As long as it is similar to the Halo system it should be fine. But advanced features like altering size should be limited, lest bad members create dirty avatars.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Not to mention, it's probably easier on the site.

The site is out of date, once the revamp comes in the New Hawtness we are bound to see a lot of change. Our Halo avatars may even need to disappear eventually...

On that damned day I better get the option to have a custom avatar. This baby ain't going nowhere.

This is a great idea, it could use the same options as Destiny (assuming it will feature emblems).

I like the idea, but the web team is restricted; their priority should be new features and enhancements to existing features. I can't wait to see what they have been working on.

my thoughts.

Why don't we have a customizable layered avatar system, just like the Emblems for Halo, but specifically built for the forums? This way, we can have more unique avatars, without having to log on to a game to change it, or being limited to layers from a single game universe.

Because IF there is a way to make an inappropriate emblem someone WILL find it.

It could be set so that new (custom) avatars have to be cleared by a mod before being activated.

It would not be practical to check EVERY avatar, especially when the new swarm of Destiny era members arrive. Too much work for the mods.

If the webteams cared so much -which they evidently don't, as we've already seen the Halo emblems- they could simply make certain layer combinations locked.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Nah, seems pretty pointless.

Again that would involve creating a system and then screening it over and over again and then having to update it every time someone found a new way to mess it up. Not worth the effort, I like our avatars.

No, it wouldn't be hard, there is a really limited amount of naughty pictures you can make with a layered emblem system. Remember Halo Reach? A middle finger and 8 with a horizontal fading background are the only naughty images that I can remember. And the Webteam doesn't need to "screen" for them, they can just let the trolls find them, ban their account, and then lock their finding.

And again, the Webteam obviously doesn't care, anyway. We've already had Halo emblem avatars, with the middle finger and everything. What makes you think they would let us use the Halo emblems as avatars, but not a similar forum avatar system that is not different, except for being much more convenient?

I think he means more like the halo system. Where we have a present jumble of options to choose from, so that we can customize only to a degree....

I like this idea OP, I very much do....

Maybe I can finally get my spinning moustache....

Please, read posts, before you reply to them.

Here's a summary: I never mentioned avatar police or "screening".
The Webteam doesn't worry about "inappropriate emblems" (note: Halo emblems).

I still want those title-specific avatars we talked about a while ago.

That would be pretty -blam!- awesome.
