can we make our own avatars from our own paintings we made on the computer? please reply if you like this idea. Please help spread the word so the Armor games employees will add this. thank you!
to add on, if we did, half the people here would have porn, penises, and the like all over the armtar, it's a right that has been abused
If that were true, all of the sites on the internet whose icon rules aren't stupid, would be like that. Heck, I know of a kid's site were you can use your own image for your icon. You've obviously never been on any website other than here.

erm, i have, but really, this place is small and the mods have trouble dealing with things as is, why make their job any harder?

If there was a way to submit your picture to an AG database for it to be confirmed by a higher power, this would be an excellent feature to implement. However, you can almost guarantee that most people aren't going to upload pictures that they've painted.

That doesn't happen very often. I used to be a moderator on a site with a couple hundred thousand members that allowed you to upload your own avatar, and I only saw one person the entire time with a picture that fits that description. Considering also that it wasn't even a PG-13 site, it's safe to say that it's probably less likely to happen on AG where the members are slightly more mature.
It's more likely that people would upload pictures with "inappropriate" words or some sort of drug/alcohol reference (pictures that were to fall under that category would have to be deemed "inappropriate" at the moderators' own discretion).
Plus, there's also the issue of people reporting custom armatars because they personally find them offensive in some way. As in, if a user uploads a picture of a pentagram as their avatar (I'm not going to call them "armatars" at this point because they wouldn't be "armor avatars" if they were just random pictures off the web), some hardcore Christian may take offense to it. If they go as far as to report it, it would just create an entirely new issue of whether or not an image can be deemed "selectively inappropriate".
To be honest, I don't think the biggest problem would be inappropriate pictures as much as people uploading images that does not belong to them. As far as I am aware, that has been the biggest challenge and thus the biggest reason for skipping the custom armatar area.
The images has to be original and made by (a/the) user, and not simply something picked up on the internet, as is the case for many avatars outside of AG.
