Chiara Francesco Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I have never complained or offered an opinion when dUST or an admin messes with the words and such for jokes but this I MUST complain about! If the avatars was changed to something benign and harmless, I wouldn't be writing this post! Changing all our avatars to dopey Kiefer Sutherland! For the lesser complaints about him, I don't think he is such a great actor, I have never and don't watch his TV shows (24 or Touch, etc) nor his movies unless he had a smaller part in one. The biggest reason for my complaint is this is a Catholic site so why HE is chosen as an avatar I have no idea! He is a self-proclaimed Socialist as was his family in Canada. He supported Obama in 2008 and then again in 2012. I have read and seen articles on him in the past and because of this avatar nonsense, I found this disturbing video and article on him: http://lonelyconservative.com/2011/04/keifer-sutherland-the-socialist/ and https://soundcloud.com/tobyknapp/kiefer-sutherland-endorses Whoever, if you MUST play with our avatars - though you really shouldn't as people pick their avatars based on their favorite saint, spirituality, order they hope to enter, etc. - can you not pick one like: 1. The Saint of the Day/Week/Month 2. Religious order Shields/Coat of Arms 3. Cartoon characters even! (but not obnoxious ones like Family Guy, etc.) - I personally am a fan of Bugs Bunny! 4. If you must pick a Hollywood celebrity, how about Jim Caviezel, etc. 5. But best yet...... how about you NOT go around changing everyone's avatars to someone so liberal and who, like myself, don't like him and find him offensive!

OnlySunshine Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I can't stand someone changing my avatar of the icon of Christ the Bridegroom. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antigonos Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes, I miss my angora rabbit. It really reflects my "inner self" [Gesundheit!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Spinelli Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 and where did props go?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Your avatars are not gone. If you go to your profile page or are in chat, they are still there. There is something overriding the avatars to make them all the same, so you can change it as much as you like and it will not show up in the Phorum.

GraceUk Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I didn't even realise everyone had been given the same one. I thought why have I been singled out for a particularly not nice one. Didn't even know who it was. So at least relieved to find out this isn't the case! I don't know how to do them. But please not this man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the171 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why is this in VS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Why is this in VS? Because VSers do not realize that there is a rather large forum outside of VS. :| [spoiler] :hehe: [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikita92 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Okay....so does that mean we need to become aware of other topic groups i.e.-Open Mic etc. outside of VS?? I mean...if I was...I would be! What's the point of taking over and changing the profile pics aspect of VS?? if everyone is following the rules and regulations...then why try and elicit responses from members??

nikita92 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Grace- do you need to be given instructions as to personalize your profile? (Not that assigning yourself a picture would do any good at this point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inperpetuity Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Why is this in VS? That..is a good question, but I think the answer is obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I think if everyone would just laugh it off it will go away. All the avatars will return. We have all been given a penitential meal of purple eggplant squares until people stop riding dUSt and the mods. We don't have to like it... we just have to live with it. When they irritate you -- think of 'em like a hair shirt and pray for those who need prayers. It will pass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The longer you complain, the more dUSt seems to enjoy it. I would just be quiet, ride it out and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antigonos Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Purple is an improvement on Kiefer Sutherland, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
