Can your avatar affect your rep?

Uh, avatars, right. I don't know, I prefer people's posts before their avatars. I usually think of them as identifying people.

avatars cant really do much for your reputation that i know of.

I also prefer grammar. I dont care what your avatar/pic is just as long as you can type well enough for me to understand what your trying to say because it can be hard to take you seriously

i dont judge by avatar though mine says i really have lost my mind...

I basically start reading someone's post before I look at their avitar, and I usually only look at that if the post is blatantly stupid. Either close-minded or grammatically bogus, and the avitar usually confirms my beliefs of that person in some way. The post comes first though...Unless you're in a thread about avitars, in which case I look at everyone's avitar, just cause it's on my mind.

Edit: Have I been spelling avatar wrong this whole time? Just seems like too many A's...

I'd say it does, if you have a picture of something abnormal, or ridiculous, people will most likely consider you immature and whatnot, then again, if you have something that relates to other people (i.e. a band or something that someone else admires) they may think better of you.
