It is not a picture of Buddha.

Anyone of the Buddhist faith would know this.

Im of the faith.. not well but enough to take offense..... Siddhartha I guess... just wish people would have more respect on CC in general. I never put a "Army of gods beliefs suck!" on my avatar...

but whatever.

If I expected more of people I wouldnt be on this website.

I repeat, it is not a picture of Siddhartha Gautama.

Anyone of the Buddhist faith would know this.

Interesting... can i have the link?

Also owens "Jesus" was also said by the majority in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=125428&hilit=black+jesus%3F

not to be the true representation of Jesus as most thought of Jesus as more of a mid toned person not "black". So either way it will be interesting how the mods rule this as that SURE looks like a buddha idol just as ownes SURE did look like jesus.

its a close enough depiction of sidhartha... you guys are all sad.... Im off the forums for the night.

edit and you are foed... for the 1000th and last time... take care.

grifftron copying and pasting another report isn't going to work. If you are serious about this, which you said you really didn't care take the time to do it right. If you want to protest a decision that was made do it this is the wrong forum. Making spurious reports is discouraged. I am going to close this.

Siddhārtha Gautama (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम; Pali: Siddhattha Gotama) was a spiritual teacher from ancient India who founded Buddhism.[1] In most Buddhist traditions, he is regarded as the Supreme Buddha (P. sammāsambuddha, S. samyaksaṃbuddha) of our age, "Buddha" meaning "awakened one" or "the enlightened one." [note 1] The time of his birth and death are uncertain: most early 20th-century historians dated his lifetime as c. 563 BCE to 483 BCE,[2] but more recent opinion may be dating his death to between 411 and 400 BCE.[3]

so CC has pretty much come to getting the closest you can to NOT breaking the rules and you are cool.

and my point continues to be proven... my picture was not of Jesus, but i had to change it or be banned for 6 months... AoG's is not of Buddha and the report is closed without any punishment... lesson learned, i am moderated wholly on a different level than any other user on CC... i invite someone to explain this to me, please...-the black jesus

What would be the point of that, when you refuse to see anyone else's point view? You are not stupid or ignorant so I can only conclude you are being deliberately obtuse. What I cant fathom out is why?

Actually I was VERY surprised that this so quickly dismissed. owens avi was Jesus like. AoG avi is Buddha like.

I think Evil Semp is normally one of the fairest and unbiased mods but this truly does appear to be unequal moderation.

I'd say make AoG remove his or give owen his back.

Perhaps king a needs to rule on this one too...

Personally, I'd go with the first option. I don't find them offensive, but I can see how some would.

open a new report if you want AoG to take his avatar off... this one is CLOSED!

Evil Semp took your report as spurious because you just copied and pasted the wordings from another previous report and then you followed it up with a "I could care less how this is ruled,...".

Next time be more careful of what you say or we could take it another way.

I am re-opening this case. Army of GOD, PM sent. You should know better than to do this.

I think the piece of art in AoG's avatar needs to be tripping over something with a speech bubble saying "f*ck" to be ok.

The intent is meant to make it ambiguous, and use the gray area to troll/flame/etc. Relate it to the various other rulings about pornography we've had on CC---the "ambiguous nipples" where the intent was to use the gray area to troll/flame/etc.

Moreover, it just comes down to the Common Sense clause---if you are intentionally trying to push buttons, there isn't any good that is going to come from it.

In the grand scheme of Conquer Club, I'm sure there are other issues we can all get behind a rally about.

Let's march to somewhere else. I'll leave this up for KA, since he said he is looking into it.
