We can't have custom avatars because idiots would abuse the power of them. I know other websites may allow it, but have you ever seen how many blacklists the mods hand out a day for inappropriate material being posted? It's the same reason why we can't use image tags.
If it was a better idea to use this method, then every message board would do it like this. People just can't be stupid. Our freedom shouldn't be ruined just because a few peole decide to put inappropriate material in their avatars and signatures.
Even besides all that, we can probably all agree that the Bungie.net message boards could use some work.
I don't agree that. I think they're fine. We don't need any more features and without distractions, people can concentrate more on their posts.
If you think most people won't be stupid, then allow me to say one thing.
Welcome to Bungie.net.
I'm not asking for more "features." I'm asking for simplicity. Ease of use. Bungie.net is a very aesthetically complex place that does not use space well. My suggestions: that menu on the bottom? It needs to go. The site should also be setup for 1024x768 resolutions. Most of you have probably noticed a lot of wasted space to your right. Who the hell uses 800x600 anymore? I'll tell you: no one. Not even people with 15" monitors. They should also take out any unnecessary jpegs and big fancy buttons. Some computers may also experience choppiness when scrolling through pages. That means there's too much crap on screen. Simplifying the site and stream-lining the interface would be a great thing for Bungie.net.
BTW, I wasn't saying that I thought people wouldn't be stupid. I said we should do that despite people being stupid.
