My avatar on most forums is this:

Thats easy to deal with. They hand out one week bans for typing [censored] too much in a post so Im sure something like that would constitute a lifetime ban.

I have them off here because they are all either the military avatar or the donator avatar and it confuses me cause I use them as identifiers for people and they all have the same soooo...
Everywhere else I have them on.
 
I like avatars because I can identify posters without going through the lengthy process of actually reading their names. The military veteran ones are confusing, because you're all the same person to me. I'm a veteran and I don't think I want one.

Bingo
 
Seems like a waste of bandwidth, at least for me, they add little to no value to a forum.

As much as I like seeing scantily clad females with bouncy parts, I'm told there are other websites made just for that.

I dont know where you guys go but Ive never seen that used as an avatar on a vehicle forum. With the exception of one particular 'rebellion' site formed due to a group feeling like the rules enforcement was a bit heavy handed on one of the sites I visit, so there...were no rules there essentially unless you [censored] off the owners/mods.
Its a dumb argument for the lack of avatars, cause its easy enough to enforce. You could make the argument that it might be around for a bit until a mod sees it, but some bot could come on here and dump 30 threads full of straight porn in the wee hours of the morning when there are none. Weve already had a bot not too long ago advertising false identities for sale. Those posts stayed for a hour or two.

You could do it on the Accord site and was easy to do. But the site was sold to Autoguide and is a sea of advertisements. As a mod there's supposed to be less of them but I still find it super annoying.
