I personally love the use of a wide range of images - be they simple drawings, complex cartoons, pictures of real objects/places/animals or cleverly photoshopped images.
I applaud the clever use of images to enhance the message of your post - especially when done in humour or to prove a point.
There are limits to everything. As you can imagine, the moderators:mad: will automatically apply appropriate infractions against posters who display pornographic, obscene, or offensive images.
Examples of automatic infractions are: images of Downs syndrome or other obviously intellectually handicapped persons (usually as a form of insult to a fellow poster); pictures of poo (faeces, shit - whatever you want to call it) - we dont want to see it - you don't want us to see it either; animals fornicationg, defaecating, urinating etc.; images of personal vibrators, dildos, sex dolls etc....
I can't list all of the things that are inappropriate, so we say be tasteful. If it's something you would be comfortable showing your grandmother - then it's probably OK.
Tasteful is a subjective term. Your tasteful might not be mine. As an example.
I recently used this image (provided by Keyser Soze):
Link to image (http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff278/Keyser_Soze_BF/potent.jpg)
But I was asked to remove it by the administrators because it is a bit too risque.
So I am posting it to show you that you (and I) are not allowed to post stuff like it.
I replaced it with this image which appears to be (just) acceptable:
