I would love to be able to change my avatar picture for one of my character`s.
It would feel a lot more personal, and like that we also get to see and associate each persons name to a character or a (non offensive) image they like.

I havent been on the forums for too long but I think I heard they removed avatars because people started using obscene pictures and I was thinking that maybe we could work something out!
For example:

*Picture can only be changed once a week/month.
*Picture will only appear on your profile if it has been approved by a mod.

It is most likely that this will never happen but lets still try xD.

    I would like to be able to choose one of my own characters for my avatar, and for the details of that picture to change as my character changes. A few simple choices, such as showing headgear or not, and showing at least part of the current armor set where it would be visible in a 'head shot'.

    While we were still in beta and could use whatever picture we wanted my avatar was of the statue of Azura in Skyrim. I miss her. I would use her again. As it is, it is nice to see a few more female avatars in the selection but there are still not enough.

    Yes, so have I. The best guess is that they kept their avatar from beta but I was here during beta and mine disappeared when the game went live so I don't know. Maybe they were very early beta.

    Ordinarily, I would be all for this. However...

    --> Picture will only appear on your profile if it has been approved by a mod.

    Mods have enough busywork on their hands without having to scrutinize forum pictures to make sure they aren't subtly offensive or something.

    I can deal with not being "unique," and I have no desire to place an extra burden upon the moderators, so I will vote "No."

    With the limited upload/change and mod approval, offensive pictures will be much less likely to appear. "Much less" rather than null because, humans are such fickle creatures...

    I couldn't certainly see there being a problem with pictures in general, but if they could limit the picture to your actual characters through the software then it could work. They wouldn't even have to approve it.

    It was just an idea of something that "might" give us our unlimited choice back when it comes to pictures =D

    We could upload our own pictures during beta, that was kinda cool. So yeah, I still would like to be able to use an own one :)
    The odd thing is that there are still a handful of people here (during the 2 years after beta, and last time I saw it just a few weeks ago) which have an own picture as a profile picture, not sure how this got "stuck" in there. They're lucky^^

    I don't think they gave a reason but I think it was probably the potential for people to post unpleasant and offensive images if they gave us a free choice of what we use as our avatar.

    The usual business of a few morons spoiling things for everyone else.

    I couldnt agree more... thankfully there is this avatar now that I really like, but no real female avatar that matches my characters or RP style in the slightest :(.
