Hah. Ok. I can understand the annoyance. I personally think the benefit outweighs that (especially when you still deny people putting images in their signatures, wtf is with that anyway) but it's not my say! Thanks for the replies.

You are wrong, wrong, wrong.
Also, you have a stupid name.
And you smell.

Maybe my post was worded a little funny? I don't want sig images, those are retarded.

You really have to ask? Google 'anime forum' and click a random one. Witness the visual bloat in peoples' sigs.

Personally I like the idea of allowing avatars as long as the animated ones are forbidden and max size is reasonable.

I agree on all points. Doesn't sound like it's going to happen.

Well the thing with avatars is that their actual contribution to the forum would be something ranging from 'totally pointless' to 'just a bit of fun'. And that just doesn't warrant the annoyance it will bring by 'clever' people who try to stretch the rules. Nor does it warrant the distracting qualities of ill fitting imagery next to a serious discussion.
Sure most people would try to carefully select their avatar. But some will fail utterly. Ages round here vary from mid-teen to 71 (at least), and though I'm sure we're all young at heart, I'm also sure a lot of us would get fed up with the empty-but-loud concoction of the next 14 year old who thinks he's almost done growing up.
If you feel you need a picture to express yourself. Go ahead, make one, or select one -as sadly will be more likely for most.
Do something with it, be creative. Set it in you profile. Make a website. Setup a blog. Whatever.
But round these parts, I'd rather see you contribute to the discussions at hand. An avatar won't improve your contributions any. If anything, it'll distract.

images in their signatures
I can understand avatars (as i assign thous sometimes to ttlg forum members = aka i see no need for ttlg-side support) - but i CAN'T understand images in signatures (even text is only ok in ~1% of the cases where signature exists [hm... actually, most posts themselves are junk too. {like this one}])
