There have been some concerns expressed about my completely nude avatar picture (not really) and so I am explaining our policy for avatar pictures.
If you have a picture of an animal it should be dressed at it would publicly dress at a zoo, dog show, horse race or other public event.
Same is true of human pictures. It should be something that you would wear out in public.
In addition, all avatars should be non hostile and not infringe knowingly on any trademark or protected content.
Avatars should not offend people based on anything including race, ethnicity, religion, nation, political views, culture, etc. If you need to ask about it, it's not OK.
Obviously, all content should be something acceptable for people 7+ and this should take into account different cultures, countries, and religions. People also need to be respectful to each other and their avatars. But, like, within reason. It's not offensive to have a globe because someone else might think the earth is flat and there's nothing wrong with a piece of cheese just because someone else might be a vegan. What would be offensive would be an avatar of people falling off a flat earth along with the words "anyone not smart enough to realize the earth isn't flat isn't smart enough to avoid falling off it."
If you have any questions, don't do anything questionable. Thanks
