I double checked and I cant find anything wrong with it. What say you? I only ask because I don't think that I'll get my avatar privileges back a second time. lol. BTW, sleep mode FTW.

Shane from the TOS thread
There is some gray area for explicit or otherwise images and videos. Please use your best judgement; if you have any doubt that your picture may fall outside of the TOS, either do not post it or contact a Moderator for approval prior to posting. For all avatars, signatures, images or links to images, videos, etc. must not include any of the below descriptions:
...
This includes images of men/women in any implied or expressed sexual or illicit act. http://forums.evga.com/tm.aspx?m=4682If you asked my opinion, I'd have said that it's halfway there or more likely, too sexual. Change it IMHO.

mistermisterWhats wrong with the shake weight? Its an awesome weight loss and body sculpting product! Yup, do 2.5 pound curls for 1000 reps. Maybe you'd blow off a bit steam to burn 1 pound of fat, or not.  mistermisterSigh... how 'bout now? I like it a lot, I have a thing for those things. But that object she's holding may be a problem, better PM a mod.

I find it offensive but, I'm not going to lose no sleep over it.
It's a religious slur.
Infidel (literally "one without faith") is an English noun, meaning one who doubts or rejects the central tenets of a religion other than one's own or has no religious beliefs; especially in reference to Christianity or Islam.

Oh oh, I'm stupid. I totally forgot and bypassed that, it meant as far as someone who doesn't believe in God for Muslims IIRC. I'm loving her things, you know... those distracted me. I made my comment on her anyway, the rest of that stuff is sad. He should post tits only.

I think your overreacting...... The Avatar IMO is perfectly acceptable... Everyone needs to take a chill pill are we in High School here? I guess I'm just get sick of all this "Politically Correct" crap..... It's one of the reasons our/my Country is in the toilet atm.. We're too worried what everyone else thinks...

One would reason if you have to ask, then it's probably better you not use it. I don't see the need to try and offend or provoke anyone.

This is true but, I also feel that people need to loosen up... It gets funny how people are offended by the dumbest things anymore..

Losing someone is a sad thing indeed,but losing relatives and living under terror is another one.FYI this kind of image feeds terrorism,it is not as dumb as you may think,and this is wrong.
The question is clear,and the answer as well.

It's amazing how someone can take a well proportioned women in a tight tee shirt and turn it into a politcal debate about terrorism. I really don't think the intention was to make a political statement, infidel is not the focus of the picture. The avatar is fine, there are so many far worse ones on here.

By definition ( loosely translated) Calling calling someone an "Infidel" is no different then calling them an "atheist" just a different language. Neither are derogatory, but rather descriptive. Now almost any word put into a certain context will offend almost anyone, but in this case its not directed at anyone so I think its fine.

Atheist is not a derogatory word, And infidel doesn't mean atheist it can but it means someone that doesn't have or doesn't share your beliefs. I honestly never been called an infidel but I have been told by several members of congregations and man of the cloth that I was going to hell. So I'm just going to make the best of it. It's what you do in this life that matters not what happens at the end.

To me his avatar incites a religious tone. As does this thread. Should be locked in my opinion.

Making a thread like this is pointless - the only people that can tell if you if your avatar is against TOS are the mods. Creating a public display like this can be regarded as incendiary. I'm locking the thread. PM a mod for avatar and signature review.
