I was just wondering why does this forum has it's own "pre-sets" of avatars rather than allowing users to upload their own ? I know that besides a space of uploaded avatar/saved space there's not much benefit of it in my opinion. What's your opinion on it guys ? ;)

It is pretty trivial to disable avatars in the User Control Panel.

I didn't knew I could disable avatars in the ucp, I must have skipped this option since I looked in there and it wasn't there. I disabled them since I will be vomiting from seeing the same avatar every 15 seconds ...

We need upvotes, member rankings, thanks/kudos points, + and - reputation points as well as all the above.

Are really planing to make another Facebook for Mafia ? Really :rolleyes:

Let's be honest, having customised avatars would just make this place look like it was full of adolescent dickheads. Why distract attention and spoil a clean look.

As for like buttons, just another waste of real estate, achieving absolutely nothing apart from more clutter. If you can't say it in words then move on.
I would rather have a custom avatar then some dick-ish guy who holds a gun as my avatar :D for me the avatars makes forums more lively and provides everyday experience of viewing the forum even more fun. I dunno about you tho.

I will agree with you on this one, those likes, reputation and no really needed features would only clutter database and made this website and forum load even slower, not to mention how much MB you can save :p

Ever since that pancake incident I think the mods should be the only ones with control of the avatars.

Can you tell me what's that pancake incident about ? I have joined a few days ago so I don't know much about it :p

i think the admin should remove the edit/delete your post option too :D

then people might have to think a little more before hitting submit.

Wait... There is a delete button for a post ?

Having everything nice and standard keeps it all looking sleek, I spend most of my working day on this forum, I'm pretty sure because my screen displays the OcUK blue background and white text so often that most people in the office assume its a work related system I'm accessing :D

If everyone got to pick big colourful / animated avatars it would give the game away!!!

Hey there Donkey King :D

BTW What is a Marmalade ? O_o
