Question about avatar approval

Okay. One of the last avatars I submitted got rejected. I have no idea why. It is a picture of Monica Bellucci and her husband Vincent Cassel. Although they both do not have on shirts, there is no nudity, per se. Yet, and no offense to Dan or Karen, who has a great rack, Imago's avatar is a pic of Muse's boobies and another orger has a picture of a guy in a jockstrap with his maked ass hanging out.

What's with that? confused

Unless it's nipples or bare booty, I don't reject any of them.
I realize this isn't consistent.

I will bring it up with the other mods...

Yes.

Unless it's nipples or bare booty, they should be approved.

lol

There are no set guidelines published for us, no.

So it depends on the mod who got my request? Where are any avatar guidelines posted?

From what I understand, it's no nudity or anything that could be deemed offensive. Like all things org, it's up to the mods.

I know that before I just click "approve" I check all background info on a user - in case they are a returning perma banned, alter or have other account notes

Do other Mods do this as well ?

Seems that the mods need to set guidelines about this pronto. Personally I feel that using another orger as your avatar is disrespectful but that's just me. shrug

Why is it disrespectful? Many here are good friends and have no issue with it at all. I mean Dan did a quality photoshop of me hugging him and used that and in no way did it offend me or strike me as disrespectful. Admittedly if it was someone you had no interaction with or relationship with then yes but that would be dealt with between the 2 i would suggest.

When "nipples" are mentioned does that mean both male and female nipples ?

and why or why not ?
