who wants puro's avatar back???

[Foxbat]

See, now SatelliteGAL has relented to the PC-Police and given us a happy pussycat instead of the abused kitty... Happy?

I often read this forum while in a work setting and wouldn't want to have to respond to my boss (or anyone else) if questioned about that avatar and what kind of site I was reading.

As a boss, I would rather you explain why you were scanning the net and SatGuys on the company dime & time and not working.

Since there's not an adequate poll choice - No, it wasn't appropriate for this site and shouldn't be brought back.

I agree on both your points. The poll was useless cause it provided nothing but fodder.

I too browse from work and I don't know of one employee with web access that doesn't do a little personal browsing. The again, I run the IT dept for my location of my company and I know every single one of our employees at my site does personal browsing.

Oh man, satellitegal changed her avatar. The kitty is free to see the world!

Lol

AGREED; BUT why should YOU decide who, what, where, when and how for anyone but YOURSELF? If you need to censor, censor your PC, your family, not everyone else's; IMHO.



AMEN! The way it should be.

charper,


the thing that scalleds me, she became a member just to complain,,,,

no one on here BITCHED, NO ONE EVEN mentioned it.

she drew attention to it ,, as all activists do...


dont want to see it , dont COME on to the site.

Well as long as there in no nudity I dont have a problem. It not like she's got her tongue sticking out between her breasts. Like I said before if its questionable to some just uncheck the avatar box so your kids or bosses don't see it. But thats just my opinion. Just like your TV, if you dont like to see some things you can lock out certain channels or ratings.

 

[charper1]

Argh!

I said in a "work setting" which is on breaks, on a lunch break, or as part of my job which includes web searches on various subjects--including technology.

yes, please post the company whos money you are wasting, please??!!

 

[Charise]

Can't believe how fast responses are tonight! This must be a dull night!

 

[SatinKzo]

Not following you on this?
Wasting money? Not sure why you say that? All I said was I know every employee does personal browsing whether it be hotmail/yahoo etc or just plain old CNN.

The compnay does not have a problem with it as long as work is completed on time. No slave drivers at my worksite and the workforce is very productive and happy because of it. I would say managers that have nothing better to do then micro manage every employee and their time are the money wasters.

As for the company name, no I won't post it. but I will say that pretty much everyone on this board has probably bought something that my company made.

HE HE I love semantics. It STILL the company DIME. Any IT department worth their pay will have anything that IS offensive, any adult site blacklisted.

That avatar is/was so non-offensive this thread grows even funnier, now we have switched gears trying to use WORK as an excuse.

Your non-work network traffic DOES cost the company. Just because your company has YET to join the trend of killing personal access, means nothing. This net access is slowing going the same way personal phone calls did. OUT THE DOOR because of abuse.

AMEN! The way it should be.

For the record, I have no desire to dictate who, what, where, when, or how you should conduct your life. In addition, I had no idea that there was any way to have an avatar pulled. I was just expressing my opinion because it was important to me. I apologize if you believed I was trying to "bully" anyone. If my wording was strong, it is because I have firm convictions on certain issues.

I do believe that everyone should consider how their actions affect minors. As adults, we have the rights to do a lot of things but we might act differently if a minor were in the room with us. My initial point was that this site is viewed by minors and the photos were questionable. If they were not, this thread would not have generated many replies.

.

yep, our blacklist is ridiculously long. We have now outsourced the maint on it as it was insane to keep on top of.

Hmm, Maybe I'll add dbstalk to it

See that will never happen at most companies cause the biggest abusers are management.

The company is very proactive in net use. The only people with net access are salary and they all have to work weekends on a regular basis with no overtime, so one of the perks is they get some internet access.

yes, we all sign a waiver on abusing the policy/priveledge. 1st offense warning, 2nd offense gone. No time limit on offenses, can be years apart. The workforce itself polices itself well too.

There are other sites in the company that have absolutely no internet access except work related sites. They abused and lost the priv.

Btw, my company doesn't follow trends!

dont want to see it , dont COME on to the site.

Uh, the last I checked, this was SatelliteGuys.US. It is a great source of information about Satellite TV and radio. I would not expect to find questionable material on this site, and since I didn't see the original thread, I can't comment on the poster's frame of mind. However, would you listen to Howard Stern to find out what Sunday's sermon was? No. Likewise, I think it isn't unreasonable for a neophyte to come to SatelliteGuys.US looking for information about Dish & DirecTV and not be exposed to "pornography".

As Scott has mentioned, he thinks we should keep the site "clean" and the Pub Members have their options as well. I'd hate to see it come down to adding to the Site Guidelines and forbidding certain avatars since down that path lies DBStalk (oh, did I say something bad?)

(Oh, okay, someone mentioned TOS before I did... heh-heh)

The majority of replies are AGAINST your view. We agree you have the right to YOUR views, and agree some things are not for minors, but this is not one of them AND you have the way to adjust YOUR PC to kill the view (as I read it) so adjust YOUR side. This stance has come across as someone that wants the entire world to change everything to meet her views regardless.

yes, charper, the kids may one day ........DRINK....................or have relations with the opposite sex.....and actually think they are (gasp) HOT

Yes, but hopefully they will be over 16 and they will be able to make responsible choices by realizing the consequences. As an adult, you look at these photos from a different perspective than from an adolescent.

I hope that sex is with someone who is hot - who would want it any other way?????

We all agree BUT there was NO ADULT photo or pornography. This is another blatant exaggeration.

That is what makes this so funny. You didn't see anything but yet you still say pornography.
