i'm really not wanting to be a troll or anything, but there are a few siggy's around here that are really...not appropriate. they don't show major nudity or anything, but IMO, they're disgusting.
it really bothers me because i have to be really careful about what topics I can look at when my parents are home, and even then, they're usually in there somewhere.
once again, not trying to be a troll, so i'm going to stop my opinions at that. >_<

The problem is that words like "disgusting" are highly subjective. I can't reprimand people for signatures based exclusively on someone else's dislikes.

I don't care for some of the signatures either (although I don't think that they're disgusting. lol I just don't care for them), but same thing. I'm not going to tell someone to get rid of a signature because it isn't aesthetically pleasing to me.

Bottom line, they're not breaking the PG13 guideline. The images are suggestive, not blatant. My suggestion would be to either disable viewing signatures or ignore the individuals that have signatures you are displeased with. I apologize, but those are really the only options I see at the moment.

edit - I guess as I was typing you replied. lol

oh dear lord, i started a war. stubborn.gif

just for the record, i don't have a major problem with the signatures themselves. i'm arguing that, although they are a bit inappropriate, the main problem is the fact that i (and probably others) are limited to the use of the forum when adults are around.
yep. if i would have remembered that it was possible, i wouldn't have even brought it up. mellow.gif
