    Default Custom avatars

    Hello,

    We'll continue sorting this out.

    - I believe that custom avatars should follow an appropriate theme (exact criteria to be decided later) and that these thematic criteria should be mandatory.

    - I believe that it should be encouraged that custom avatars should follow an appropriate theme, but that these criteria should be guidelines and custom avatars that would be otherwise acceptable should be allowed.

    - I believe that there should be no theme requirements or guidance for custom avatars.

    NB: this is not about the file or dimension size. Whether there will be a mandatory theme or not, inappropriate 18+, offensive etc avatars will never be allowed.

    Strong tendency towards the first one. I think it would be more than inappropriate to have a Bart Simpson avatar because it just woudn't feel right.

    Just my two-pence.

    I second that. How do you get custom avatars anyway?

    i say no theme. having a theme defeats the entire purpose of Custom avatars. it's not very custom if you have to limit it to just one exact theme. it almost makes more sense to just stick with the current system of having no custom avatars rather than to do that

    that said, i certainly don't wanna see this site have a whole bunch of avatars of a Bart Simpson cartoon displaying his bare butt in every one's face, as is the case on other forums where custom avatars are allowed

    i think an acceptable medium is to have no theme, but make sure all the custom avatars have a mature connotation to them
