Pictures of ourselves for our Avatars...

Like others have said above, the age thing just wouldn't work as anyone can fake their age and it is unfair to limit it to one age group.

I'm not really too fussed whether people have themselves in their avatars or not but I can see why people would think it looks tacky.

In the poll, whats the diff between:

# No - Pictures should not be allowed for any members
# No - Not even if you are 18

technically the same thing.

Because the OP has specifically requested for 18+ Other members might want and it's multiple choice, anyway
What's your opinion on the thread though?

No - Not even if you are 18 is the same as dont allow anyone - as it means under 18s cant and over 18s cant so ....... yeah.

I voted no.

Okay well I don't think its a big deal but I voted yes.

I'm still not getting the tacky argument.

Look at all the other **** people have as their avatars, look at mine. It's horrible.

I find that a lot of forums just have people posing in their avatars of the avatars of themselves and unless they are incredibly attractive it just doesn't work.

I know people have pics of celebrities posing but they are professionally taken photographs not a mirror image of thirteen year old girls pouting.

The avatar I was using IS professionally taken! Why then should I not be allowed to use it?

If yours would be then that's not saying other people's would be, infact, I am pretty certain the majority wouldn't be.

Cheers babe.

Even though it would never work, how about implementing a rule, all photos have to be decent quality or whatever. And by quality I mean not your typical myspace photo.
