I don't know, and neither does anyone but the mods, I'm sure.
Obviously, the point you were subtly trying to make with that question was that there weren't very many, but you don't know that for a fact. For all we know, a good portion of the users that uploaded custom avatars could've tried to upload inappropriate ones.
Frankly, in matters such as these, even if only one person does it, there's a problem.
Here's a totally hypothetical situation.
Let's say the mods did not go through the process of checking all custom avatar uploads. One person uploaded something inappropriate. One kid saw it. That kid's parents, who happen to command a great level of respect in the Pokemon community, were looking over his shoulder.
And just like that, PokeGym's credibility is down.
It is because of this possibility that the mods must screen the custom avatars, and it is because the mods must screen the custom avatars that we do not have frequent avatar days.
Ok say we've established that they do check the avatars before/right when they're put on the site. Well a little while ago I uploaded my profile picture which just happened to be a pic of Azure Kite from .hack. I'm sure I could find some pretty inapropriate pictures on the site I got the pic from if I searched hard enough. So whats to stop other people from doing that with they're profile pics too? My friend I'm afraid worrying about something like that happening is pointless because hopefully the mods would check it before someone saw it but your story could still happen even though its a slim possibility. If something like that is going to happen it might have already and if not it can still. I understand your thinking but theres already a chance of something like that happening with profile pictures and more frequent custom avatar days will barely if at all change the risk of something along the lines of your story happening even if it is pretty farfetched.(no fun intended) I'm not saying the mods don't do a good job I'm saying there are only so many mods and people can only do so well.
There's a HUGE difference between avatars and profile pictures.
Profile pictures are very seldom seen, and chances are that when someone sees them first it won't be a little kid. They report it to the mods, no problem. The situation I described in my last post is possible, but much less likely.
Avatars are seen by anyone that looks at a thread containing any of your post.
In short;
Avatars matter. Profile pictures don't.
Knowing where Deneb stores his candy makes it all the more awesome.No no, not really...
But if we ever do have another one, I wouldn't mind changing my avatar to either Gendo with Kamina's glasses or Black Getter...
...or Deneb candy, but that's obvious seeing that Deneb is awesome...
I hate to break it to you man, but that ain't exactly genius level material (seeing as there's a nice, pretty button that says "Quote"). As a side note, using "like most" in that context with "genius" doesn't make sense.Azure Kite said:Yes I'm not exactly a genius like most. But it could still happen....
i think only Marril should be allowed to update her avatar, and only so she can put more orthan pokemon in her avatar :thumb:
Oh come on, you were all thinking it and silently agreeing...
And knowing that one can get away with it too at anime conventions (assuming they cosplay as Deneb) makes it even more awesomeKnowing where Deneb stores his candy makes it all the more awesome.
