If that were true, the feature would still exist.

It didn't add anything to Flyertalk.

Not that I have heard of, but then the moderators are so efficient that I rarely get to read the juicy discussion comments before they are disappeared.

I have a tasteful avatar that I use on other Fora. It is not a "head shot" and I would not post a "head shot" if such a restriction was placed on the feature.

We already have a FlyerTalk Photo Gallery. Members can place images there and link to them in their .sig if they really want to do that.
