Please could we have custom avatars enabled on the forum?

And the simplest way around this is to require a certain # of posts first before the feature is enabled.

Really, any problem you can find with it has already been solved by other forums you just have to look.

I agree, fortunately I'm not an easily offended type of person. I've just got used to the fact there's threads full of abusive, sexist, homophobic or otherwise hostile posts everywhere. For example, it's not particularly nice how to rape is now used as a gamerz term for a kill, given the reality of the word, so we just have to be tolerant of such things don't we. I don't see how an immature few abusing the facility to have pretty personalised avatars would be any different to that.

I'm sure it would be easier to moderate and act upon images than it is to currently moderate all the other inappropriate language based content that the forums are full of.
