djerikd, I'm curious what the basis is for your "expectation" of minimal extra policing work for the mods should avatars be implemented. It takes time to respond to RBPs, and time to consult with other mods, and time to correspond with the member we're taking action with. Approving avs adds more to the load, and not in a productive way. Members can take it real personally when their posts are removed or edited; imagine how it will be with their personal images! Those discussions will *not* end well.
A simple spam post takes little time to deal with, but I think you severely underestimate how much time it takes to deal with the vast majority of RPBs we get. Just a thot.^
