New rule on avatars -- made unilaterally by Ben

by Ben Reilly Fri Aug 12, 2016 7:13 pm

Every once in a while I feel I need to do something on my own, if only to save the other admins any complaints. If you have a problem with this new rule, bring it to me and me alone.

Here's the new rule, which will be enforced immediately:

http://www.newsfixboard.com/h1-about-newsfix-who-we-are-the-rules wrote:... (A)vatars or signatures that contain images or text deemed to be offensive to any ethnic, religious or national group, or to people of any gender identity or sexual orientation, by the administrative team may be removed, and members may be subjected to any disciplinary action.

Yes it does slightly. All three of them need to resize their avis.

by Guest Sat Aug 13, 2016 9:57 pm

Please see the avatar thread as to why this is an admin problem, you cannot size when putting in avi urls. Night

And that was a 'fixed/default setting' that prevented what is happening to: Tommykins/Syl & Sassy's images and then it over rides into the posting area ???
Seem's something went array or you've acquired a 'GREMLIN' as well Suspect

Odd because the original size looked fine to me...now it looks tiny. Rolling Eyes

No, it's not abby-normal looking, but I'm on my tablet --- the images were really blowing up on my PC.
Freaky, made reading your posts very difficult

Aaaaaaan did any of us know that back then ??? Suspect

Were you expecting me to change my opinion of you based on that - NOT HARDLY! Razz

by Tommy Monk Sun Aug 14, 2016 1:28 pm

No... we didn't 'know' that Ben had changed the settings... but you automatically assumed that it was me that was the problem and hurled abuse at me for something that was not my fault!

Yet now you do know what the cause was... I still awaiting your apology...!?

Nobody answers the post rather than the poster, especially 4ever. Horatio made a good point, and I agree with her.

Rubbish. If you only answered the post we'd all sound like automatons. The whole point of a forum is interaction and chat, connecting with the poster or challenging the poster, having banter, having a laugh, being sympathetic, sharing, caring, and from time to time, clashing.
