to see that change so we can become more like 4Chan, SE, SA or YTMND.

    If this wasn't your intention (causing controversy), then I apologize.

    That shit's retarded, however.

    I've gotta agree with Bio, here. It wasn't even that lulzy to begin with.

    Also: mine's sexier.

    Controversy? No. I thought it was funny, I asked Syao if I could use it, and I did.

    I didn't expect to keep it, so that's not to surprising. Even still, trying to chastise me over a cartoon is fucken' ridiculous.

    And it was a naked gay Hitler. If anything, PinkBoa should be forced to use it.

    Something you pointed out the last time this happened, when you jumped on the bandwagon of keeping that dude who posted Dobby porn banned. And yes, it is graphic and it is smut.

    Let's not debate this issue because we know it's fucking retarded. It was clearly out of bounds, has been the cause of two bannings and if it was done by anyone else who hasn't been an IRC-Member or here for two years, they wouldn't be here.

    As for Syaoran giving permission: cool on the immediate hop to asking a recently-made Admin instead of you know, asking Raven who you know would say you're being a dickweed. I'd say you were taking advantage of someone and hiding behind them but let's not be any dumber than we have to. That much is obvious and isn't new to me, as I've done it.

    It's lulz in IRC, it's retarded on a forum where intelligent discourse should be the standard for every forum (except S&P and even there, there's some modicum of civility in the usual prohibition of pictures). What does an obscene avatar say towards intelligent discourse? It says this forum is retarded. Case closed, it's done.

    If you can do a cock-wielding Hitler, then someone can do a goatse and then they can do 2girls1cup. It's a never-ending, downward spiral into the utter fucking retardation that is SomethingAwful, SensibleErection, 4Chan and the other sites that cater to morons. You turn off our more moderate members and our HP-fans who don't give a shit for it and while we're not trying to be MuggleNet.com, we're also not dedicated to being utter fucking pricks who seek to out-gross one another on the forum.

    We have S&P for that, where people can totally bypass that forum (as I do, unless directly linked to something) and we have IRC, which hazes people who don't like it out and where we disregard most of the rules this forum follows.

    Don't push the bill because that's what you're doing. And if you didn't know that, you're a moron and you need to think before doing what's IRC-acceptable on DLP. And don't try to say "well an Admin allowed me to do it."

    I've used that excuse before and it only ended in a shit-storm of indignation and the general consensus that I not only stepped over the line, but shit on it.

    Not even arguable, of course it is. Still, the rules and ToS have been trampled for the last year.

    As to bandwagonning the Dobby dude, I can barely even remember that, but if I did, shame on me. That shit is hilarious and I recently reposted the stuff (with more from the same author) in S&P.


    Well, now it's just a who-has-the-last word thing. You don't want to leave it alone (obviously, or your post would've ended here), and neither do I. A pink-things thing, as LB and Syao would say.

    Yup, true enough. You don't see me bitching it's gone. I'm not going to say it wasn't funny as hell though, cause it is. A gay Hitler doing the Nazi salute in front of a table of dildos is not only funny, but proper for a fuckhead like that.

    Lol wut?

    Don't get me wrong, I see where you'd assume this. Like you, I've done it in the past as well, but this wasn't one of those cases. It was 1 AM when I found the pic (as the thread timestamp proves), and he was literally the only staff around. I asked out of convenience.

    If Raven or any of the other staff had brought it up to me, I would've removed it. Raven's only question at the time was who had given me permission to use it, and then he moved on, so I assumed it wasn't a big deal.

    Nothing. The content of my posts or others isn't effected at all by the content of my avatar.

    If the casual unregistered lurker around here is turned off to the site because I have an avatar mocking a dead, homophobic dictator by protraying him as a faggot with a hard-on, it speaks less of their spine, not of the site.

    o_O SensibleErection is nothing like either of those two. If anything, it's most like Slashdot and FARK, only with a fair bit porn.

    Nah, if I kept being a dickhead and putting it back up or arguing that I should be allowed to, I'd be pushing the bill. I don't give a fuck it's gone, you just need to back off my shit.

    If I'd gotten all moral high-ground on you like this over one of your avatars, you'd have a spazz and we both know it. If you want to drop it, fine, we can drop it.

    If not, this topic will go on and on because both of us are dickheads who like having the last word. Unless someone axes it, that is.

    It made me laugh, and then I saw the dildos in the background and I fell out of my chair.

    Where the fuck did you find it?

    @Bio--Yeah, but he has here for two years, so he can get away with it. We all know the rules don't really apply to people who've been around long enough.
