| | Posted: | | | | The avatar was removed by a forum admin at the request of another user. The admin felt it was perceived as an attack on that user.
I think it's clear the avatar is targeted at a particular user, but I don't feel it meets the criteria for personal attack and so I've reinstated the avatar.
On a separate note, let's clear up the timeline a bit on the topic at hand. We made a ruling on May 12th that said we would begin considering it a rule violation to bring vote conflicts to the forum. On the first violation of this, we decided to issue a warning. | | | | Invelos Software, Inc. Representative |

| | Posted: | | | | The avatar was a picture of Walt Disney with a hat on and flag in the background. I believe the flag and hat were representative of the Soviet Union.
If I am banned for this posting, so be it.

What surprised me was no action was taken for the outright defiance that followed...at least no visible action was taken. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

| | Posted: | | | | I won't say that I like your avatar, the truth is I don't, but to have it forcibly removed I found quite disturbing. I do request that no one else change theirs because I won't know who is who! Edit: I see I'm too late - Antares has succumbed to the dark side! | | | | Last edited: by Kathy |

The thread was locked and the user warned. I'm not sure where the impression was given that an immediate ban would be given - a warning was appropriate in this case. If the problem is repeated, it will be dealt with.
The original message was left unedited so that others could see what the offending post was. In cases of name calling or other direct attacks, we generally prefer to remove the language but in this case felt it would be beneficial overall to leave it and instead warn the user and lock the thread. 1. Thanks for telling us. 2. It's completely ridiculous that we weren't notified of this sooner. If a message that is breaking the rules is allowed to remain, there should be a moderator note left on that posting notifying everyone why that comment is left. Otherwise it will only signal that that kind of posting is acceptable. | | | Tags, tags, bo bags, banana fana fo fags, mi my mo mags, TAGS!
