*Raises hand* I have a question...

Why does fa require avatars to be 'work safe' now? I don't know about many of you all, but personally, FA isn't something that should be viewed at the 'standard workplace' anyway, so why are we attempting to make it passable to be viewable in such a place. The content itself is what makes FA nsfw, not the avatars. Sure, they can chooooose to only view works that are safe for work, but then there will inevitably still be comments that are somehow sexual in nature. Why try to put a mask over the face of the community? We are who we are and changing the avatars isn't going to make the community more acceptable outside of the community. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but it seems like another pointless rule that must be obeyed 'or else...'

It's because avatars can be seen by everyone, including minors with the mature filter on. This can get FA itself in some serious legal issues if some idiot decides to take it to court or something. FA requires you to be 18 to view the porn stuff, even though it's still displayed as thumbnails on the front page and in comments. Honestly they should just make it so that minors can't see mature avatars or something.

That'd be hard to code. Considering (and i know, there is a LOT of good, clean art on here) the large amount of porn that's accessable on the site, they should probably make it 18+ to join. I mean, turning off the adult filter on this site isn't that hard anyway, so it's not like they're really doing all that much to prevent the kids from seeing something that they legally shouldn't.

It's easy to make a new account anyways and put your birthday as somewhere in the 70s or something. I do agree on the 18+ part, but then again there are other websites that have just porn that aren't a networking site like FA is

true enough. it is nice to kinda have a networking site, rather than just a porn site. even if that is what most of us use it as lol

That'd be some pretty rough coding too >_>
