myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1328)   ranked 1,579 out of 19,447 in questions & answers6 months ago

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.

Hello Daryljane! Well I think that if You really like your avatar, then you should keep it.:D Your avatar give You a personality on here, & NO ONE has the right to demand that someone changes it simply because they happen to dislike it. It's really up to you, but if this creep should still be bothering, I would delte him or her off your friendslist & report them to Mylot. There is Nothing wrong with your avatar. So please keep it. Thanks! I hope I have helped!:D

I think he invited me to be his friend couple of days ago, so..i dont think he gained the right to demand for me to change my avatar. But since he said hes sorry for going that far, im acceptable. Its ok..i dont want to cause static here in mylot anyways..so i forgave him.

mostly I wonder why you feel the need to ask. If you are confident in what you have there then surely it shouldn't matter to you what this person thinks. Obviously this person was offended by it and chose to let you know....freedom of speech.


myLot reputation of 95/100. sid556 (10798)   ranked 2,536 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

If it were me....I would not change it just because one or two people don't like it. Your aviator is your own personal expression. happy

The avatars are used mainly to give other people, in this case other myLotters, a chance to somehow get to know the person behind the username. The avatars, simply put, is a form of expression. Okay, so myLotters have the freedom to share their opinions and thoughts. That is a given. However, everyone should also realize that, in turn, each myLotter is a unique individual entitled to express themselves freely in whatever form they want. If a myLotter wants to express himself through his avatar, even if we feel strongly about it, we can't do anything but accept it. The fact that it was allowed by the admins shows that they didn't think it was offensive. Don't let the opinion of ONE member change you or the way you do things here at myLot. wink

I am going to have to agree with everyone else. As long as it does not go against the rules of mylot and as long as it does not show anything extremely offensive I think you should have the right to have whatever avatar you like. I personally see no problem with your avatar, and I would write back to the guy saying that you mean no offense by the picture and that is he doesnt like it than he should not be looking at it. You dont have to be rude, because I dont think he was trying to offend you, just write back in a considerate manner! Your not losing anything, and you gain respect!
deuces!

Well even me looking at that am feeling uncomfortable.And even if I were in your friend list I would have done the same.But is on you whether you want to change it or not.If other people not liking what you do does not bother much to you then may be you should use the same avatar.But if you really value what your friends think and feel about you then may be should straight away change it.


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1328)   ranked 1,579 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

uhmmm...i have to go through my friends list and i have to admit, i dont see his name there. Even that, it still doesnt give him the right to ask me that way. I would happily abide if he has asked me nicely. i dont know..

Your Avatar is your web presence or signature if you will No one has the right to ask or tell you how to represent yourself so therefore i strongly suggest you keep your avatar just as it is now or change it when you want to,not change it on another members opinion or likes or dislikes of it.

No leave it as it is, so did you invert the colours after they wrote to you? It is their dirty mind that is the problem all I see is some skin and hands.


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1328)   ranked 1,579 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

im back to my old avatar. This is what it looks like. And based on the other mylotters, especially the artist, he said its graceful and pretty.

lol! no! ofcourse not. If the person doesn't like the avatar, he's free to leave mylot. Your avatar isn't that offensive. If it were, mylot would've taken it down anyways. I think its just fine. i don't see what's wrong with it frankly. Could someone put it into perspective for me?

There is nothing even slightly offensive about your avtar and I really can't see what the problem is. Maybe I'm blind but I can't see any naughty bits.

I would have uploaded a new version of my avtar in support but I can't!!


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,913 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

i thought you weren't using those words anymore! confused


lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. mike197601 (2867)   ranked 532 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I was forced to!!
Anyway what's wrong with that picture??
Gorjess was right when she said it was because the complainers had dirty minds...they need their minds washing out with soap!!!!!


myLot reputation of 70/100. cannette1 (1409)   ranked 3,913 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

LMAO @ DJ forced you to say it!

i'm not even sure what the pic is. it kinda looks like a skeleton hand to me. confused


myLot reputation of 93/100. mike197601 (2867)   ranked 532 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

It's a naked woman (I think) with her hands covering her lady bits.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mike197601 (2867)   ranked 532 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

I've seen an avtar that shows a male dressed in bondage gear running around waving his big pink pole!!!
Seen that at all? (maybe I shouldn't ask!!!!!!!!!!!!)


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1328)   ranked 1,579 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

ok..calm down mike..lols! im putting the old avatar that way you'll see it clearly. so you decide whether that it offensive or not. i just inverted the color before.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mike197601 (2867)   ranked 532 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

It is fine so leave it as it is.
If anyone says anything I will get drunk again and put a naked avtar up...that will be very offensive and rather scary.


myLot reputation of 96/100. daryljane (1328)   ranked 1,579 out of 19,447 in questions & answers  6 months ago

dont worry...ill back you up on that! and dont get drunk alone..i can keep you cmpany if you like! lols!
