I'm going to go against the moderator consensus and say I liked the idea of having custom avatars, but I understand that it's a major PITA brought on by troublemakers (intentional or inadvertant) who believe they are immune from the AUP (I am NOT singling anyone out). And while all the mods can delete photos out of photopost, I believe there are only two people who can actually delete avatars directly in people's profiles. So it becomes a nightmare for ostensibly one person.
