I like this, and think it should even be built-in when it becomes possible: don't have a way to look it up, but do have a button that says "permaban whoever bought this avatar".

okay I was losing my mind over this because I don't participate in those discords and had no reason to know, but apparently she had posted about it before and gotten those posts nuked? I guess I must've seen it somewhere on the forums.

I started writing this post about avatars before all this happened but it stands now:

First and foremost - I will shut down the website before I turn off avatar purchases entirely. They've been part of this site for twenty years and are here to stay, forever. If you feel this violates the Geneva convention or whatever other wild exaggeration, please go post on some other website. We have deputized more than 200 mods and IKs to blank offensive avatars and they are downright quick about it.

I am willing to make the store change such that people need to log in to buy avatars, and I (and I alone) can see who purchased one. If someone doxxes someone in their avatar, I want to permaban them. But this is not going to be used for avatars that are simply insulting - it�s serious real-life poo poo only. I�m not going to even consider looking one of these up unless it would be an instant-permaban, by my discretion alone. I respect the privacy of the passive-aggressive avatar-buying box and I�m not going to discourage people from buying them by overzealously tattling on them.

If you guys want this feature to work, I must insist - do not create work for the admins by demanding they reveal an avatar buyer over insults. I am not going to allow the website volunteers to waste their time fielding an endless series of demands to know who bought a given avatar. If people can�t help themselves but work themselves into frenzies demanding to know who bought a given avatar, I will revert the change and we�ll go back to the old way. Don�t say you weren�t warned.

Overall, here�s where this stands:

Avatar purchases will not be turned off, ever.

I will require users to log in to buy avatars.

I alone will have access to that information and will use it only in the case of truly heinous avatars that I would instantly permaban someone for, and only when requested by the avatar receiver.

If I feel demands for revealing these are being abused in any way, I will undo this change and they will go back to being anonymous.

This is pretty much the best resolution to the avatar issue possible. Thanks Jeff. Also thanks for... uh, resolving(?) the Boba Pearl thing.

I hope Boba continues to work on their mental health. This is a bummer. Hopefully real time away from the forums really helps them. That was a hosed up thing to do. I'm sad.
