I wish to use a custom avatar

[Mithridate]

So you having a custom avatar ( humor my name issue ) is due to being a moderator, thus its not possible to really have an custom avatar for regular users?
Only those whom view profile pics will see my opt-in avatar while everyone else still see my theme avatar.

Thus it should be stated that you cannot have a custom avatar to remove the confusion, but you can opt-in to display your profile pic instead for those whom view profiles.

Well, not much i can do then
