Lost in translation

I'm sure this has been discusses already but I think it would be nice to have personal avatars that we can use from our own computers. I know that some peole would abuse it and use inappropriate images but they're usually few and far between and are easily dealt with.

No. You can have a personal avatar if you become a moderator, other than that download a script.

Easily dealt with? Sure. But after how long of an interval? And after how many alternate accounts will they stop? And how many individuals (it isn't as low a number of people as I would have liked). It's a shame the few ruin it for the rest of us, but that's how it goes.

Honestly i like it the way it is. Giving the majority the power of whatever avatars they want would have...bad consequences. Unfortunately there's those kind of people out there that would ruin it for everyone.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

These forums are too populated, there would be too much abuse. And the population is only going to increase when the PS3 users join us, which means even more abuse. Sure, it might be easy to ban someone who has a vulgar avatar, but our moderators are only volunteers and there are only a small number of them, it's just too much.

That's why I like the idea of a reward system. We could earn custom avatars by being active and not getting banned. For instance:
1 year without a ban or warning could earn you a custom avatar.
2 years without being banned could allow you to change your username. Etc.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I'm guessing that theme masters no longer receive the custom avatar considering the most recent one SniperSteatlh hasn't received one over the course of the last couple years.

OP, you ask as if it's only a matter of time before the webteam allows us to use custom avatars. We aren't getting them.

How long until the average member displays the ability to select/make an avatar that doesn't look like I ate a packet of skittles then vomited on my screen?

15.
That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Bungie needs to start IP banning so it's not so easy to make alt accounts.

IP banning can affect other, legitimate people you know. Many ISP's use dynamic ip addresses for the consumers.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

I say no, unless a reward structure were to be implemented, as my friend Joe said. Why you ask? Why not allow myself to further show my personality?

I like to spend my time browsing something clean-cut and professional, not hideously-annoying and ignorant.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

It would take away the specialness of them, I hope normal members are never able to get their own.
