Locked Avatar??

I was wondering why my Avatar was blocked. Yes I know it was a stick man humping a Honda sign. For those of you who have seen it is not bad looking. I understand if would be offensive or something if it was on a Honda forum, but I doubt that anyone hear is a huge Honda fan considering this is a thirdgen F-body site. But I guess I am wrong.

I think all you have to do is read the first 2 lines of your post again to find out why.

Yes, but if you actually saw it is not bad at all. I assume that the youngest people on this board are about 15, I dont think anyone would be offended.

What is wrong with a dancing purple hippo?

I think if an avatar is vulgar or offensive, it should be removed.

Well 88aziroc if you put it that way then what is wrong with stick figure dancing with a Honda sign??? And the name of the "dancing hipo" is HITITHIPO, well come on you dont have to be a gunius to figure that one out. And for the record I dont have a problem with 88aziroc Avatar its just seems like a double standard since he is a mod.

Well, he is dancing. That clip is from Kozo and the hippo is dancing to the "Thong Song". It is only a small part of it.

I am in the process of changing it to a different part of the video, just to make sure I dont offend anyone. I have had a lot of people email me and ask about it. No one has ever said anything about it being offensive in any way.

I do not agree with any avatar that has sex, violence, nudity, vulgar words, etc. I actually think your avatar is funny, but it is not my choice. If an admin had told me that my avatar is/was out of line, I would change it right away.

We all agreed to the same user agreement, and all must obey the rules. The mods of this site can not change someones avatar. Only the admins can.

88, I'm gonna have to ask you to remove yours also, Dirk is in agreement with all this.

And gear, lets remove what you wrote in the Location part of your profile.
