Personally I find nothing offensive with nudity and as long as avatars aren't sexually explicit I believe they are fine. It's a lot more offensive when an idiot gets on the board and says I can "suck" his "ass" and get away with that. It's not my board though and I did put that small minded individual on ignore. Pics of women in thongs and even showing a nipple should be OK. I understand there are younger people reading messages here but not so young as to never have seen nudity on film, print or the internet. I hope we don't get too carried away with censoring avatars. Partial nudity if not tasteless or obscene should be allowed.
