I was wondering if it could be possible to allow 100x100 avatars on this forum. Big enough to have a spam-safe environment, and it could add certain variety.

I just whipped up a little something I'd like to use here and got bummed upon discovering there was no URL avatar option.

We had this feature previously, but we were getting too much spam and * in the icons. :( So that's why it is disabled.

Maybe members who earn their reputation as a forum goer can earn some privileges like this. It'd be a nice incentive to contribute. :D

I know this thread is dead, but I'd like to be able to have my own avatar as well.

Off-Topic section is pretty much dead, so commence with the necromancy.

And I want my avatar as well... thus, my idea of incentives in the forum.

How about giving this abillity once a user reaches 50-100 posts? It would be hard to find a solid balance, though. Too high and people would be encouraged to write nonsense to increase their post count, too low and spam bots might spam their way up to avatar rights. It's a problematic issue.

Actually, I think it is a lot of fun as it is: there are a ton of icons to choose from, and they are all related to our games, which brings the community together a bit more. I really enjoy seeing who picks which icons! :)

I share your pain, Nazzy.

But I can see where you're coming from, Joost. I just want Sexy and I Know It Voltar, and I'll be fine with the system. :)
