Make Avatars Mandatory

Concise description:
  • Every user needs an avatar
  • Those who abuse avatar privileges or are guested get a shame-a-tar
  • There will be stock avatars for people to choose from

Specifics/Details:
  • Basically, people can no longer long in or take turns until they choose an avatar
  • The stock avatars can be one of five, or they can be randomly generated for each new user

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • community is everything on this site, as the community dies, the site dies
  • this will be something that helps everyone in every way

No.

yes - but they should be so horrid that it would force people to choose something for themselves say, a bag of dicks, for example. 9/10 on this one, DY... =D>

No they don't.

Horrible Idea.

This idea does not improve the community and it serves to detract from it. Certain users might like every user, but forcing every user to choose an avatar isn't community building.

So how does it detract? Name one benefit that avatar-less users provide to the community. All they are doing is showing that they don't care.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of every player enriching the site with beautiful and creative avatar images... but forcing red star dullards to pick banal ready-made pictures off a list is not the answer.

Then scrap the default avatars. Have one default avatar that says "I hate society" or "Hilary For President" or something equally revolting.

How about a vaguely anus-like star inside a red circle?

- Ok,,,,ummm,,,,How about a compromise, How about BW makes it so on a certain date/time, Everyone who does not have an avatar, Their country flag takes over as their avatar, and they have a choice to keep it or discard it for no avatar, make everyone have it, but they always have the option to remove it themselves?

That could work. Opt-out is better than opt-in.

- There are members who don't know how to place an avatar, thats why they go without, Some don't care either way, If we make it so everyone new and old have their country flag as avatar, I think most would just keep it, Some it might encourage to make a change to another avatar, And few would discard for no avatar?

Would the default country flag avatar change if your country changes, for example, while traveling?

...Well we already are forced to have a location flag... :roll: .......Let a see...a lot of members come from The Union Jack and Stars and Stripes,and are forced upon them those horrible flags...
.......I say, do what many Native Americans do,fly The Stars and Bars and Battle Flags...Kool...,historical.........and gives the USA the middle finger......I think that is why a lot people of THE INDIAN(Native American) Confederacy....fly The Stars and Bars and The Battle Flag...I wonder why? ;)
-------Maybe they were of the Ancestors of the Cherokee and Choctaw Regiments,who fought for THE SOUTH,or maybe they like giving the ones who took their land in the name of "Manifest Destiny",the middle finger... :D
-------There are many different kinds of flags of those who fought with Honor for THE SOUTH...People can use them as their Avatar,and stick their fingers at The Horrible USA Government,who even to this day...Tries and forces American values on the rest of the world...Like America is God's gift to the world or something...Everyone in the world must live as Americans... :roll: ...Well China has done just fine for over 4,000 years,maybe everyone should be following ,Chinese values... O:) ... :D ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... :D...or have people without avatars get....Like in high school yearbooks ...roy moore might sign...."PHOTO NOT AVAILABLE" ........student was absent ....out with roy on picture day... :lol:

I still like this one. 100% chance of replacement.

Against the idea though. Freedom!
