We here at the DMF, in an attempt to make sure that the DMF remains a work-safe board, have always had a policy of not allowing NSFW photos
And by and large this policy has worked out well for our members. Folks have done a great job keeping to the guidelines that the DMF should be able to be up on a screen in anyone's office and not get them in trouble for anything other than wasting time.
However, lately we've been getting complaints about people's avatar pictures.
This hasn't been an area where we've been enforcing the "Members shall not post images or links containing, nudity, partial nudity, sexual acts, or depiction thereof. This includes pictures for purely sexual purposes." rule, but unfortunately it's become a problem.
So in the interests of keeping the board SFW, we ask that any folks who's avatars fit into the above category please change them to something "work appropriate."
We also realize folks don't log on every day so there will be a grace period before we go in and manually remove them.
Thanks for understanding, and thanks for keeping the DMF available as a invaluable time sink for those of us with internet access at work [thumbsup]
~The Mods
I totally understand, but I don't access DMF at work...
- so, can I please be allowed to watch? Some of those pictures are really stunning.
;D ;D ;D
Even at work, i was enjoying those avatars...
Nevertheless, good call mods.
I apologize to anyone I may have offended with my avatars. d

FTR, you avatars never offended me, but I felt like I should have been offended. Does that make me a bad person? ;)

I agree, I looked forward everyday to seeing your new pic, not reading about motorcycle junk [evil]...is that wrong?
Seriously though, I agree, this is a good call. I've seen a few that I thought were over the line.

OK, I agree with all you guys, but, kopfjäger's avatars are nothing compared to some I've seen...
So it's true, the just pay for the sinners sins...

Dammit! Your avatars were nice little nuggets of awsomeness on this site. They will be missed :'(

Hi Jukie ;D
How funny - I was just over at the R1-Forum and the avatars there make the avatars here (even the ones that caused this change) look like a G movie.
I'm cool w/the change none the less. [moto]

FTR, I liked your avatars and don't think they crossed the line, but that's not my call. I still think you should post a link to a web page with hi-res versions of the collection.

I second this
Dammit. And I was just about to post my new Avatar of Lara Bingle.
I like kopfjager's avatars, I've even told him so.
Aside from that, I really don't care that much. Either way, I'll probably still haunt around this forum.
Jesus Cristo. They will be missed by this adult browser. My avatar is now nanny safe.......

Want me to smack him for you? ;D
man...I saw the subject header news flash I thought there was some rampant action by scantily clad tall blue people on the board for a moment...
and yes...I agree with wanting a link to kopfjager's files as I loved his avatars also!
Oh well its not like there aren't other places on the internet I can't get my almost nekkid lady fix. But those tiny little pictures were considered offensive? Don't go outside then. Especially in big cities. Ever seen the ads for Abercrombie or American Apparel?

... and suddenly the R1 Forum received an unexplained spike in traffic from Ducati owners.

I am sure there were many who opened random threads of little or no interest to them ... just because they had noticed you had posted in them :'(

Note to Mods:
Where you have posted the 'New Avatar Policy' is hidden if you shrink the header. I had to be informed by the Boss ... so there may be many who don't see it.
If only there was a clever way to switch off avatars like you can the header, everyone would be happy [cheeky]
Bugger. I just realised that my avatar contains a whole lot of nakedness :o

We're sort of counting on the members to spread the word. Also, it's not like we have a deadline so if it takes a while for the word to get out, that's fine.

We actually discussed this as the ideal solution. Unfortunately, there isn't :-\
but, we can still post pics of our naked bikes, can we?

You can do that yourself, in your profile.

I can see it now...there will be a next picture by kopfjager of JUST lingerie on a hanger or something...
It's not a matter of being offended.
I like semi-naked/semi-clothed girls as much as the next guy. I'd even go so far as to say I love semi-naked/semi-clothed girls, but if that was on my screen at work, it'd be a quick trip to HR and a ding on my performance review for violating company electronic communication policy, AT BEST. At worst, It'd be a cardboard box full of my personal stuff and trying to explain to my family why I got fired for looking at a 90 pix by 90 pix picture of a half-clothed model.
Also for the record, I did not complain about it, I just don't browse from work.
