The big red threesome button and the dog (what is his name?) button in his avatar seems to have been illegalized in the Omnibus Criminal Law Bill:
iii. Posting pictures, other media, or links to the same of a pornographic nature on the Atlas Fantasy Elections and Government Boards and any other forums added to the Atlas Fantasy Boards in the future.
v. Posting threads on the Atlas Fantasy Elections and Government Boards of a sexual nature that contribute nothing to political or philosophical discussion.  If any other forums are added to the Atlas Fantasy Boards in the future, this clause shall apply any and all such forums.


If that doesn’t count for some reason or other, then I also think that it isn’t compliant with the Forum rules:
You agree, through your use of this YaBB forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law. This is not only humorous, but legal actions can be taken against you. You also agree not to post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or you have consent from the owner of the copyrighted material. Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also inappropriate to this YaBB forum.

Still, signatures could be exempt.  I hope that I’m not wasting your time, but I’d like others’ opinions on whether this is in violation or not.

It seems to be within the letter of the law, if not the spirit.

You cannot get him on clause (v) because he's not actually posting threads of a sexual nature.

Clause (iii) is more debatable, though I think you'll be going uphill trying to prove that the image qualifies as "pornographic".

As for the forum rules: As has been shown by BRTD, Dave doesn't really care about enforcing those.

I don't plan on prosecuting Flyers with what he has in his signature right now.
