Default Question regarding offensive material

In the rules, it mentions "You may post non-offensive text in your signature"

Which means you may not post offensive text, yet a member here has an avatar of himself flipping the middle finger at the camera. Is that not the same as typing the words "F*** Y**!" in the sig?

I don't find it acceptable or non offensive and I do not want my 12 year old son to have to see it when reading threads.

See it here:

It is still offensive. It still violates the terms and conditions of the forum.
Profanity in picture form is no less wrong than typing the words.

I see no problem with the avatar.

And I have to agree, kids shouldn't have unmitigated access to the internet. This is a discussion forum made up of and intended for adults.

I'd be more concerned with him reading the sports section of the newspaper. It's all to apparent that there's an epidemic of men no longer able to have sex.
