***original issue now resolved*** Why can't you have an England flag as your avatar here?

GaryQQQ

seems a bit harsh how silly

Yesterday I changed my avater to an England flag, planning to leave it that way until England are eliminated from the World Cup.

I've done the same thing on Facebook, Twitter and other forums without any problem. But it's been censored here!

Why? Has political correctness on Sky Poker gone barmy? Surely the Scottish, Welsh and Irish members of the forum won't find the flag that offensive?

It is a bit sad Gary. I do not think it is us other "Home Nations" people who have any problems with the cross of St. George....probably folk from "further afield" and we cant go upsetting them now, can we.

Has it been censored or is it just awaiting approval?

I'm sure MP33 has got the cross of  St george as part of his avatar, so there can't be a problem

Censored, it said waiting for approval all afternoon/evening yesterday, by the time I logged on this morning that message had gone and it's been changed to the blank white box that you see now.

As a Scotsman I think this is really stupid.  Why is it that the English have so much trouble being English.  You're in the world cup for goodness sake, let the man have his flag.........

( Whisper to the fellow celts:  Come on USA smirk smirk )lol

In Rich's abscence I am one of the people responsible for accepting/rejecting photos. I definitely did not reject this.

Was there any message on the flag at all? Was there another website printed at the bottom of the picture/

If not, please could you try again and I will accept it! It may have been a slip of the finger from one of my colleagues!

Sorry about that!

Cheers,
Jordan

It was a standard flag of St. George overwritten with 'Come on England'.

Here it is;

Sky_Jordan

Yes that looks fine to me.

If you try to use it as your avatar now I will accept it.

Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers

Thanks Jordan, I've just submitted it again.

Sky_Jordan

Might throw up a "nearest the pin" thread.

How many images will be deleted for no "real" reason while Sky Rich is away??

I would say 127.
