Honestly could we also have a vetting system. Regardless of if we use them or not, if mods ok something than anyone on the site can use it. So as an example I submit 20 photos of red army soldiers in various poses or circumstances etc, and whenever those get approved, they are then okayed for everyone henceforth. That way we dont have all new emotes being avatar wishlists

I like this idea a lot. Would stop trolls from putting shock pics as their avatar.

What if your avatar was automatically a burning American flag emoji and couldn’t be changed until like, x amount of posts so that trolls had to use the default anti-america one as they wouldn’t be able to change it before their ban?

New users get randomly assigned an avatar from a pool of extremely subversive, anti-american pics until they cross a certain post/upbeared comment score.

Sounds like flairs back on the sub, it’s a good idea.

You could do custom flair though, I definitely had a custom flair

Custom flair was text, I think, right?

Going to one of those sites that would generate gifs of text effects and getting one of block letters on fire that say Xx_Plagued_Soul_669_xX for my signature

This, but unironically. Avatars would be messy on a reddit clone but are integral to a classic forum, which is what this site should be.

I’m abstaining my vote because I know this site is remaining a clone and because I’d rather have a set of avatar options instead of custom avatar, and I assume custom is what would happen.

Oh, I’m not being ironic. I legit would prefer we be an old school style forum. I also think it would just work better on the whole and be a cool thing we do that no one else does.

I’m for it, but we better not have like 200 accounts with Stalin pfps. I reserve the right to treat all those people as the same person.

Is there a band called The Stalin Collective?


I don’t know any Russia. Stalin was Man of Steel so what would The Collective of Steel or The Steel Collective be in Russian?
