And pray do tell, how is my avatar deviant...

My work network has blocked the URL avatars.

What is it that makes this URLavatar unsuited? Is it the anime style, the lack of a weapon (would it be ok if it had say a sword)? Getting some insight here could speed up expanding the pool (and customs) quicker.
Does anime style make an avatar unsuited? That's a good question. If some good anime style STW or feudal Japan avatars were available I'd say they'd be acceptable, though I wouldn't use them myself. Lack of a weapon no, as 99% of the portrait avatars lack weapons and also most of the URL ones.

I was under the impression we were voting for Zain to have the suggested picture in place of his normal avatar (the gaul). I was also under the impression URL avatars are allowed to be chosen at will, with no restrictions, as they are defaulted to off in the User CP. I have them off, as most are big and clunky, but if the vote was for that to be in his URL avatar, I would have voted yes.
Post #9 of this thread already explains this clearly.
