Title: Selective avatar blocking
Post by: Laldiien on January 31, 2007, 10:48:32 am

Is there a way to selectively block an avatar? I found where I can turn them all off, no problem, but I'd like to know if there is a way to just avoid one specifically. If not, no worries. I'll turn them all off.

I don't think so, sorry.

If someone has an avatar you find offensive or annoying try sending them a polite PM asking them to change it and clearly stating why.

If the avatar is blatantly offensive please bring it to the attention of the GM team.

Nah, I'm not one to ask/tell people they have to change to suit me. Yes, there is as avatar that I find annoying, but I can fix it by turning avatars off. Others may find it amusing or clever. I appreciate the suggestion and the spirit in which it was intended, thank you.

Now it's bugging me. I wonder who it is?

It's not mine is it? *eyes his avatar*

Really, I think a good number of people would be glad to change their avatar if they knew it was annoying to some people. Things sometimes look different on other screens or you don't realize it or something.

If you use a good ad filtering plugin (like Adblock on Firefox, The Internets Explorer might have something like it) you can flag the individual avatar and have it blocked.

I think it would be a more recent one; honestly, there's one that really bugged me, too, but I haven't seen that user post in a while. Either the av's changed, or they've just left; either's fine with me.

Probably a different one than the one Laldiien is speaking of.
