[Vote] Pictures of yourself in avatars & signatures

[Chris]

This poll is based on feedback from this thread and we now want to know whether you would like images of yourselves to be allowed in your avatars and signatures. This is the current rule regarding images of yourself on the forum:

A5. Do not post private details or information ~ We do not allow you to post private information about yourself due to security concerns. Disclosing any information about another forum user without their consent is also not allowed. This includes:
Private messages
Forum ban reasons/dismissal reasons
Reputation comments
Private conversations (MSN, Habbo, etc.)
Images / videos of the user or links to a page where an image/video of another user is located (this includes social networking sites, facebook, myspace etc)
Trying to organize real life meet-ups
It is also not allowed to give out the personal details (specific address, phone number etc) of anyone, forum user or otherwise.

You are, however, allowed to post pictures of yourself and use them as your profile picture, although they are not allowed in your avatar or signature. You may also share your email address and social networking profiles on the forum.

The part in bold is what we are looking to possibly change. Please submit your feedback by voting in the poll and feel free to post your reasons as a reply. The poll will remain open for one week and will close on the 21st May at 9PM.

Happy voting!

Don't see why not if they're allowed in avatars

[Martin]

I've voted for "I want images of myself to be allowed" even though I don't mean me personally, that would blow up the forum and I wouldnt wish those images on anyone LOL


I think its fine having them in avatars

[Zelda]

I would like people to be able to have them in their avatars definitely so I voted for that, though like martin I would never stick myself in it LMFAO

I presume that you've set it up so results are shown when the poll closes

[Adam]

I don't think the questions are phrased correctly because I, myself, wouldn't have a photo of me in my profile however I wouldn't be against other people having their photos in their profile.

Also why are votes hidden?

Correct

Changed the poll options slightly. Votes are hidden so that people don't just vote for whatever seems the most popular.

Yeah why not

[Lee]

I dont think you should be able to steal a picture of somebody else and use that but a picture of yourself, sure.

[Samantha]

I voted no as I like being different from the other fansites and it looks appalling when they have themselves on there, mainly due to no size restrictions, but it's not like they could fit a full picture in our avatar sizes so I don't mind either way.

I think more could be done as opposed to changing a rule slightly, also I agree with Adam about the answers, you could just have 'Should we allow pictures of members in their avatar or signature' yes, no, not fussed . However, I don't mind the outcome much.
