Thread:Talk:LiquidThreads/Redesign/Avatar visibility/reply (6)

Summing up (mostly) my notes from the little I.R.C. discussion:
 * Visual Space waste, People love minimalism these days
 * Visual Distraction sometimes
 * Personally I love my fluro (example: pink, green) colour avatars, others obsessively don't. Although this does already exist with our sigs, its alot less abus-able.
 * Copy Right issues, People love their avatars that they just grab off random sites
 * Would need a way to restrict/disable users from uploading images after multiple warnings
 * Cross-Wiki, People these days on WMF wikis want cross wiki for everything and anything, which means they would need to be uploaded to a shared repo.
 * Our largest and only(?) cross wiki repo is Commons, which takes a very strict approach in regards to removing copyrighted stuff, which will just induce more moaning.
