    Do you find it harder to identify posters that are compulsive avatar changers?

    Should we "lock" avatars for a certain amount of time?

    Thoughts wanted.

          Terrible, terrible idea.

          Are you bored?

          Are mods running out of things to do??

            No they should not be locked. I also think you should bring back the animated avatars as well. Just for you Lou, I will now change my avatar daily. God bless.

              Just a thought, the idea might suck..

                    You don't want to be on this hit list, Lou.

                      i agree that i wouldn't recognize half the posters here who change their avatars. i would never have known Lv Herbie if it wasn't for that fat guy on a mini bike. and when paver posts with pool guy pic, i know it's him right away. if he put another avatar, i'd read the post and not know it's him.. same goes for everyone else. i look at avatar first, then read the post.. i hardly ever look at name of poster.

                            I think the posters should be free to chose and change their own avatars whenever they please.

                                  Imposing something on someone against their own free will diminishes everyone's personal freedoms. Looks like the Nazi regime that CrazyL warned us about is going to step up a notch. It's a sad, sad day.

                                    SBR should assign avatars to posters, against their will, that most closely reflect their posting contributions...

                                                  I don't like the idea of legislating a rule like that. But I also get the spirit behind the proposal. I wish people wouldn't monkey with their avatars so much - for the recognizability reasons that have already been brought up.

                                                  But then there is a different problem with someone like me who has had the same avatar since day 1. It causes so much jealousy and resentment that it leads to tension on the forum.

                                                  It wouldn't be a problem if my avatar wasn't so awesome but of course, it is.

                                                    I love it. Also, make avatar changes mandatory after 31 days.

                                                      But then there is a different problem with someone like me who has had the same avatar since day 1. It causes so much jealousy and resentment that it leads to tension on the forum.

                                                      It wouldn't be a problem if my avatar wasn't so awesome but of course, it is.

                                                      word up.....





                                                      and for those of you identifying me only by my avatar....

                                                        I think avatars should be banned, they have nothing to do with gambling and have no meaning or business here.

                                                        Will do something for once

                                                          Exactly. The rule would never be written but a guy can daydream. Say after 5 avatar changes in a month, lock the avatar for [x] amount of time.
