It has come to my attention over the last few weeks, that we have no rules for avatars written anywhere on site. I believe these to be rules that should be added, but am using a semi-different voting system for this thread. These rules mostly apply to the chat system, as adding a rule for the entire site would be furiously hard. I.E. Breaking these results in chat ban/kick, not a site block.

Voting

Supporting=If only has reasons, supports all rules. If you only agree with certain rules, specify them. I will remove rules from this thread if they are opposed enough.

Existing Rules for Avatars

-Do not include nudity

-Do not impersonate (Also a profile rule)

-DO not include real gore

Ones to Add

-No extremely offensive content. Examples: Swastika (Not the Buddhist style, the Nazi style), Krosstika, and so forward. (Religious symbols NOT included. If someone is offended by a certain faith, they can stay mute.)

-Do not insult others with avatar (I.E. A picture that says "_______ is an idiot")

-Do not steal pictures of real-life people you know without their consent.

-Do not use a picture purely to offend a certain user, or group of users.
