I think it'd be a great feature. Why can't we have it though? I want to put this pic in my sig so badly! I'm a Warhawk fanatic, just showin' my pride. I think this would be a good feature to have. Anybody agree?
I don't think so. We are getting more and more immature members everyday and you want to give them a avatar. Just think what they could put .
*ahem* But have you seen iPtF's avatars? They're loads of immature members there, yet they're mature enough to have sensible avatars. Just add a simple rule (btw, where are the forum rules?) where you cannot have immature avatars, i.e. no pornographics images, no swearing, moderators have the right to change your avtar.
Yea, but people will make them avaters and then get banned but some people will see them before they are banned. What about having to get your avatar approved by a mod or admin before using it.
iPtF's avatars alone were more than enough to make me swear not to visit that site anymore. I found out the site when you mentioned it on my wall only. The forums seemed to have a pretty big community but the Huge Crap Avatars made it look like I was visiting some low class Porno forums. Yuck. I strongly suggest the admins here to allow only small avatars and that too only pics. No dumb Gifs either please. And to make them unique to TA, how bout having the avatars in wide landscape instead of portrait modes. That would suit the TA forums better and won't waste any more space than the current 'no avatar' theme either.
Simple non-animated 64x64 avatars I would freakin' love, but pics in sigs are probably one of the most obnoxious things to place the net.
iPtF's a great place, and avatrs putting you off is just.. sad. It's a fantastic place with good members. I agree with getting ur avatar approved by a mod here tho.
I definitely think reasonably sized Avatars should be allowed as well as small/thin siggy banners like the example you posted. But the lack of photos helps focus on the text more which is nice and pretty rare for a thread.
I cannot agree more that pics on sigs are just silly as they would just make toucharcade appear more immature such as the other gaming websites I no longer visit.
I'd like an image in my sig, but that's only because I know mine would be appropriate and reasonably professional-looking. I can't speak for everyone but I'm sure there would be a lot of crap. I'd like some kind of a reward system. Users who are active, helpful, provide game info/reviews/etc should get more benefits in the form of sigs and avatars. It wouldn't be too many people at once so the mods would be able to check each one is appropriate before allowing it.
then you could experiment with having mod approved avatars by letting people with high post counts be the first beneficiaries...like over 500 or 1000 posts or something like that
