Does that mean I can set a pair of boobs as my avatar, or perhaps a large penis, or other uncovered genitalia?

So you're not honest at any other time?
Pornographic avatars (i.e. those involving nudity) are not allowed. So no bare breasts or other genitalia. If you wouldn't post it in the forum, don't use it as an avatar.

Does that mean I can go around posting that picture whenever I please, assuming that I don't highjack the thread, or go off topic?

I'd say a pornography ban should be an extreme gore/violence ban as well.
Wouldn't that count as pornography as well? I mean, it IS somebodies... naughty bits... Though, I must say, it's extreme gore/violence before it's pornography.

if flame subforum exists then i don't see why that avatar or any other avatars that contain violence or pornography shouldn't be allowed.
there are lots of young kids on CC that can much more easily be influenced by the flame forums than some guy's avatar.
i've seen people that have 90% of their posts in the flames. people that probably are too young to be allowed to use that kind of language in real life but find that section as a heaven where they can act like idiot and curse all they want. that does a lot more damage to a kids brain than a gross image he can easily find with a google search.

some people like to shock in a bad manner (violence, porn, explicit language). the reasons are very numerous and range frustration to low self esteem, from abuse as a child to pure meanness. and the internet provides a perfect place for them to do it. would diehumanitydie name his child like that? of course not. would he wear a t-shirt with that avatar imprinted. again a big no. would the users in the flame forum curse people in real life like that? another big no. the reasons why they wouldn't do that are simple. common sense or fear from parents or fear of getting a punch in the face.
so as long as CC encourages this kind of behavior (simply permitting it is an encouragement) people will do it. delete flame forum and start banning people with offensive avatars names signatures and people that curse and we'll have a better community.
but as long as flame forum is permitted i don't think diehumanitydie should be banned or warned. he simply puts a graphic example of what is spoken in flames.

I'd much rather look at boobs than that picture of someones head being half off... from my own point of view i don't want to be forced to look at that rather unpleasant picture.
Breasts on the other hand are natural (outside of California), beautiful and lest we forget, a great way to feed kids!
The more we hide them, the more young adolescents will want to see them and be confused by the suggestion of a nipple or the hint of a cleavage!
so i say everyone should get a pair on display for the good of young boys everywhere!

hmm i know what you mean DiM.. but i have just checked and DHD has never actually posted in the Flame Forum. (only once in any other Forum)
I honestly don't think that most of the blatant nonsense in Flame Wars is anywhere near as offensive as using an image of someones brain hanging out. (half a head blown off or whatever the harrowing image depicts).. this uses someones genuine death or serious maiming for some sort of entertainment. It is a different level altogether to the inane verbal jousting which most members do accept on face value.
