Question "Censored" Avatars
I have noticed a few avatars on the site with censored stamped across them. What is up with them or am I missing something?

It's to do with Stephen Conroy's (now failed) internet censorship thing, so it's a protest.

I like the irony of a guy with an avatar with tits on it, asking about censored avatars.

In his defense the breasts are covered, Janet Jackson style. Ooh, how topical of me.

They're all members of the Freemasons.

As far as I can tell, it's not off the table. I just read about it the other day: Australian 'Net filter to block video games, too - Ars Technica

Cheers
