Just turn avatars off, that way you won't care and everything looks nice and clean.

I honestly don't see the big deal with custom avatars. Every other forum has it. "People could use inappropriate ones" is also not a valid defense, because people can also make inappropriate posts, so what difference does it make if they can also have an inappropriate avatar.

Image sigs should be allowed too. Just set rules for how big it can be so people don't go overboard.

You sure did! They offered me any, and I mean any Avatar I wanted, you should see the shit I was able to use!!

I declined though, because the Mouse Chewing Mouse Chord is simply the most awesomest Avatar ever created!!!!!

That would be fine if the "lifer" title still existed, lol.

Did they say whether they are bringing back postcount titles?
Besides Senior Member, of course.

forget the postcount titles, i vote for custom titles.

Custom avatars are coming. Keep in mind, they'll have to censor them to some degree.

Cant you link them to rankings? Like someone with 1000s posts may be alot less likely to upload a inappropriate avatar on threat of permban than someone with, say, 30 posts. :hmm:

Yeah, you can set posting privileges like custom avatars to groups based on postcount. I don't remember if this is supported by default on vB, but it can be set up that way by add-ons, I think.

So just because someone chooses to post drivel in every thread that comes along they should get custom avatar privilege's. I don't think so.

That was the entire premise for the lifer status, where have you been :p

Testing image transparency (hypothetical mosh avatar?):

Regardless of status I feel all members should be allowed a custom avatar
and hopefully the people that run this place agree with me.
