Posting guidelines updated : Avatar usage

Good morning,

Based on several complaints that we have received recently, the Posting Guidelines (available via the menu at left) have been revised to include the following which will take effect immediately.  Check your avatar.  If it falls within the following, change it.  

Regarding the use of Avatars.
The use of avatars is intended to allow people to express a little about themselves. We reserve the right to remove avatars of a questionable nature, such as those containing "near nudity", cleavage, or other matter which is of a potentially offensive nature. Please remember that to the users of this site, Amiga.org is considered to be family-friendly. Anything less results is us being banned at workplaces, public access points and other areas.

Sorry guys, based on the complaints that I'm hearing, my sense of humor is somewhat quelled on this matter.  If your avatar is sexually explicit, please change it.
