Do you think Bungie should allow users to upload their own avatar to use?

Damn dude... didnt you know there was an avatar contest a while back? This has been asked many times.

No... we can't allow people to have custom avatars. There would undoubtedly be questionable content, and then bungie would be relinquishing more freedom to its users... Bungies totalitarianist position right now is the best way possible.

Actually bungie wants to give as much freedom as they can to us users. That is what they want, they even said it in an interview. Forgot which one, but we can't have custom made avatars. One of the guys that helped made the site loves how users get a lot of freedom.

Compared to most other internet communities, we here at bungie.net are given very little freedom. Most forums are not moderated.

Trust me, as much as you think this is a democracy, its not. Deep down inside, its very totalitarian. If you take over the world, generally you dont install democracy anyway.

And I say thank God we don't have all that freedom.

Exactly why I don't want custom avatars. While some of us may use them responsibly, others will most likely not. I'm proud to be the only one who put "No" in the poll (at least when I looked at it last). If you want to see my Avatar Click this.
