Is this profiling?
If we enable profile pictures here?
Okay. There is no if. We are going to enable profile pictures here.
My question is, do we really need any rules? Will common sense prevail? Do we really need to state no sexually explicit or graphic pictures or things like that? Don't we have enough 'rules' here?There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

Maybe just state "Your avatar is subject to the signature and advertising rules of this forum."
Does that mean signature pictures could happen someday?If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

I think rules are necessary. Profile pic is no different from custom title or sig in that there needs to be boundaries set. I don't think it's an issue of common sense, but simply there are plenty of forums that allow all sorts of things in pictures, and if it isn't explicitly outlined who's to say WHT is any different.

Promotion is alright. It is there other pictures that may be unsuitable for civilized public. I worry about the common sense of members sometimes. We have had a few wildcards that might use this chance to post something inappropriate. So maybe some general guidelines covering illegal and inappropriate material.

You'll have to do it, or you could just saying 'use common sense'. And when they don't, ban them!
Muhahaha.
