When i opened my page to day, i recieved a msg from another mylot member asking me to change my avatar. The reason is: He doesnt like it. I know the photo is a bit off, but not that OFF... besides thats what picture i like.

Right now, I inverted the colors of the picture but its still same. Its not like im inviting something on the picture. I an making any invitation, i should have posted something like that.

If someone emails you with that, would you change the picture or do things your way. I might bring that old picture back, im just using this one right now and see some of mylotters opinion.

I would not change it. If they dont like it they certainly dont have to look at it or open your discussions. Do what you want.

By looking at your avator it doesnt look very offensive but if I found someonese avator offensive I may get uset but would not go as fa as writing them to tell them to remove it. I would put myself in the posters position and understand that they posted it for a reason. I would just ignore them, unless the mods of mylot ask you to remove it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1318)   ranked 1,554 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Well, it my choice for putting it there...but and i dont think its that offensive, i got offended by that someone emailing me to remove it, when mylot didnt even send me any alert of changing it. I know he means well by that, its just the way he said it on the email that offended me. but he said hes sorry now, so thats acceptable.

Of course you should not! There's nothing wrong with your avatar. This isn't obscene, it's very tasteful. I think it's graceful and pretty. That person must really have delicate sensibilities!


Apple1 (95)   ranked 4,290 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I want to add something, because I read in a response or two that "young people could be on this site." I thought the age here minimum was 16. A sixteen year old has seen complete nudity in any coffee table art book or museum, this much partial nudity on television, and your avatar is not pornographic in the least. I honestly think that unless a moderator steps in, your avatar is fine.


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1318)   ranked 1,554 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Thats what i thought so too...that ages at least 16 are allowable. I just didnt react to the comment, i dont want to make an arguement over it. Thats why i have to change the avatar by inverting the color. and yes, its graceful and pretty, i dont think thats obscene.

i won't be changing my avatar just because people asked me to... if they don't like my avatar, it is their problem and they have a choice not to look at it... i don't force people to look at my avatar... we have the freedom here to post any avatar we like as long as it is not offensive and does not violate mylot regulations... take care and have a nice day...


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1318)   ranked 1,554 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

i checked the regulations and like i said, i think my avatar is still within the regulations..

I almost didn't recognize you there! lol! Well, i guess you should especially here in myLot since lots of people are quite concerned about not mixing it with anything sexually graphic at least. Yours border from sexually graphic and not sexually graphic. If my avatar is nothing short of violating the rules, then i won't change it. I'm pretty sure you'll draw flak from people here and if you can stand it, why not? revert it back to your old avatar.

Now that you've put asked it, you drew more attention to the avatar, lol. I don't used to stare coz I thought its just a bunch of colors but now that you've mentioned I recognize the picture. lol. I'm an artist and I draw naked portraits within the bounds of art, im not sure though why some over-zealous people are offended by it. Its the human body, so long as its not vulgar or inappropriate I don't mind.


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1318)   ranked 1,554 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

So, coming from tan artist, you think that photo is offensive in anyway? i have to invert the color that way it wont look too offensive by what he said. and ive been getting lots of msg saying its nice and its pretty but not asking me to replace it..we were even having argument if its a guys hands covering it or the girl itself.

I changed my avatar from a mountain with a bunch of clouds to the angel with beautiful wings I have now because it suited the mood I am in. I don't think anyone here has any right to tell us or ask us to change our avatar. It is our alter-ego I think. It is for some people a way to express the way they are feeling. Like with me. When I had the mountain and the clouds it was me and showing how open and free I was feeling. Now the angel is showing how sad and full of grief I am feeling. And that I know that God is at work right now very deeply in my life. So I think you should do what is right for you and the heck with what anybody else asks you to do!! Make you feel good for you that is all that counts first last and always!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1318)   ranked 1,554 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Well, the reason why i choose that is because im working out right now after gaining weight for coupld of months, and i have this stretch marks from pregnancy, and since im mylot often, i want to look at that picture to remind me what i used to have before pregnancy and before when i used to be slim and all that. It keeps me on track with my diet regimen and work out..coz im aiming for that.


myLot reputation of 41/100. cookiecrumbles (230)   ranked 5,088 out of 19,223 in questions & answers  6 months ago

Like I said you have a right to any any Avatar you want to use. Nobody has any right to say anything about what you are using unless it is something that is nasty and really perverted. And then I think the only time stuff hash not gotten on is because someone complained.

If you feel comfortable with that avatar I don't see any reason why you should bow to others opinion. It is you who bear the brunt of criticism, if any. Again you need to analyze your avatar, what does that represent, anything offensive? Maybe if it is not of public interest you should try to change it to something that every eyes is comfortable of looking. The avatar is the first impression that draws the likely person behind the posts. Pictures tell a thousand story.

Well lets take it this way, I guess some people simply loved your discussion but then when they saw your profile avatar they simply could not look at it, some people do feel uncomfortable with the way things are, not all like to leave their comfort zone.......but still I would say the decision is yours its your avatar and you have the full control over it.......

Have a nice day!!!!

Thanks John, yeah, thats what i think too..that he liked my discussion but not the avatar..well, you can continue answering the discussion without checking the avatar right.. what matters is that you reply to post..it doesnt require you to make comment on the avatar. i think i leave it as that for while now, im starting to like the inverted color..
