I didn't think it was appropriate -as i am often accompanied by my 6yr and her 14yr old brother.Who incidently nearly had an asthma attack when he saw it-he was laughing so much!

Yep!
Ok there are 3 different 'controversial' pics from joem.
1. bouncing boobs(in shirt), cartoon (IMO, on the edge, not something to be banned for)
2. the one with the goat (not very tasteful, and not good for kids on here)
3. real (naked) boobs with hands rubbing them
(going a bit to far, when thinking of kids on here)
And, because, why??? I don't see the need for it!!
Now, all of these pics seperatley are probably not reason enough to ban, but with him repeatedly putting them on, and also after warnings (including the pinned message at the top of the forum), well....
And I don't see what it has to do with humour!!
And who says anybody complained?(I certainly didn't) Maybe Peter just thought it wasn't appropriate for a forum about migrating.
Or maybe a parent with kids on here complained.

Didn't complain, but did find it mildly irritating because it just went on and on and on and on.... and yes, there are young children etc, around etc. I wasn't suprised it got taken off, considering that Bix and Jack's got taken off and they were only cartoons. (It was Bix and Jack wasn't it? )

I didn't see this one so do not know how offensive or not it could be considered but if Joem got a PM and ignored it then on his head be it. Provided of course as WBB says he had time and knows what a PM is.
It's easy for us to bash the mods but their job can't be easy so whether we agree with all their decisions or not or whether our perceived standards are the same really should not be a major issue. Just removing a little avatar would have been a simple thing to do.
Joem, I don't want you to leave us so just register again under a new name and get back to your normal self. Forget the defiance you are showing in this thread - life is to short.
I think the mods will be okay with that

Re: Put your hand up if your a prude
Wasn't me, i actually copied it to save it, (the boobs in under the shirt one) but didn't save properly as they weren't bobbing up and down in my pictures! If you could tell me where you found it i'd be pretty grateful

Doesn't really matter what any of us think; when we sign up to the forum we agree to be bound by the rules, and stick to them and all that stuff. The moderators are there to enforce the rules, just like in any community, and lets face it they are often pretty lenient.
I view it as the same as any club or organisation - if you don't like the way its run, leave!
I don't have kids myself, but I know a lot of kids do view the site with their parents. That sort of picture (the one with the rubbing of the breasts) is fine in its place - but I don't feel its place is here.
And in case you're wondering - No, I didn't complain about it.

So who's the "prude or prudes" that comlained about my avatar and got me banned, it was an avatar of a woman rubbing her breasts, "big deal" If you considered it porn, you must have lived a very sheltered life. I had no intention of keeping it in my posts, have a look in the lounge, the "F" word is used on a regular basis, yet no one is banned for that.
Can I have a show of hands from the prudes

Perhaps a "boobie" prize for guessing?
PS. Are you obsessed by boobie avatars Joem? Counselling may help

I saw it and thought it was pretty borderline. It wasn't something you were likely to see on TV before the watershed, and it didn't have a place here.
even if I did admire it for a few moments....
