I can't say anything about the specific avatar in question since it has been removed. I'm not a huge fan of usernames and avatars that represent someone else .. even and particularly if it's an obvious celebrity. After that I'm not too insisting on it being "professional" .. however if it is "unprofessional" then while I'm not sure there should be a rule, I also think that we're trying to be somewhat professionals here. Our industry already has a hard time getting respect, so then if our publicly viewable forum is full of infantile pictures, it's hard to ask others to take us seriously if don't even take ourselves seriously. However I'm not really again unique fun avatars that aren't "business like" .. so long as they are not unprofessional. People should consider it for themselves as well. I was super happy when
@WhoaDomain.com finally changed his .. as much as I though I'd still not take him more seriously, I actually did .. lol.
Again .. my comments above are totally generally speaking and NOT in any way directed to
@Elad n .. I didn't see the avatar in question so maybe it was totally fine .. or maybe not .. lol. That being said .. NamePros has all the rights to do whatever they want with regards to anything on this forum. That includes closing forum access, deleting data, removing avatars or any other content, as well as reading our private messages. It's a bit concerning considering how anonymous ownership and management is .. but it's something you just have to accept if you want to take part here. Because on the other hand NamePros is a great toll and resource for us all, and I think they do try to make is fair for the most part .. although it's far from perfect I suppose.
