Read those rules and don't see how a picture of anyone in a signature breaks them in anyway. Care to elaborate?
What we aren't going to do is allow hundred-thread discussions on prior moderation decisions. The GSS pic threads are clearly designed to entice that back and forth again. Therefore, no more please. The GSS decision is done and buried in history. If you have more questions, please feel free to PM me and I'd be more than happy to talk with you more about it!
