First off, no. Never. Not gonna happen. And if it does, I truly have lost faith in this community, and will thus, leave.
On most sites where you can set up your own personal profile you are allowed to upload your own avatar.
That's your problem right there. This is not most sites. Nor will it ever be 'most' sites.
I think it still deseves a try to see if it will work. I know that on other site I use the avatar to help identify a person. In ones that I am active in I look at the picture to see if I know him/her from previous threads. It also helps give the feeling that everyone on Bnet is a different person and less so that they are just some faceless person in the forums.
That is who we are, faceless people. It is like this to not give us too much freedom. We are not allowed to upload avatars simply because it would not work. Over half of this community is very immature. Trust me, I was once part of that very large group.
Sure there would be rules established and people would break them, just like in the forums, but if not too many people do so it can be controlled. And if it runs out of controle, I think the privilage should be taken away.
Then why have something when it will be taken away?
