Some Mylot member asked me to change my AVATAR. Shoud i?

Sometimes criticisms are for the better. If you are up to it, try experimenting with better avatars. Might work magic. But somewhere you must have one distinctly your own. Then let no one make you change it anymore.

its one of those things that you really don't have to but you can. i could understand if it was some thing bad, but its not. i can understand why some people are asking you to change it, but its not showing any thing. I've seen worst images on here they your avatar. personally i wouldn't change it unless the creator of mylot say that you have to change it. its kind of cool that you turned it into a negative colored image.

I do not care for your avatar, there are others I do not like either. This is a family type website. Young people can be on here.That is not appropriate for them to look at. I was not going to say anything, but since you ask, I am telling you that in my opinion it is inappropriate for this site. I would never have put it up in the first place, so I would never have to be asked by someone else to take it down.

I don't think anyone has a valid reason for asking you to change your avatar. If they don't like it, they don't have to look at it. The avatar any member chooses is a personal choice and you have as might of a right to express yourself as anyone else here has.

Your avatar doesn't bother me. As long as the admins of mylot don't have a problem with it then I say keep it. After all, you can't make everyone happy.

Maybe that mylot member wanted the hands removed out of the picture because he\she is a sicko.

i won't be changing my avatar just because people asked me to... if they don't like my avatar, it is their problem and they have a choice not to look at it... i don't force people to look at my avatar... we have the freedom here to post any avatar we like as long as it is not offensive and does not violate mylot regulations... take care and have a nice day...

It's your avatar, so I don't see why you should change it. I'm sure there are plenty of avatars that some people like more than others, but it's odd that someone would actually ask you to change yours.

Doesnt matter, change it or not. It is impossible to satisfy everyone, unless the avatar was offensive and a mylot admin or w.e asked you to change it, then that would be the time to change the avatar.

Well lets take it this way, I guess some people simply loved your discussion but then when they saw your profile avatar they simply could not look at it, some people do feel uncomfortable with the way things are, not all like to leave their comfort zone.......but still I would say the decision is yours its your avatar and you have the full control over it....... Have a nice day !!!!

Now that you've put asked it, you drew more attention to the avatar, lol. I don't used to stare coz I thought its just a bunch of colors but now that you've mentioned I recognize the picture. lol. I'm an artist and I draw naked portraits within the bounds of art, im not sure though why some over-zealous people are offended by it. Its the human body, so long as its not vulgar or inappropriate I don't mind.

Any avatar selected by a person, is his own expression of self, it reflects what he thinks/visualise himself, that is to say picture of self. There are persons who some times suggest to change the avatar, it is immaterial. as long as he wish, he may have it that way. There is no necessity, when any person says some thing, it is not necessary to change, or to follow, it his own wish, if he thinks, he may have it, if he like it that way, the it is O.K. I am sorry for it. PLease forgive me. Seasons greetings and all the best wishes.

well.. this is for real... you can't please everyone

I changed my avatar from a mountain with a bunch of clouds to the angel with beautiful wings I have now because it suited the mood I am in. I don't think anyone here has any right to tell us or ask us to change our avatar. It is our alter-ego I think. It is for some people a way to express the way they are feeling. Like with me. When I had the mountain and the clouds it was me and showing how open and free I was feeling. Now the angel is showing how sad and full of grief I am feeling. And that I know that God is at work right now very deeply in my life. So I think you should do what is right for you and the heck with what anybody else asks you to do!! Make you feel good for you that is all that counts first last and always!!

If you feel comfortable with that avatar I don't see any reason why you should bow to others opinion. It is you who bear the brunt of criticism, if any. Again you need to analyze your avatar, what does that represent, anything offensive? Maybe if it is not of public interest you should try to change it to something that every eyes is comfortable of looking. The avatar is the first impression that draws the likely person behind the posts. Pictures tell a thousand story.

mostly I wonder why you feel the need to ask. If you are confident in what you have there then surely it shouldn't matter to you what this person thinks. Obviously this person was offended by it and chose to let you know....freedom of speech.

Hi Daryljane, for me to remove my avatar, the requester must give me a reason. A reason like he doesn't like it, is not good enough. It's a matter of opinion anyway. And I won't remove it - the person can opt not to view or respond to my discussions if he doesn't like my avatar!

I almost didn't recognize you there! lol! Well, i guess you should especially here in myLot since lots of people are quite concerned about not mixing it with anything sexually graphic at least. Yours border from sexually graphic and not sexually graphic. If my avatar is nothing short of violating the rules, then i won't change it. I'm pretty sure you'll draw flak from people here and if you can stand it, why not? revert it back to your old avatar.

hahaha... i like you avatar mylot....it is unique..if me., i will stick with this avatar...

I would not change it. If they dont like it they certainly dont have to look at it or open your discussions. Do what you want.
