I am getting increasingly frustrated at the adult nature of some forum avatars - particularly photos of ladies. Considering they're supposed to be non-adult in nature, some are sailing a little close to the wind for my liking. I often peruse the forums during the day, when my kids are about, and have to close my window frequently. I'm not a prude, and also enjoy viewing the gallery at appropriate times. Some of the worst offenders are those that have said in the past that they change their avatars according to whether kids are on school holiday and consequently peering over shoulders. I appreciate that tits and bums are not strictly on the banned list but I would prefer that they were to be honest. Is it just me?
Personally, I would prefer to see avatars without tits and ass but in general, if it can appear on page three of the Sun, its deemed acceptable :thumbup:
Nah disagree, its an adult swinging site I wouldent suggest reading it with the kids about. I do but thats my choice and I too have to move the page down or minimize the window from time to time. I thought the rule on cock shots in avatars was just to prevent 100 avatars all looking the same lol Think avatars should reflect the sites nature and of course they can also at times provoke interest too :grin:

agreed
i close page down when kids are about anyhoo not cause of avatars but cause they could read the swinging heaven bit at the top don't want questions asked
I agree with all the posters who have said this is an adult site. Besides, the pictures have been approved by admin so if they don't have an issue with it....
To be honest, I wouldn't dream of looking at this site if a child was likely to be looking over my shoulder. I have a 4 year old sat right in front of me now, but as soon as she moves - that's me outta here! Depending on their age, it's not just the pictures that could cause an issue. Words tend to jump out of a screen.
Imagine on the next school run.
"mummy, what's a cumslut" :-o
OK, maybe i'm going to extremes there, but if you don't want your kids viewing pictures of an adult nature - then don't peruse the sites whilst they're around. And don't make the rest of us feel like we're doing something wrong when we're not!

I draw the line at getting my moobs out.
I'm not arsed really. I go on the site when my kids are at home but it is minimised if they come in the room cos theyre far too nosey. Wouldnt change mine to tits or arse though.
I like adult-natured avatars!

No offence meant but it's an adult site for gowd sake dunno

Its not about being an adult site, its just about the fact I don't need to see cock and pussy all the time. It makes a nice change not to see it :lol2:
As for using this place when the kids are around, yes but I sit up the corner of the room where they can't see my screen. I would never risk them seeing the webpage, with or without mucky avatars :thumbup:
It's not because of what the kids could see if they looked over your shoulder (why are they looking over your shoulder when they could so easily be locked in a cupboard? dunno ) but more that the content of the forums is open to "the public". Remember that "the public", in terms of the internet, is mostly under 16 years old! ;-)

Do you not have to be a member then to go in the forum?

I'm sorry for going completely off subject here, but we have just been onto the site without logging on to see what you can see.
Every forum post, some gallery pics, all the photo ads ...... Am I the only one who finds this a little disturbing?? I thought you had to at least join (not necessarily a paying member) to view these things.
I'm sure I've seen names of hotels, etc where people are wanting to meet in the lets meet up section.
I've been on here for over a year and didnt know this so how many others dont? Would people be so open about their movements if they knew that absolutely anyone can see? Not to mention the people who have their faces as avatars and profile pics which can be seen in the photo and quickie ads!
Am I going a bit over the top??
Nope... that's why I took my pics off my profile to be honest. I don't like the idea that they were put straight into the gallery without being given a choice. The gallery rotates and is viewable to non-members. I was happy with my pics being in my profile because you have to be a member to see those.
And I've had my arse as my avatar pretty much since I got here. It's an adult site and whilst I wouldn't appreciate genitals in avatars, I think we can afford to have naughty pics that are in the realms of tasteful. :mrgreen:

I dont mind my pics being public as all of our face pics are private and I dont think you could really recognise us in any of the public ones. Not sure everyone is aware that everyone on the web can see their face pics that they have publicly on their profile or on their avatars.
Surely all these things should only be viewable by members. Its more the knowing where people are going to be in the lets meet up forum that worries me.
Can we not have privacy settings like on facebook where you get a choice of what can be seen? Or if we already do then it would be nice to know.

Non members being able to view things does not particularly bother me. I have kept any pictures that could identify us private so I dont really care who sees the ones that dont identify us. Random person who signed up for a free account or random person surfing by, makes little difference to me I know neither of them and they dont know who we are.
In case anyone asks we currently have no pictures up as I went to sleep drunk and left the PC on the site when "others" were in the house. One used the PC next morning we found a new tab open. So just in case they clocked the site and noted anything have removed all trace of any firm evidence. Yeh they could guess its us but they wouldent be able to prove it lol

Oops!! :lol:
Funlovers...Yes, the public reading of this site means that anyone could take anything you type/post/publish/upload and put it anywhere... if it weren't for copyright laws of course, but some would rather not have to 'out' themselves in public. Down to personal choice. With the location thing... I was under the impression that anything in the Lets Meet Up should not have a location on it and should be reported to Admin or a Moderator for editing. I've seen a few people slip up with locations of venues for things in the past and it's been a ball ache and a half for the organiser if it's not removed quickly.
There is a 'Privacy Is Paramount' point of view which is usually expressed towards Admin in lengthy threads every time they introduce a new function. Annonmninnintittitiyiyyy (privacy ;) ) is important to some and should be respected. Thankfully, Admin seem to be listening to the members a bit more and introducing new features set to automatic 'off' rather than having to hunt through it all and actively turn things off yourself, which can be complicated!
There should be options for setting in your profile page/settings page thingiemebob. All else fails, select private and make them beg! ;) lol
Tweeky... I thought that is the point, because the avatars have to be something other than gentials (i.e. penis/ vulva/ anus) is a relief not to have to look at them all the time! On some other sites they are allowed and every other post is accompanied by some of the scabbiest looking meat rods and kebabwagons I've ever had the misfortune to lay type near to! :lol:
Personally, I quite like the range of avatars in here. The more risky ones don't float my boat no more nor less than something that tells me about the person, something amusing or something they think represents who they are. Some of the more racey ones don't do anything for me, especially when it is next to a diatribe or verbal diarrhoea!
kiss LG. x

:giggle:
I love not having to look at genitals every time I log into the forums and much prefer that these are not allowed as avatars. As Gem ang others have mentioned, there are some sites that just allow anything to be used and it can a bit too much in your face trying to reply to a serious post when you got 9 inches of rock hard, seriously sticky, man (ok, make it five inches) and its even worse if it is the female equivalent wink
I like the nice suggestive avatars, the ones which make me want to go and have a look at the profile, the ones which tempt me in (and I am saying no more on that) :twisted:
As for non-members being able to see photos/formums/adverts etc, if I remember rightly, the first couple of pages of the Gallery are visible to non-members but these are only the photo which have been rated as 'Non-Adult' i.e. page 3 style photo's, and which have not been rated private by the user.
The forums and avatars have always been visible to anyone and this includes any face, gential or other photos you have used as an avatar. However, signatures are not visible.
The photo ads are visible to anyone but again, adult photos on any adverts are not visible to non-members or to anyone who is not a full member of the site. I cant remember if all photos are actually hidden or if it is just the adult ones but will go and perve, I mean check, and come back with an answer :wink:
Hope that helps and really do hope I have remembered this right :wink:

Oh yeah, knew I had to do something, Your post just reminded me to check this out lol If you go into photo ads are not a full member of the site, or you are not logged into your profile, you can see photos which are the 'Profile' photo (which should always be non-adult) and you can see any on the advert itself which are categorised as non-adlut.
Hope that helps and now off to check a few more pics our :twisted: (research purposes, honest) wink
I think as it's an adult site then page 3 strength avatars are fine.
To save accidents, like any adult site, it should be viewed when kids are not about, like school time, night time, in the bedroom and so on.
