jimgreer removed it

heres wat he said

Person Content Write your whisper here (accepts textile).

jimgreer Sep. 02, 2008 Your avatar was generating complaints because it made people feel like they were going to have a seizure. I have replaced it with a Kongregate K for now.

jimgreer removed it

Jimgreer is a staff member and probably had a reason to remove it, then. If you make an appropriate avatar, then you will have nothing to worry about.

(Oh, posted before your edit. Yes, he replaced it because people sent complaints they were going to have seizures.)

Oh, and another edit: Your avatar you just changed into may give seizures. If it was your old one, it is probably very smart to replace it, or risk a ban.

Sounds pretty legitimate to me. Sorry if it took a long time to make, I recommend next time being a little more careful about the animation you use. It is very possible your avatar wasn’t harmful at all, but I know the staff probably made a good choice in this. Nobody wants to have a case on their hands.

I recommend making another one, or going to the arts forum and requesting a certain avatar be made. We have many good artists here on Kongregate.

i changed back to it idc wat happens

That is pretty immature. I would recommend changing it, my eyes hurt even having it on the page.

For a side not. Esc to pause moving avatars.

If it seriously took you that long to make a flashing background, I don’t know what to say about your photoshop skills…

Seriously, if anyone browsing this site has latent epilepsy, that avatar is sure to bring it out. And even for those that don’t, it’s incredibly annoying.

Check the art forums, people can fill requests there pretty quickly. :D

I literally had my eyes start hurting when I saw it, and reached for esc.

I suggest you change it back.

I think I’m going to have a seizure, not joking. Please change it. If you don’t a staff member will, and probably ban you for defying it anyways…

marh Thanks for that tip with ESC, helps a bunch. Didn’t know about it…

I stared at that av for a whole minuite and nothing happened. If ppl dont want to see it use the esc button like marh said or move the bottom scroll bar over if you can. I honestly can not see how that av can give ppl seziures. Maybe if you are sensitive to that sort of thing but other than that its fine.

Games do not (generally) have lights flashing in such a manner.

If not wanting to give myself epilepsy is “wimpy”, then so is not wanting to skydive without a reserve parachute. People have different tolerances for that sort of thing.

I thought that was kinda funny. Especially when he replaced with a Kongregate K. Propaganda yo! Wait, no nvm. But I can picture jim saying

Your avatar was generating complaints because it made people feel like they were going to have a seizure

in a joking manner.

Thanks for the esc tip, marh.

Adblock does good too.

Edit: jim posted below me I feel so special.

Flashing avatars are very annoying, and for people who have epilepsy they are even more uncomfortable to look at than everyone else. I’m changing your avatar again. Please create a version of your animation that doesn’t have a flashing or rapidly animating background.
