    There seems to be a lot of bitching going on around here lately, and I hate to add to it. But what's up with this new pseudo-nazi mod avatar?

    I sort of understand the idea of making it easier to know who's a mod, but it limits the mods individuality. And I can no longer tell at a glance who's who. Not to mention that the pseudo-nazi imagery might tend to set the wrong tone.

    Perhaps the mods could keep the picture of their choice and just have "mod" below the picture?

    Mad you missed the point, its OUR protest against certian members.

    If people want to winge about yoda sticking his finger up or bells bending over then we will show you all exactly what it is going to be like if we all look the same

    Viva la revolution

    (have a look at plazma's poll on wether we should ban avatars)

    Ah, I see. Well, I hope your protest is brief. When I first saw the double hammer's as Tiassa's avatar, I thought it was pretty cool. I've always been a pink floyd fan, and it reminds me of an old flame from high school who painted a picture of the scene with the marching hammers in The Wall. But then I saw that all the mods had it, and was a bit annoyed.

    To be honest you have no idea how hard the mod section is to read at the moment

    I think it's fitting. Good job, mods.

    On the contrary. A member has filed a complaint about Asguard's and my respective avatars, claiming both to be obscene and offensive. We could either have ignored her complaints or acted on it. As you can see, we decided to act on it.

    The reason behind our change of avatars can be found here:

    http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=77952

    and here:

    http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=77872

    It seems the complaint about our respective avatars has come about as a manner to get even for banning sandy for one day for not heeding previous warnings. So enjoy our monotony and enjoy now having trouble distinguishing who is who.

    Wasn't your avatar some kind of mushroom or bell or something? I really don't remember? I sure don't remember being offended by it, but then I'm pretty hard to offend. Anyway, Sandy PM'd me to say she's out of here, so no need to teach her a lesson.

    Me too. I guess I never looked at it that closely, I assumed it was a bell because of her name.

    It wasn't sandy who complained about our avatars. The complaint came as a result of sandy being banned for one day. Apparently it was a means of getting even because of her ban.

    Apparently a cartoon of an orange backside bending down with his pants down is highly offensive and obscene.

    It's just our little joke.

    We think it is fitting, since there are some members who seem to think that all the moderators are pseudo-Nazi fascists anyway. We're giving them what they want - with a little tongue in cheek.

    But we're not individuals. We're all just part of the moderation machine which rules sciforums with an iron fist! Apparently.

    We tried friendly and approachable, and look how that went!

    Give it time. We'll have had our fun.

    That pic freaks me out. I don't like hammers like that, and absolutely not in connection with those colours.
