    If this is truly the case and WGT are more active in monitoring profile pics, then this is one of the best single improvements we have had to the site.

    I am somewhat sceptical that WGT deserve all the credit. I think perhaps many of the community have probably been more vigilant. There is no need for objectionable pictures - its a golf site not a porn site.

    But I suppse this is where it is a gray area of censorship - what is objectionable to some (ie humorous pics) may not be for others = who would want to be a mod huh?

    A c/p from the T&C

    "

    Each user will either select a username or allow WGT to automatically select a username at random. Additionally, users may form "teams" and such teams will be required to choose a team name. When you choose a username, team name or otherwise create a label that can be seen by other players using the games, you must abide by the following guidelines as well as the rules of common decency. If WGT finds such a label to be offensive or improper, it may, in its sole and absolute discretion, change the name, remove the label and corresponding chat room, and/or suspend or terminate your use of the games.

    In particular, you may not use any name:

    1. Belonging to another person, including pop culture figures or celebrities, with the intent to impersonate that person, including without limitation a "Game Master" or any other employee or agent of WGT;
    2. That incorporates vulgar language or which are otherwise offensive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;
    3. Subject to the rights of any other person or entity without written authorization from that person or entity;
    4. That is, contains, or is substantially similar to a trademark or service mark, whether registered or not;
    5. That is intended to inflame, trash-talk, or provoke a reaction from the community;
    6. Taken from WGT's products;
    7. Related to drugs, sex, alcohol, or any criminal activity;
    8. Comprised of gibberish (e.g., "Asdfasdf", "Jjxccm", "Hvlldrm"), URLs, spam, or anything that is intended to solicit other players for commercial purposes;

    You may not use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the name restrictions listed above, nor can you have a "first" and "last" name that, when combined, violate the above name restrictions.

    I would give the majority of the credit to players on the site.  I will give us mods a slight pat on the back for taking care of them quicker then in the past lol.  But seriously the great majority of praise should go to players being vigilant in reporting issues.
