No sorry, you mentioned weapons as a reason for avatar banishment and blood and sex. I just couldn't figure out which one of those parador's avatar violated.
I guess it's the "family friendly" thing? Sounds pretty arbitrary.
No offense intended. Folks can run their sites however they like for sure.

They just now decided that your avatar was inappropriate?? I cant remember you ever using a different one. Sounds like you prob just pissed off a mod, so they using their authoritative powers to put you in your place. That sucks.

I like the South Park one but someone will prob complain about it. I just use one of the lame ones the site offers.

Strange decision to make you change after so long...it just wont seem like the same parador now :(

I like the new cartman pic but anyone who has watched southpark would know that Eric is way worse than satan. After all southpark is usally on the ball with current affairs and facts and they present satan as a soft hearted gay guy.

Odd decision indeed to make you change it.

Ever since I've been on these forums you've had that avatar, Parador. Changing it would be ..... :?

I would say keep the devil one. If a mod complains again, well then change it. But I think this site should allow you to keep the old one.

I'm using this Charlie C pic for a number of forums. If someone tells me to change, I'll definitely fight to try to keep it :x
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

So if a mod asked you to change your avatar, we will have to do something. Do you remember my e- mail? Can you send me the pic of the devil? I think I will have to change my avatar.
This is the WAR.

The new face of Parador.. It's not bad.
I don't think it's personal (I just think they're tightening the rules for some reason). I've had to change my avatar and username. I wasn't attached to either though.

I love Eric Cartman character. But, it's not a matter of whether we like it or not, it's a matter of letting people be what they aré or what they want to be.
I don't try to do a revolution. I guess it has to be a powerful reason to ask a member for changing the avatar or the nickname. What is it?

The only reason I've seen so far is that certain images and words are triggering.
My username had the word 'murder' in it. One of my old avatars looked like a zombie apparently.
Seemed fair enough. Can't say I'm really sure what's wrong with having Satan as an avatar, especially a funny one like Parador had. I'm sure they'd have no problem with having a Jesus or Buddha avatar. It's odd but, of the few things I care about, this is very far down the list.
