Would you like to be able to have a picture of yourself in your avatar?

[Nixt]

It's been debated and questioned many times, and there has always been a mixed response. Therefore, I'm curious to know if members would like to see this change implemented:

Would you like to be able to have a picture of yourself in your avatar?

Please note that this poll, regardless of the result, will not necessarily result in us making any changes.

[Stryderman]

There is no poll :rolleyes:


But i vote no genuinly because i wouldnt do it myself and couldnt see why you would want to do it yourself.

Patience, darling. You have to post the poll after you post the thread ;).

Shh just because i saw your fail without the poll :P

[Orangeesh]

Don't really see the need... if you really want to see what someone looks like then goto the 'post a pic of yourself thread thingy'.

[hah]

i bet all the ugly people voted no :@ :L

i dont really see why people are against seeing other people in avatars... they probs peado on them in papoy

CALLIN ME UGLY!?

[Nemo]

i dont really mind.

[kk.]

I voted indifferent, due to me not minding if people did it, but I'd never use it.

[Special]

Yes - but people would fake a picture anyway

[Circadia]

indifferent dont relli care tbh

[Eoin]

would be good to see who your talking to i guess.
even if it was allowed, you wouldnt HAVE to post a picture of yourself if you dont want to

[nat965]

No, I don't like to look at ppl in avatars, even though we have an option to disable them.

[Black_Apalachi]

i bet all the shallow people voted yes :@ :L

[Immenseman]

I've voted no and I'm glad to see the majority have too. I just think it looks horrible, lol.

[kk.]

the other thread should be reopened. It looked like management had given up arguing because they had no definitive answer as to why we're not allowed, and how they could tell if it was actually you, or just a random person

also, i agree that the title is worded wrongly, as well as basically saying

The results of this thread does not matter, we're not changing the rules

Can we start this thread over again? It's misleading and useless. As Barmi said in the other thread, people are voting for whether or not they want themselves in an avatar. That means nothing :/ The poll should revolve around having pictures of people in avatars full stop. I won't have myself in my avatar, but I don't care if someone else has themselves in their avatar.

So yeah, pretty pointless poll tbh :/

[today]

Most of the users voted know what the poll actually means though

[-:Undertaker:-]

Why is the poll worded like this?

It is worded as though 'would you personally put a picture of yourself in your avatar' as opposed to 'do you think members should be allowed to put a picture of themselves in their avatar' - with this wording it will be knocked down as the majority will not wish to put a picture of themselves in their avatar. I see no problem with allowing people to have a picture of themselves in their avatar, whats it got to do with me if they choose to/choose to not have a picture?

Someone's already pointed out regarding the poll wording dan lol.

Oh i'm a bit slow, tired. :(

[Immenseman]

lols!!! "THE POLL ISN'T GOING THE WAY I WANTED IT TOO" re-word it NOW!!

it's fine as it is btw

[Hecktix]

the poll says "be able to have a picture of yourself in your avatar"

not "would you like to have a picture of yourself in your avatar"

I think the votes are just showing the opinions which have come about every time this question has been asked.

[-:Undertaker:-]

lols!!! "THE POLL ISN'T GOING THE WAY I WANTED IT TOO" re-word it NOW!!

Or "THE POLLS GOING THE WAY I WANT IT TOO SO DONT CHANGE IT!!" - its obviously wrongly worded and is having an effect on the outcome, why would people be opposed to other members having their own avatars how they want them anyway?

[today]

we should generally just make a faq with this question, with the answer always no.

[Immenseman]

why am i against it? because i want sierks wishes to be respected. makes the forum look tacky. i don't want to have to endure other people. there is a thread for it. if you go in there you're perfectly aware you might see people that make you sick. i don't want to have a little bit of vomit in my mouth everytime i see some users post.

i have vomit when i see ur sig babe. :(

[Hecktix]

To add, if the majority of users wouldn't want to put their picture as their avatar, whats the point in allowing it for a small group of members?

Why fix what isn't broken?

Other people on here have complained about the amount of pictures of Zac Efron and co. in signatures and avatars - people who use Habbox Forum a lot more than sierk does. It seems to me like a lot of people on here like to stop other users having something because they personally don't want to use it.

Jake generally speaks for the forum though on this subject

That's precisely what I don't want this forum to turn into.

Generally it's a forum, there's a thread to post yourself, and just have facebook in ya sig if you want people to perv on you that much god.

so whats the difference between having my avatar, and a person adding their own picture?

[Immenseman]

yeah, you look at the thread you look at the poll

i thought you liked UKIP, if they were to come to power and do all their referendums, the outcome might not be what you think.

[today]

so whats the difference between having my avatar, and a person adding their own picture?
None, if your ugly.. (joke.)

Cause one avatar is alright, but if it was allowed then there'll be alot more then one ugly avatar lol.

[-:Undertaker:-]

so whats the difference between having my avatar, and a person adding their own picture?

There isn't a difference, well I suppose "some members may not like it for unknown reasons" or "the majority wouldn't use it anyway" is the so-called 'difference'. Some people on here just need to relax and just let things happen rather than treating & analysing the smallest and most unimportant of decisions like a scientific body would.

If the poll has the outcome I don't like then I accept that; it doesn't mean I can't put across my opinion/argument or challenge why members are not allowed to have their picture as their avatar. With opinion polling comes debate & discussion.

[Immenseman]

cuz i know you're fit so it doesn't count

[kk.]

;l omg
but thats the thing, anyone can have any avatar. all the people who voted yes or indifferent could get a really ugly person and shove it in their avatar, and youd be in at least a worse situation than you would have been if you allow people to post themselves..

exactly. :)

yh but that doesnt come into this :(
my point is, everyone can have whatever avatar they like, providing its not of themselves (or anotehr member). If everyone was to choose something disgusting, then surely thats the 'worst case scenario' that everyones saying, people having avatars they dont want to look at?


i think the above has proved my point well. Theres no difference between my avatar, and someone who would have an avatar of themselves

[Immenseman]

r u calling that guy u found on google (my cousin) ugly? :l

Cause not everyone's gonna go find munter's and have them as avatars, where as if you can uplaod your own pics everyone/most will 'for the joy of a new feature'

yh (he kinda looks like you actually lmaoooo)
jks tho


Cause not everyone's gonna go find munter's and have them as avatars, where as if you can uplaod your own pics everyone/most will 'for the joy of a new feature'
but theres nothing stopping them. which is also my point. Anyone can have anything as their avatar, even ugly things, yes things ;l.

We have the best pic tracers!!! Scottish can find u. Already been done

mehh they're just stupid ***** if they did.

Like I said (can't remember in which thread), you shouldn't be allowed to ave an avatar of anyone who isn't famous because there's always the chance they will register on the forum (or even just browse the forum) and be offended. I don't see why the rule of 'it is not allowed to have other members in your avatar' should not apply to 'other people' full stop.


lols!!! "THE POLL ISN'T GOING THE WAY I WANTED IT TOO" re-word it NOW!!

it's fine as it is btw

LMAO exactly :L

couldn't care less.

I'm not gonna argue about the nature of the poll itself - as in the answers we have received. But seriously, can everyone stop being so ******* pretentious about the way it's worded? Clearly I mean in general would you mind if people had it as their avatars?! You know I love you Ryan, but seriously why pick on the most stupid and tiny thing ever? Regardless of how I worded it, the result will ultimately be the same ;s

This is what I do not get, what is there to be offended by? :S

[TickTockTickTock]

No, I don't want to be browsing the forum and accidentally click out of the sports section to then be introduced to some **** ugly thirteen year old girl with a forehead the size of a truck staring at me who looks like she's been shot by a makeup gun.

[Black_Apalachi]

Because everyone keeps saying how ugly the person in his avatar is lol

[buttons]

LOLOLOLOLLOL HARSH
um yeah i always thought forums who did it looked childish and unprofessional :S can't explain but in my view i don't want to post on a forum where i can openly see a picture of someone whenever they post. at least i can pretend we have half serious people on here who aren't actually geeks. not being funny and it's probably only me who feels this way but someones appearance can say a lot of things and not always in a good way. if someone looked like a total fool i wouldn't be able to take what they're saying seriously and would obviously make digs at them. keep it how it is and actually be different from those forums, i like posting on here because it's not as personal as forums like chf.
