I'd just like to say thanks to TracesofReality. My father works at an army fort. I went on one of his computers with his permission, to check Hala for messages. Naturally, the army's computer scanning system, picked up her wonderful avatars, and now deems Hala "unfit/distasteful/pornographic" and is now blocked. Thanks Traces!

Charlie

P.S. My father was able to explain the site being on his computer as my fault, as he has some pull at the Fort. So, Dad's job is doing just fine, but I can't access Hala from his work any longer.

P.S.S. Wanna show Hala your breasts? Do it on a private level, and quit putting that trash on our forums.

The modern battlefield, where swearing and nudity is bad

Gay or not, the United States Army has decided Hala Forums is not fit for viewing on their computers due to the avatars.

Heh, Charlie. You know I'm with you at all times, but I don't think your post is reasonable. If you did need to say what you said, pm it to Traces. Don't make it public. It's unfortunate that the forum's website was blocked, but obviously that wasn't Traces' intent. If you are actually upset at her for being a bit revealing in her avatars, then you have a legitimate complaint, and I would hope she'd change her avatar to make everyone happy. But if you're upset because the website was banned because the US Army has unreasonable regulations, then you might want to backpeddle a bit with what you said.

P.S.: Why didn't I post this instead of pming Charlie? In case people think I'm wrong in this and want to correct me.

Thank you Arkon. Thank you NWDune.

Charlie

P.S. I personally see nothing wrong with the United States Armed Forces policy. It is not just a man only army. WOMEN and men alike are putting their life on the line. This is one of the reasons the Armed Forces has the policy it does. As for the avatars, I said nothing, as I didn't want to irritate anyone, but when their actions make something that should be viewable from anywhere not viewable from anywhere, then their actions are cutting into MY freedoms. At that point, I do have a problem with it.

Charlie,
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Traces avatar. I've seen more nudity in a Sears catalog or a Victoria's Secret catalog. A swimsuit top is more revealing. Please stop making YOUR issue of using a military based computer OUR problem. You can always switch to EOS expanded and it does not show avatars. YOU need to take responsibility for your own actions. I for one think this new policy, which I have not read, is bullshit and a un-necessary restriction due to a couple uptight assmunches who can kiss my fucking ass.

Us "uptight assmunches" asked about EOS expanded. It doesn't seem to be an option.

We are not a pornographiv website. As such we have people who watch these forums from around the world. Adults and kids alike.

If you want to look at peoples asses and breasts, then find a catalog, a porn site, or PM someone who would be willing to send you pictures.

But please have a little respect for other people.

Idonia · Post by **Idonia** » Sat Feb 04, 2006 6:57 pm

Sears catalogs have exposed women/men in them because they're models trying to advertise a product and show how it will look on a woman/man. As far as I can see Traces is not modeling merchandise for a company and getting paid. So she's basically just showing soft porn pictures of herself, which could be very offensive or annoying to anyone looking at these forums. I am so glad Arkon has ruled it out.

And I don't know about everyone else, but I can not switch my forum layout to EOS expanded like on Avlis. There's only SubSilver.

Edit: Argh, Dragons beat me to the EOS expanded part! ;P

So women walking down a beach in a swimsuit are "showing soft porn" pictures of themselves?

Lunacy I tell ya, Lunacy.

This is MY Policy. Written BY me. I was going to put it in a while back. Ask Tholoth about my conversation with him regarding his avatars. If you don't like this policy.. well you know my response to that, don't you.

So if you want to be pissed off at the uptight assmunch who did this. Be pissed at me.
