Well I bringing this up because I'm having fun when I browse and comment on gaming forums. But there's a funny incident wherein Me and a forum Moderator have an argument. The forum moderator warned me about my forum avatar and I should remove my avatar in 1 week due to some violation of forum rules.
Well I replied to the moderator an I said to him politely what's wrong with my avatar? It's just only a sheer girl on a Bicycle shorts and not intended to violate anyone or have a malicious intent. (On a Crotch Shot) See the picture here: http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n68/Aryannha/Cand14.jpg
Well I didn't receive a reply after that, I just totally removed that avatar and changed it.
Question is? Is the forum Moderator right on warning me because of that avatar or I just stated right what's on my mind.
Feel free to comment on this one.

offtopic: Is your current avatar here in mylot Yuri Sakasaki from Art of Fighting and King of Fighters? I love that character.
Back to the topic, I never have a scandalous avatar like yours but there was a time where the admin warned me about my avatar because its Bandwidth is way too over sized and it slows down the internet connection of the site. Its an oversized Gif. I was hated by everyone for a month because of it.

OT: Yeap. She is Yuri Sakazaki.
On Topic: Well oversized GIFs or have some dazzling animations can be warned too. But meh, forced to changed my avatar to something else. Thanks for your thoughts.

geez it happened to me again few minutes ago, In a music related forum, The admin warned me about my avatar for 3 years because of their new rules. what a downer! they blamed avatars for the slowdown of the boards while they let people have oversized signatures still have it.
Back to your situation, There is a double standards in your situation.... when women and gheymen(intentionally mispelled so you wont get a mature content tag) shirtless guys in smexy poses are on their avatars and sigs, they wont get warned.... But when we have clothed women in sexy poses in avatars and sigs admins will react.
