How does the current system not lead to this? We already have member levels, karma, and post counts to whore for. A new member level system wont change that. The reasoning behind which I still can't fathom. URLs are generally abbreviated with fullstops. So you're looking for "m.o". What's the advantage here? More post-count whoring? If new members are abusing avatars, that's something to deal with on a case-by-case basis. An idea that's been proposed a couple times. I'd like to see it myself, but I'm not sure how high general support is. We may need a plugin for it. Random is just spam (much like the tag system as it currently stands). Again, haven't we reviewed this fact previously? Reggie is still in charge of Talk. . . .
