I don't know if this counts as a valid complaint, but I find GotGusto's signature image to be very disturbing. It is owls eating rats, I believe. Does TERB have guidelines for this?

I feel like I have to brace myself for every thread I open in case that image is there.
 
Personally, I don't see an issue with the sig line, its not refering to illegal drugs, children etc. Would I put that in my sig line? No, but I will get feedback from other Mods to see thier reaction.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

A-MOD

Use Adblock in Firefox. It removes the image from view...:)
 
LOL they look creepy but I think they are adolescent owls that seem to be cornered, thats why the're sticking together and swinging. Imagine watching these guys on some orange sunshine.....:)
They look spacey. Ostriches look weird also close up....

which tab to get to it?

If you have it loaded you just left click over the image and adblock comes up at the bottom of the list. Click it and then the add filter tab. Voila no more image ever...:)

I guess you guys don't watch the Discovery Channel? lol


I am looking for a signature line or pic and I can not decide on what I want. I am curious why you would pick a signature picture such as this given the nature of this board. If you don't mind sharing you reason behind it.

As for it being removed, once you "vote" one person's signature removed, you open to door for it to happen to everyone. It is not animal cruelty. It is not illegal, underage kids, etc. as stated. It is not something I would pick either but it doesn't seem to be against the rules either.

Solutions? Some people enjoy looking at signature pics, therefore by disabling the feature it does mean losing the option of all because of one. Which is a choice that each person would have to make. I think ideally the better choice would be to just place GotGusto on ignore if his signature offends you so much. You don't lose out on other signatures, only his posts and therefore his signature as well.

Adblock in Firefox removes the image from your view without effecting any post or any other sig. pic. It only affects what you tell it to...:)

True dat, true dat
 
It's my opinion that this poster should receive a vacation because of the disgusting link he posted in the "what Iraq does to gays" thread.

I believe there no place for that here.

If Esco can get banned for posting the puppy/rooster video, this dude should go too.

Talk about irony. The guy with the word freedom in his handle wants to suppress someone's freedom of expression (LOL).

Nobody forced you to click it.
 
I haven't seen it.

Obviously many people are offended by Darwinism; the sole reason for an owl's existence is to devour small rodents. It cant be any worse than a snapping turtle eating a duckling.:D
