If avatars aren't allowed because of possible trolling, then why are signatures allowed?

What are trolls

I know they said no, but why? It'll have the same time restrictions as signatures, only for Scratchers and it'll be capped at a certain size. It'd also be taken from your main page, not amazingly hard to do and I don't see how peope could use them to troll.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Actually, they've said it's because it would add time to page loading time, and also be rather pointless.

They could be turned off in the options, and it helps me see who's saying something most of the time.

@Chrischb I read it too!

There's a sticky at the very top of the forums saying "Read This Before Suggesting Anything" and forum avatars is on the list of suggestions that aren't going to happen.

Besides, you could display your forum avatar in your sig. Just go to your user page, and then right click your profile pic. Copy-paste the URL and in your signature put the URL with the img tags:

Example:
[img]profile pic URL goes here[/img]

Hope this helps. 

They would make the forums laggy.
Didn't you read Chrischb's sticky, READ THIS BEFORE SUGGESTING ANYTHING? He mentions this idea in it. If you really want an avatar in the forums, just put it in your signature.

Well I hope I'm not being a troll or anything,but I tried to put in my avatar,but there is a link with this in the url,and it's static/icons/ .How do I get that link for my avatar to go in my signature? I tried in my signature down there,but all it does is show a url. PLEASE HELP!!! 

Go to your userpage, then right-click on the avatar. Then click properties. A popup will come up. Copy where it says "address (URL)". Go to the forums, then click profile, and go to personality. Paste what you just copied and put the [img]tag before and[/img] after.

to be honest, avatars are very visually cluttering, and take up way too much window space.

And they can make pages take forever to load.
