NEW limited poll on sexually explicit avatars & signatures

[Cheri]

:roll: @ this thread and some complainers in here, Excuse me, I'm an adult and I don't appreciated some of you jumping on those who agrees with mildly sexual images. Just vote and shut up! Go somewhere else and rant all I care.

Oh you mean you have to depend on Reba to speak up for ya and others? Oh okay.

So you see my avatar as nasty too? A little nudity on an avatar won't hurt as long as there is no hard porn on it. Get it?

Really, I posted more on other thread about avatars and such than Reba did so I don't rely on her, really. You misunderstood why I said to somebody that she (that somebody) firsthand misunderstood us.

By my opinion on your avatar is ok and hard to see it because it's too small to notice as obvious. I wouldn't speak against your avatar. You do know others' nastier avatars is so obviously overexposed.

 

[Cheri]

Web;

Stop repeating yourself, You kept saying the same things over and over again. It's tiresome. Just vote and get out, leave the thread alone, members here had enough of bashing. Time to drop the subject and let Alex take over now. Thank you!

Dang, Web, you must be a scientist to patiently study something so small before blurting something about it.
Brilliant, really.

Look, there is no difference when family bring children and they see everyone being nude at a hot springs or beach. It's legal here in the US in many places in the states. It's like showing the similar thing on the avatars. I've been around everyone being nude at a hot spring in California and it has not done anything to me or changed who I am. Why does it have to go so far with the avatars and signatures of these? It's not much of a difference is it? Why are there smileys with sexual content? Alex decided it for the forums. You have no control over it. He has the control and decide what he wants for the forum. If you don't like it, don't come to Alldeaf!!!!!!!!

Mod Note:

As per VamPyroX's post indicates above....

Be forewarned...we may not be posting in response to what is apparently going around here in AD lately, but we're *watching*....

Although, all the finger-pointing does need to end, which is causing much more drama that isn't neccessary, yet, seeing that IF there is any underlying malicious intent to disrupt AD in such a way or getting members to pit against one another by anyone will surely hear from the Administration/Mod team.

Rebel,

If you don't vote, any Southern/Rebel/Dixie Flag would not probably accept on any avatar...

Yeah, Pointing at Eve with five kids and her hubby.

Vamp, how do you know if family members can open the AD accounts on same email address/IP addy?

Give me a break...

 

[Eve]

I apolgozie to saying that, Eve. I think its a little immature of you to being like that way. I think it suppose to be Alex's, RoadRunner's, Vampy's jobs to doing that, not you. If they want to say something then why not they come up in here and talk abt it so we can see what their opinions is, etc like that. Just us, I dont understand why you need to bring it up. I already SAW THREE THREADS same shit of title that you been post already. Its enough to post the threads SAME TITLE since you already posted THREE TIMES. It will be my last post in here and I will let you guys handle, I just wanted you to see how I feel, Eve. I apologize to said that, but its fact how I felt abt that thread. Thanks. Bye

Sequoia and sweetheart, I already posted where Alex TOLD us to vote on the matter (in the first thread of “Inappropriate Signatures”. He actually wants our input. If he makes his own poll, great! I’m all for it. I’m not trying to step on anyone’s toes here, I must have just misunderstood and thought that he wanted us to make the poll ourselves. We all make mistakes, that isn’t immature, that is HUMAN.
I do have a right to be offended by some of the content here in AD, and from the looks of it, I’m not alone, as it is nearly half the members who have voted so far with the same concern.

I know EVERYBODY in here have common sense

This is your OPINION, certainly not a FACT. Because I have seen many instances where no common sense was used in posting questionable material.

I am a parent and I don't allow my little girl to go on the internet without my supervision.
I have my computer desk turned around so she would not be able to see what is on my computer.

I’m glad to know you are a diligent parent. Sadly, not all are. And, as my least favorite president used to pound, “It takes a village to raise a child”. And believe me, I’m NOT a democrat.
Furthermore, it’s not just the children impacted by someone’s blantant disrespect for others. I am personally offended by some of the things I see, and am sure others are as well. You have your PENISARIUM, so why can’t the rest of AD be clean for all to enjoy?

That's your opinion, but don't speak for some of us here....

Actually, this is FACT because she clarified by saying “some”, not “all”.

Same here, and no matter where or how, children will intend to find a way to view some nudity images, it could be on TV, movies, magazines, books, or during sex classes at school and not only on the internet....

But my point is: do WE here at AD personally have to contribute to the delinquency of minors?

Mind me asking if you have any children?... ( you don't have to answer that if you do not want to, just curious )

And I never wait until they learn it in school. I ALWAYS have multiple discussions with each of my children (at the appropriate age) about sex. This way I know what they are being exposed to.

What about us Silent Majority here?

Since when were YOU silent?

Alex decided it for the forums. You have no control over it. He has the control and decide what he wants for the forum. If you don't like it, don't come to Alldeaf!!!!!!!!

Again, you seem to not notice that Alex is the one who told us to discuss the subject and vote on it.

Yeah, Pointing at Eve with five kids and her hubby.

I can assure you, I do NOT allow my children to come to AD, simply for the reason I have opened this thread. I do NOT approve of the content in AD! As for my husband, I do not control what he does, we have 2 separate computers and we both do as we please. Yes, we both share the same ip, but not the same ideas. Believe me, he is much less outspoken than I am on many matters. AND, I know that we are not the only hearing impaired couple in this forum.

I personally feel that if we all took the time and thought "what would my mother think of this" or "would I want my son/daughter/niece/nephew looking at this" before posting in open forum and especially in an avatar or signature which is posted each time a post is made, it might help determine what is appropriate and what is not.

Amen! Thank you, Eve!

Is that so? No wonder why the poll for 'no' was higher than 'yes' yesterday, I found that strange how the poll went up that high in 15 minutes time frame.

 

[Oceanbreeze]

While it's awkward, I do think parents have a responsibility to their children to conquer their fears and have the tough discussions. I imagine I'll do the same with my children, whenever I have them. When they get old enough, I'll take some books out from the library to help me with it. Schools don't always discuss all of the implications of sex, and that's where it's especially important for parents to take an active role in explaining what the standards of their house will be.

Exactly. Rose. I don't have children, myself. However, my sister's kids are still quite young, but are at the age where they are starting to ask questions about things. I've been caught more than once having to explain something of a sensitive nature to my five year old nephew in a way that he can understand, but yet, also try NOT to give him TMI. It's tough, because, he's a bright child and asks ALOT of questions. However, he's also immature (even for five), and isn't ready to handle some of the information given to him. I can tell this sometimes by the way I answer him. He'll have a questioning look on his face. Then, I'll reply something along the lines. "It's okay, honey. It's normal." Then, he's relieved and goes on his way.

Vamp, how do you know if family members can open the AD accounts on same email address/IP addy?

I understand your point, it s not that many people are doing that anyway. Also they could inform the moderator that you have more than two people who are using the same computer. However many of them are abused to use second or more nicknames to fool you. I am sorry I agree with Vamp because I know what I have seen it too much. Also I got their butts because they think we are being stupid not to see the truth. Well thats sad to see this happens because they ruin everything and hide themselves to cover up their arses to destroy good things which is totally wrong. It s very selfish and abusive from them.

I had other one SN in the past to prevent people bashed me but NO USE!. So heck with it. I am not afraid to confront anybody because I m not the kind of person who make the trouble for anybody. I m here to wake them up and stop hurting those d/Deaf children in many ways. However, I decided not to use it because it s not who I am. So I stick with my SN for many years. I want them to know me and have nothing to hide for who or what I am. I am proud of myself as being deaf and will always stand up for our d/Deaf children's rights with the bottom of my heart.

I dont think people is happy with muiltiply nicknames anywhere. Thanks!

Good Job! Vamp I am glad he did telling us about it because I know some people from the past did it too in other forum or deafchat. They hate my guts after I confronted them. So they stirred up more trouble for me all along that is a very cruel attitude and abusive from them. It is a proven that I know what I am talking about and told the truth. la la la, I am so glad I have the ability to be a very strong person and stand up what I strongly believe in our Deaf rights. I dont care what you think of me because you are no better than anybody else.



Have a good day!

Sweetmind

Just a side statement, connected to no individual or post, then I promise to get back on topic, OK?

My comments are my words only. I appreciate the comments of others, and I also like to show support for other members with similar viewpoints on topics. However, each person at AD should "THINK-SELF" and post accordingly.

Other members should not confuse statements of support with a surrendering of individual thought. It's not the same.

I certainly don't want anyone "following" me. I prefer that we march linked arm-in-arm together.

Now, anyone for a chorus of "Kumbaya"?

 

[Mookie]

I can assure you, I do NOT allow my children to come to AD, simply for the reason I have opened this thread.

How do you know? They easily have checked out in classrooms or in library or friends' computers at home. They may have asked their friends to print out hard copies or cut and paste on data memory sticks (USB Keys) and bring them to school.

Eve, don't you admit that you have learnt more terrible/nasty infomation from the media, library books, orally infomation from your brothers/sisters/cousins and your friends at school. You have learnt more out of the world than living under the roof of your folks. I am sure that your kids would not inquire you since they know that you only provide very limited info. They can easily obtain more inform from outside of the world...

Eve, if you do not like avatars, I strongly recommand you to visit the clean forum online websites. What's wrong with Disney forum? Don't you miss your AD friends with open-mind?

You knew that any kid can easily find any nasty comments/pix which is far worse than AD avatars. I strongly suggest you to STFU.

Reba! And, I'll join you in a slightly off-key chorus of "Kumbaya" IF you promise to provide me with the lyrics! It's been YEARS since I've sung that song!

I'm going to let Eve expound further on this later, but I can assure you her kids would NOT even DREAM of it.
