What are the regulations about profile pictures and avatars? Can i put a picture of me on provided any genitalia is blurred out?

Allowed:
Pictures of yourself shirtless or in a bikini top while wearing either pants or shorts.
Pictures of yourself or others shirtless or in a bikini at the beach or outside the house
Pictures of yourself shirtless or in a bikini inside your house casually.
Pictures of yourself shirtless or in a bikini in a mirror shot showing full body from the waist up including face.

Not Allowed:
Pictures in a sexual pose for example hands on your crotch, hands on your breast, or anything else a moderator seems inappropriate.
Pictures of yourself in your underpants.
Pictures taken of just your body.
Pictures of another person shirtless without you in the picture.
For girls Topless pictures are still not allowed even if they aren't taken in a sexual way. It's not appropriate for this site at all.
Pictures that are not really of you, staff members can reverse image search and find out. Pictures of yourself are required if you're going to put a portrait of yourself up.
Pictures that depict, deface or humiliate a person(s) in any way shape or form.

Any inappropriate pictures will be taken down by a moderator and you will receive a private message explaining why. If you upload the picture again you may receive an infraction or warning depending on the picture and prior disciplinary actions. What's deemed as inappropriate is said above but it is also determined at the moderator's discretion. If you have questions as to what you may think is appropriate or not, or what has not been mentioned in this announcement feel free to PM a staff member, we implore you to do so. If you don't ask, you don't know. Thanks.

Posting Pictures and Album Policy (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=135179)


In regard to your specific case, I would recommend cropping the picture. Do not ever post any nude pictures of you, or anyone, for that matter, even if you "blur" things out. It makes the entire site look like trash, and really, it isn't needed.
If the staff find a picture we feel is inappropriate, it will be deleted, and you receive a PM as to why.
I would recommend you PM me, or any staff member, the picture in question before you set it, so we can double check to make sure it's acceptable.
