Can your avatar affect your rep? - Page 2

I judge people more by the content of their posts than their avatar.

That post, for example, is one I completely disregarded. This is mostly due to the atrocious grammar and spelling, both of which indicated "noob."

EDIT- mega ninja-ed holy crap

I don't really focus on avatars as much as the actual post.. But avatars are a quick way to identify people.

If you want people to treat you with respect, have an appropriate avatar and legible posts. That's pretty much it.

I am not worthy.........

At a quick glance, avs matter. Otherwise, post content is what truly matters.

**Tasselfoot** · 01-28-2007, 07:57 PM

i've had the same avatar for over 3.5 years.... wonder if anyone can name BOTH of the other avatars i've used. neither was used for more than about 2 days.

dawg4321 · 01-28-2007, 08:01 PM

probably a pokemon? I didn't know if you were involved in that. And you guys are right that post content matters, but if someone has a stupid avatar, i usually just skip their posts. I already have for a few in this thread lol. And yes sry for messing up my title with affect guido but i got it right in the thread itself.

Pichu_XP · 01-28-2007, 08:07 PM

The Pokemon thing lasted much more than 2 days, I don't think that's it.

I was just saying that thats what I immidiately think. If people can prove that they are not a noob, then good for them.

First impressions are a big thing.

Effect can be a verb too, as in to effect a change.

Exactly. Using TGB as an example. As soon a you get a GBin ban, it's extremely hard to go back in with being repetitively mocked and flamed.

I change my avatar regularly; sometimes it makes it a little difficult to quick search for my own posts, but whatever. I don't think the avatar really has anything to do with who one is besides the color I associate with the name.

ieatyourlvllol · 01-28-2007, 08:20 PM

For newbies to the forum, I use avatars as a rough estimate as to their personality. For veterans, I mainly use them as quick identification.

Some people have awesome avatars, though.

Yes, but inappropriate avatars (with immature themes such as "owned" animations) and unoriginal avatars (I remember someone copied dore's avatar) seem to put a red flag screaming "I'm a noob!" when I see it.

I'm pretty sure one of them had some guy/girl with a heart drawn onto him/her.

As for this topic, I'm not sure what you would think of me by my avatar, other than my simfiles.

I know one of yours was that guy (cop?) with the sunglasses, pointing at you.

I think...

**chickendude** · 01-28-2007, 08:27 PM

There was a picture of tass' head rotating

I remember that one!
There must have been a poker player too for that TWG
maybe?

anyway, whenever I see a user, I imagine that their avatar is sitting at their computer. I imagine them as their avatar walking around.
ex. Pumble is Mr Game and Watch
Tokzic has a green backgroud behind him always
pichu is a pokemon

etc. etc.

By yours, I can tell you played Baulder's Gate

I know you for playing SM unmodded. Your avatar just helps me identify you.
