For example, if someone posts twice (because they didn't know which was the better spot to post), or if someone posts a question that was discussed in the past (and they didn't know there was a search function or they weren't able to find what they wanted with the search), or they ask something basic and feel that they get teased or belittled, etc....

... One last thought. If memory serves correctly this guy rockrider is a user who got the boot long long ago and re-registered under the rockrider name. He has a bad habit of bitching for no good reason, so take his views with a grain of salt.
Nope... we aint opening that can of worms. The uniqueness of the avatars on DRN is that they are personal... at least I try to make them that way, ie. Tony Eeds, the Lifesaver. By allowing people to make their own we also expose ourselves to the headache of reformating different sizes, file formats and... ummm... undesireable or inappropriate designs. Ultimately it is Okie's call but I think he'll back me on this one.Originally posted by mrmodine
However, it might make things easier if all subscribers could make an avatar for themselves. I know on "other" sites people are allowed to make their own.

One quick thought on the Avatars.
I have keys to the gym I've been working out at for the last 24 years. Yanno how I got them? I worked (and I do mean WORKED) at 18 powerlifting meets, repaired and welded a bunch of equipment for the place, wrote the program that runs the membership list, showed up everytime the gym used to flood to help clean up, and help police the place to make sure the people who are in there actually have a valid card and don't abuse the equipment. In other words I EARNED MY KEYS.

That goes against the idea that the Internet is free and people should get what they want because they want it.

The Avatars are unique the way DRN does it. I consider them to be so important that you will never see me nominating anyone who is a friend / riding buddy. They have to earn it by their actions on DRN, not b/c they know somebody.
