Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I don't feel that the trust system is adequate enough for this. While it works, it basis too much trust on time, and not enough on personal actions and behavior.
Not saying that it could do that kind of stuff automaticly, but we all know that many people who have simply left and come back have received advanced titles, but I don't feel that would warrant a custom avatar.
Which is why it should be an award for the highest rank, which is Legendary, right?
That way, it's not only time in the community that's a factor, but what that person has attributed, whether it be a forum guide, popular discussions, helped with the community, anything.
Mythic is the highest, one above Legendary. It's still time, however, that has the greatest affect on trust. This isn't bad, necessarily, for giving simple ranks, but something as notable as custom avatars, I think, would require personal attention by the adminitrator, and not some automated algorithm.
Well, if a member has managed to stay on the forums for 2 years with a pretty clean record, I would say that's a valid reason to trust him/her.
I would, too. Unfortunately, not everyone has exactly been here during that time period. Too many have just signed in just enough to keep their account from being deleted, and to reward that contribution (not bad contribution, mind you, but it certainly isn't good) with custom avatars would be distasteful to me.
