This is more of a question than a request, because I'm sure there is a reason.

Given that 75% of the posts in this forum are "please change my avatar to this", why don't we have the ability to change our avatars to our own liking?

If it's for preventing offensive or spammy material, seems like you have the same problem with images in general.

If it's for preventing animated or poorly-sized/cropped avatars, you might have a few of those to deal with but probably fewer than the requests you get in this forum.

Maybe allow members with a certain post count to do their own?

Meh, not a big deal, just wondering.

Given the family-friendly nature of this forum, don't you think a set of human eyes is appropriate in the process?

Using that logic all photos should be be screened for content before they're posted.

As I said, it's really not a big deal to me; I've only submitted one avatar in the 9 years I've been on this forum. I just offered up the suggestion for maybe a little less work for the mods.

Try and post an inappropriate photo and see how long before somebody notices, reports it, it gets deleted and your account goes POOF.

Don't bother with the hour hand...
