IBTL!!

This board is a privately owned and opperated and is going to be the way the admin and mod's want it to be.

Love it or leave it, that's just the way it is.

Also I don't understand why you'd even bother to make a thread about it.(This is not a democracy with a majority vote deciding on the fate of your teddy.)

If they said it was okay last week and it isn't today, suck it up and get used to it.

OR

Make your own privately owned site and use whatever avatar you wish.

Sorry to sound so harsh, but that's just the way it is.

Edit:
The teddy makes me laugh, but might not be funny to everyone.

I say just suck it up and change it. There are many things in our society that we don't like but that's the way it is. It's like at my work we are not aloud radios(on a construction site!) I think it's absolutely ridiculous but I abide by the rule because I would rather keep my job but hey it's your choice.

We should ban all avatars!! I don't like Boston or the Redsox much.

Imagine that,someone throwing a cheap shot at an unpaid mod/babysitter

And as for the board..the simple fact is the board is a priviledge you either accept or refuse.It has rules we either choose to abide to,or not.Your call,but this is a pretty cool board,with a bunch of cool people..hope you weigh out the pros and cons and decide its worth it to stay.

What doesn't offend one person may offend someone else. What is the point in debating whether your avatar "IS" offensive? Someone asked you to change it, maybe out of consideration (rather then having to be told to do it) you would just change it and move on...

But whatever, I guess it is your call, stay on this FREE board full of great resources or keep the bear picture.

Damn.

Sorry to see you go Willow. Love the bear. It also took me over a month to notice what it was up to. PC wins again.

the point of this thread was not to start an open debate on my avatar but to say ive been told im going to be banned and here is the reason. ive told troy i don't want to change my avatar as i don't see it as being offensive/disrepectful/racist/sexual. i am fully aware this is a private community and it's a privalage to be a part of it. i also posted this in the vancouver forum and not in the lounge.

Well I guess it comes down to one thing.

This is Titus' board. He set out the rules and has people like Troy here keeping it in order.

You have been asked to change it, and IMO IME what the staff/owner of a board decide is what the people using the resource have to follow. Easy as that. By registering your name on here you agreed to follow the rules as set out by Titus. This is a private forum as you have said. So where do you feel that gives you the right to tell a staff member to pound sand and not follow his direction?

All I see of all of this is that you are aiming to get as much drama going as possible and for what? Organise a coup d'etat? An uprising? Oh I know. A rebellion

All you are succeeding in doing is making yourself out to be a martyr in such as way as to detract from what this forum is for. Reefkeeping.

Very cool! Keep up the good work!

As for the people trying to encourage him

A thumbsup to you too..

Hey Darren, how's things? I hear you might be coming back this side?
