As if the 2nd Test match was not enough,Aussies nationals on Planetcricket have put up avatars which clearly hurt the sentiments of Indian fans.

I have seen Hooper's avatar which has a cross over Harbhajan's face.It says 'kick out racism'.
But it also implies that Harhajan is a racist ! :noway

This is simply not done.
Infact,this is what can be called as racism.

Mods,please do something regarding this.

What will hapen if the strong sub-continental community on PC resorts to avatars which have crosses on Ricky Ponting's face ? :mad:
 
I am sorry to say this, but have you failed to notice that the Indian fans being resorted to have a similar crossed out Australian Cricket Board avatars? However, In my humble opinion, it is totally aimless to discuss which group started this first (even though I know quite well), as both groups are being a bit too sentimental.

And by the way, if you are using Firefox, you can Adblock images that you would rather not like to see, including the "offensive" avatars.
 
Well,i did get that later.
I'd requets them all to remove those offensivve images.
Also,using Firefox,i'll only be able to block what all I want.

I know both are being senti-mental,but this is obviously not the way things are done.
 
HP Fan I believe made a avatar crossing out the national cricket flag saying to Indians feel free to use it. I'd rather have a players face crossed than my national flag....thats saying all Australians are racist or disgrace.
 
As far as I can tell those avatars do not break any rules, as such they won't be removed. However I personally feel that they do not help the situation and would encourage all users using one to change to a different one, but I'm not going to force anyone to.

In the interests of this thread not starting a debate on the issues the sigs and avatars deal with I'm going to close it.
