Topic: Do you like to see an Avatar Campaign? [POLL] - page 4. (Read 3161 times)
If avatar campaigns will be implemented by any service out there, I think it would be too annoying to see the same avatar over and over again. If campaign managers would accept their logo to be placed beside the original user's avatar, then I think it wouldn't be a problem at all. I personally wouldn't participate to an avatar campaign because I don't want my avatar to be removed (it's kinda cute lol) and at the same time, it's annoying to see that each and every user has the same avatar as yours.

One important point, as said in my above post, many are voting yes, simply taking into consideration that if found annoying it can be turned off. If a large majority of the active members of the community turns it off or blocks it, avatar campaigns won't be efficient anymore.
You can say that about signatures. Many already block them but the campaigns do fine. You also wont be able to tell how many users have them blocked or not but I think the vast majority of people will keep them on like they probably do with signatures.

The participant can participate in an Avatar campaign at the same time block an Avatar. So, I suppose there is no much use starting an Avatar campaign? (lol, that is what I would do if I find it annoying)

I am debating against
Adding a logo to the right will work if the Avatar is square. Otherwise, it will need a lot of tweakings, probably isn't worth the effore.
Blocking the Avatar beats the purpose of the campaign. I am sure many will.
The income, I think will be much lower than the signature, provided there is no competition. If a big player. like Da Dice, bit-x or PD adopts it, there will be fierce competitions, and many will find it annoying and ultimately block it. Avatar campaigns won't be efficeient anymore.
For me, it is linked to my identity. I won't be wearing a logo as my Avatar, unless the pay is some 0.001BTC per post (at current BTC$ price)
(I can still block it, can't I?)
I think (for example) marcotheminer or other sig campaign maintainers will allow to keep our personal avatar but we should add a bit-x "logo" to the right side of it, and this way for me it's ok. I don't think it is annoying (more than the signature) and if someone don't want to see them, he can always use an extension (like ad block) for block specific avatars.

Sure signature haters will keep hating this aswell. . As long as there is an income I dont see any reason why not?

Voted Yes. I personally don't mind having an Avatar campaign but yeah, a person like me who recognizes a member by his/her avatar, it might be tough now as all may have the same Avatar. However, it's much better than the indecent Avatars we already have.

Yes, it would be good to see an Avatar Campaign but at the same time it isn't so good to see advertising in every part of this forum 
You already see it in every part of the forum via both ads and signatures.
At the end the ads in this forum is not a bad thing or am I wrong? Because it brings (every day) a lot of visits and new users here and everyone make (forum + sites) their "profit"; an avatar campaign may bring a lot of visits (and obviously spam) but if the rate will be fixed I don't think there will be a problem.

Anyone can disable avatar right ?
Well this forum ..gonna not be same again just like early years

How is it any different than disabling sigs? If someone disables avatars or sigs it doesn't effect how you see the forum.
Yes you are right but as I said previously there will not be a problem if the "promotional ad" go to the left or right side of the avatar. Everyone will keep his personal avatar and no one will be wrong to identify the user (remember there is always the username).
Having an additional image advert edited onto the avatar won't be very effective from an advertisers point of view nor do I think it will become popular. I just think marco wanted to keep his current avatar as that's the one he was known by whilst promoting Bit-x. Maybe he will change it in the future though.
Why would you need one? You can see other's that have them. Would you find them annoying if multiple people have the same avatar (if you can envisage)?
Multiple having same avatars is annoying to me. If enrollee's can put like Marco does, it will be okay.
But what about signatures? Many find the same signatures annoying. There are options to turn either or both off. Maybe my suggestion about being able to block individual sigs and avatars will get implemented also.
I find / found that Avatars helped identify users without having to read their username against each post. You can see the shape and coloring of the avatar without even looking at it. So everyone running the same one will be annoying.

If someone greedy enough, Having avatar campaign is a good option since he can make another additional payout.
But the worst case is many will be get annoyed.

I agree they're good for identifying people but I wouldn't really find it annoying. For those with the same avatars you would just zone out on them and go back to the old way of identifying users by their names. Maybe being able to ignore certain users's avatars like I suggested would be good for those who are annoyed by them.

However, you might have to hire a part time designer for editing enrollee's image.

I don't have an avatar so, I don't know how it is annoying.

Where is the middle 'not bothered' option? Also hard to say whether you would find it annoying or not when there isn't really any avatar campaigns yet (or at least not any that will make an impact), but I'm sure those who find signatures annoying will feel the same about this.
