I don't really care about the thread in question one way or the other. However, I think a meaningful conversation can and should be had regarding avatars. Part of that obviously comes from closing an entire thread dedicated to posting pictures of women in various states of undress.
I personally don't appreciate seeing "sexy" avatars (both male and female) while I am scrolling through Flames news at work. That isn't something I can choose to avoid like I can by not clicking on a thread. I think by closing down YLYL the mods should also look at getting rid of sexy avatars as well if the goal is to clean up the board.
I am going to throw in a preamble stating that I understand and acknowledge the reason for closing the thread had more to do with the conversations that occurred around the images than the images themselves. That being said, if that thread has no value in creating a positive atmosphere here then what value does having sexy avatars add to CP? We've long ago banned sexy gifs from post game threads so why are sexy avatars still permitted?
I'd like to see them go and not because a thread was closed.
