I would love to see custom avatars.

I think the mods would have to take a pretty hardline against anything that is out of place to prevent reading the forums becoming an endless stream of bikini clad women and weed leaves tho.

Noted.

Thanks for considering this. I think personal avatars help giving yourself an individual note in any forum.

Without them, having avatars feels pointless. :)

Furthermore, I would pay platinum to have custom avatars in the game as well!

That might be a great way to sell some more platinum. :)

+1 but only for warframe related avatars...like this standard one we all have...they should just add more avatars of all other warframes...and make some different of every warframe...

I think I was being perfectly reasonable, not ironic nor hypocritical at all. It doesn't always have to be either black or white, this is the Warframe forums, thus it should be warframe-related even where the avatars are concerned. But even then it's still a trivial matter to me personally, I'm fine either way, I just prefer if it was warframes and not "random stuff".

But then I don't post memes and Reddit-ish stuff every now and then either, so what do I know anyway, right? :P

Can't argue against semantic fallacies.

PS: just so we're clear, I was quite clearly talking about common decency in the bit you quoted, not how the forums should be. And you're still rude.

+1...dont want to see naked girls or other S#&$ as avatars on this forum...that would make it kinda looking unserious and we could identify all the kids behind the monitor :D ...just give us the feeling that all people here are serious and dont pornfreaks or catlovers...you can find everywhere that S#&$...and as it is at the moment make that forum to something special and as i said...we just need more game related avatars...dont make it here at least...it would also dont fit to the background here...

I'm a serious pornfreak and catlover and I'm offended.

I agree, having custom avatars is very silly. I would like some Warframe themed one's, however!

this made my day i hope they use steam servers for better hosting in update 7

I wonder how much steam integration there'll be.

Like if you'll be able to log in with steam, import steamfriends, join friends directly from the friends menu, etc etc

Well I could understand them not doing custom Avatars since it gets uploaded to their database and takes up space. I would howerver like a bigger selection of Avatars I could select from. Like the different warframes or something.

W.I.P!

About the batch of Warframe avatars you were talking before)

Can you tell us more?

How many will be available?

Were you thinking about some simple flash-based avatar creation tool, so we can change colors and angle of the heads to create unique avatars?

I know it will require more work than giving us 10-100 simple pictures (the more the better of course), but that way we can at least be unique in the forum - and let's face it, maybe it shouldn't be this way, but it's all about being unique to enhance the identification of a user in forum. To keep this "system" working, there is a need for unique avatars or a ton of premade ones.

Plan for Avatars:

We create a batch of Warframe related images for community to choose from.

I understand the need for moderation of images such as no pornography but I have a idea to help with this: Have a post requirement for custom user avatars like 50 posts and for anyone with under 50 posts they can select from the default images? (sorry for the extra spaces i'm a little ocd about when words get cut of xD. let me know if I need to elaborate.

Are you implying that people with high post counts can't be obnoxious or inappropriate? How so?

Eh, I'm kind of on both sides for this argument.

I'd love to use a custom avatar that I use on most forums. Plus it's always nice to be able to identify someone instantly by just seeing their avatar.

However, almost every forum I've been on is just flooded with avatars that completely distract you from the actual topic and the posts.

Either way, I don't mind how DE handles this, both options have pros and cons.

I could go for some custom avatars on the forums, but I understand if they want to keep things warframe related on the official forums. It's not so much for me that I would become enraged and furious at someone's avatar choice but more that keeping avatars warframe-related helps to keep things on-topic as it hammers home that these are the warframe forums and you're supposed to talk about warframe-related things here.

Saying they're for identification purposes is silly. It may be easy to identify people with pictures, but we have names for that purpose.

Well some static avatars would be nice, but I think that if you wanted gifs for avatars that would be a bit much, I mean if everyone had gifs as avatars it would overload the page. So I think that at least 100x100 static avatars should be the way to go. Maybe people could pay a little extra for gifs or larger avatar squares? The system of 100x100 or less static avatars and paying extra for larger and animated avatars seem to work on other forums as far as I know.
