I think it should all be automated on a gradual scale instead of being all-or-nothing. Your avatar size can be automatically maintained proportional to your post count, with a rate of 10 pixels per post. After your first post you can have a 3x3 pixel avatar. After 10 posts you have 100 pixels to work with, so that's 10x10. After 250 posts you have 2500 pixels, or 50x50.
You could set your avatar to any image within the size you have currently earned, and set it to stay as is or scale proportionally larger as you post.
Mr. Anderson's avatar would be 452x452 pixels! Hmmm, maybe that rate is a bit high. 🙂

Well, it turns out i have 260 posts. This thread is the only reason I bothered to look. In all honesty, I wonder why people place so much on the need for an avatar. If you are really here for the community, I would think that pictures and titles and post counts would be something that you fall into as a sort of "oh wow, have i really spent that much time here?" type of thing.

Adjust it to 1 pixel per post tracking clockwise around. This would put Mr. Anderson at roughly 143x143. You could set an avatar and have it slowly revealed as you post. Newbies get to start off with a dot at their first post, but they get to choose the color of the dot...

😱 With my 12 inch PowerBook I'd pretty much only get to see an avatar and no text!

Ahhh but I love my BabyBook.
Blame Dixons for my lack of ACD...

I like me avatar. It is nice. It fits my personality quite well, I think. Kinda bland, but yet it reasures me knowing that I will have the same one daily.
And to whoever asked about demis getting avatars, I have 300 posts, therefore, no avatar.

Not that this would ever happen, but i'd be cool if next to your post count, it displayed your average words per post. Instead of 500 posts you'd need something like 25,000 words. It'd certainly cut down on the one liner spam posts. Of course this would cause it's own problems such as Charles Dickenson-like posts (He got paid by the word) e.g: The new iMac, being clad in a luminously beautiful casing, exibiting all those properties which a computer ought while concurrently excluding all of those properties which a computer ought not to have, was nice. But in the end, I think it's pretty good the way it is. I'm not sure I'll ever hit 500, but maybe oneday.
