Do you think that mylot should enforce soem sort of regulations monitoring some members avatars?
Are lingerie wearing shots of girls sprawled across a bed appropriate for a community forum?
For that matter, is a picture of someone kissing another person appropriate?
What sorts of photos do you consider to be appropriate/inappropriate?

I really haven't seen any Avatars that are too inappropriate. I think that some people have personalities that are a bit more risque than others, and this is portrayed in their choice of Avatar. The Avatar is supposed to provide a hint of your personality, after-all.

i dont have a problem with avatars...as long as it's not of some other movie stars...i find it funny that some men love to put up some pretty women up as an avatar, hoping to get good response!!

Well, I really think it's up to mylot to decide what's appropriate and what's not. Since they enforce rules on guidelines, I can't believe they're not as strict to the avatars as well.

I believe that more stringent control of overtly suggestive avatars would be appropriate for mylot. They are an unfortunate distraction in my opinion, which diminishes the dignity of the forum. The owners of such might consider that they are an expression of some aspect of their personality, but even so, it would be inappropriate to have a particular "statement" of such distracting nature inserted into every discussion that the member chooses to become involved in.
