The hitched admin have requested I change my avatar as it breaks the 'swearing' rules.

1: Is anyone here offended by my avatar?

2: Are we not all grown adults who are entitled to use any language we care to, without being forced to moderate it?

3: Should I change it?

    Not offended in the slightest. Would be highly offended if they blocked you though.

    1. Nope, not in the least

    2. Yes in life, but no on a website with rules that state it's not allowed. Sorry to be a spoilsport, but if those are the rules, we have to abide by them. Hitched is a private company and not a democracy, whatever we think of that.

    3. Probs best had. Sorry again.

    1. not offended

    2. swearing doesn't bother me in the least

    3. i don't think you should be forced to. if you'd like to then go for it (you have stunning wedding pics which would make awesome avatars) but when something i that tiny (i really hadn't spotted words til you mentioned), it's odd

    I couldn't even read it until I had my eyes 5cm away from the screen (should wear my glasses), but once read I wasn't offended! :-)

    What ID said.

    I wish they'd crack down on the old posts being resurrected and random spam posts instead though.

    As with Cornish Bride 89, I couldn't read most of it until close up.

    Not offended at all, but I'm an absolute scaredy cat when it comes to breaking rules, so if someone asked me to change mine (the overly offensive default Hitched logo) I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    I made the mistake of suggesting they do something about some multiple posts over the weekend Mini and that was their response - nothing doing about the posts, just pick up on the most language in my avatar that most people couldn't even read without a microscope!

    Best as I can, it said 'Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks. Oh God, I'm English'

    ETA: not one of those words was censored - double standards hitched????

    This! As Mini said =bellends!

    1: Is anyone here offended by my avatar? I am not offended

    2: Are we not all grown adults who are entitled to use any language we care to, without being forced to moderate it? Yes, but l suppose the problem is this is in the public domain?

    3: Should I change it? My instinct would be no but you don't want be prevented from posting etc

    Yep, don't think we'll be seeing as much of the OMs, or even just the OT's anymore, particularly over in WP. If they don't want to see us, we shall oblige!
