Default Guys, I know that I haven't been back for very long...

I have noticed that there are some things out there that would never have flown a year ago; it is a little strange to me that they are here now. One of the things that people seemed to have liked was that the board was relatively clean; we didn't have all of the scantily clad lady pics for starters. There were actually a couple of reasons for this:
a. Some people look at the .oRg at work (hard to imagine I know) - let's assume it is on breaks
2. Some people look at the .oRg with thier wives/girlfriends/husbands, kids, etc. ...
c. We have women as oRgsters as well as men (we do, I promise)... if you pay close enough attention, you can hear the sharks swimming everytime a new woman signs up.

Anyway, a long story, slightly less long:
I am asking for your help. I have seen a few signatures and thread pics that in my opinion don't, pass the "CAp's Mother In Law" test; so I am asking you to take them down. Easiest way to think of it is that if there is no bike in the pic with a bikini clad woman, probably not an appropriate pic. Truely, a bike in the pic doesn't legitimize it, but at least frames context.

If I see it, I will ask you privately to take it/them down; if you do not, I will help you remove it/them.

Some of you will undoubtedly be adverse to this- if you have comments/questions, then fire them off. I am fairly certain that this thread won't surprise anyone who has ever met me.


Thanks,
MCM

Hey, Shawn! Never met you but I've really questioned some of the content here as well. I can't say I haven't projected a little of the image of 'someone with an attitude' at times, but the skin thing is not in, at least not in my kingdom. Some have posted up links to items that are less than tasteful and are really more for 'keep it in you own house' kind of stuff and I haven't known how to tactfully address such stuff, but I haven't been here long myself. I've actually made an attempt to change the way I communicate here as well as elsewhere, seeing the negative impact it can have.

Totally support what your saying and have to admit a little guilt in other areas (the BA attitude) as well. Good to see this kind of concern around, and quite frankly some of what we all need. Anything I can do to help, let me know.

Thanks, sometimes the compass needle needs a little calibration is all; the .oRgsters are awesome - always have been...

I appreciate the help - sounds like the process has already started.

Only within the first 30 minutes of making said posts. The Mods and Admins will need to edit the posts after that time has passed.

Yep... admin/mods must take unilateral action after 30 minutes for post content.

I am wondering, however, if there is there an Control Panel option to allow users to "turn off" signatures? This would be an entirely worthwhile forum option... and in some instances, and significant bandwidth savings....
