RyanE Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I only saw the goofy penguin-sort-of-thing, even on the posts where you guys were talking about a new avatar.CytexOne is pretty hands-off, I can't imagine them changing it unless it was pretty offensive.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xc420 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 The goofy penquin sort of thing was a classic advertisement from the 1930's. I had to clear the cache for the new avatar to show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 So, let's see that avatar again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy.cytexone Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hiya xc420 - I know I sure didn't do anything with your avatar and I can't imagine dan would either. As RyanE stated, we're pretty hands-off and fans of free speech. Perhaps it's the root of a bigger problem if you try to upload it again and it goes away... Give it a shot and let us know the results please.Additionally, if it was a Linux Penguin, we'd be all for it, and dare not snuff the penguin. Without Tux & Linux, there would be no Control4, and I'm sure you can imagine we're definitely not for that Additionally, as a side note to all, for fastest response from anyone at the CytexOne crew, we please ask you to email support@cytexone.com. That way, messages don't fall through the cracks as a ticket gets created in our system and can be followed up upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi sorry this was me. We received numerous complaints about the avatar that it was extremely offensive. In an effort to keep everyone happy we just removed it. We take no sides whatsoever in pretty much everything as most of you know. I totally should have emailed XC420 which I completely dropped the ball on, I'm sorry XC420 about that. XC420 if you could put an avatar up that doesn't upset people that would be totally appreciated. Thanks everyone for the concern, definitely 100% for keeping the peace.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letran Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hey at least now we know Obama is a C4 fan. I wonder what alias he uses:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_rebert Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Sorry, Dan. You guys run a great site, but that's garbage. I would be more worried about numerous complaints for taking it down and stifiling free speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlevine Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Your right.. not looking to stifle free speech at all... also not looking to hear people complain about an avatar (which is an extremely unusual circumstance around here). The core focus of this site is to discuss Control4 and political views don't play a role in that discussion.Without a doubt the next time a situation like this happens again, we will do what we normally do and contact the user thats upsetting others and give them the opportunity to remove the offending content.Just to re-iterate. We don't have a position on the subject either way just looking to keep the peace and not have people offended when they visit the site for something that has nothing to do with Control4.

AJ_ Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 ^ They are emoticons. They are all yellow faces though. Don't see how yellow-faced avatars could be offensive and yellow-faced emoticons not. The avatars are sharing some of the emotions with the emoticons as well, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveC4 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 achoudhary, I could be wrong, but I'll be he was joking.I too find the big yellow faces obnoxious....I can't even figure out what most of them are trying to represent. I liked my old avatar, but someone got mad at me about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
