Does it bother you when someone steals your avatar pic?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Does it bother you when someone steals your avatar pic? (Page 1 of 5)

Posted: 1/19/2021 3:34:06 PM EDT

Or do you take it as a badge of honor that someone thought enough of your idea to copy you?

It's happened twice to me over the years, including one I just noticed a few minutes ago.

ETA: So, should I @ this member in the thread to see what he has to say for himself?

Yuuuge party foul. Every avatar pic should have an element of original content/personalization.

That's why I have a dumb avatar.

Doesn't matter now.

It only happened to me once about 15 years ago. I changed avatars for about one day and someone immediately started using my original one.

I don't change avatars now unless I'm really sure I'm not going back to the other one.

I'm not aware if it has happened. But it would suck. I wouldn't do it to someone else.

It is annoying to answer a post that you thought was someone else, that and constantly changing the avatar, rant over

No one ever has. I liked the egg separator avatar I used to have, but too many half blind folks were freaked out by it.

Posted: 1/19/2021 3:42:02 PM EDT

[#11]

No one ever has done so for any of mine.

Was surprised no one had mine first.

Not really I guess, but no one has so...idk

. Can see how it would be confusing as some prolific posters are recognizable by them.

I didn't even know that was a thing!

It’s never happened, but it wouldn’t bother me.

Considering I got mine from an image on the internet I couldn't really complain if someone liked the same image. But it's annoying when two posters have the same or similar avatars.

Posted: 1/19/2021 3:47:03 PM EDT

[#22]

It's cool to have an original. I was so proud someone modified mine, I adopted it!

Posted: 1/19/2021 3:47:14 PM EDT

[#23]

Yeah... until I realized it was the troll account I made.
Just Kidding...
maybe.

Make your own damn avatar!

You did it and spelled it wrong, but don't worry. He will be here. Posting "avatar" in a thread title is like a drop of blood in the water for a shark to him.

My avatar came about through a now banned PowPow thread where I was accused by PowPow of being a circus member in cahoots with everyone else to get him to ban himself.

Once I created it, I liked it and probably won't change it.

We all should use the penguins avatar just to confuse the over lords.

No one would use mine if they knew who those guys were.

Mine is my own pic of a build I was working on. Thought it was cool, and too many people complained of my Yolondi Visser avatar. So I switched it.

There is only one member here, who has one similar to mine, that I know of anyway.

ETA Posted up above lol

Yes, I worked hard to make this avatar.

This is my avatar pic. It's a close up of a black American flag that I changed to shortly after election day.

This is the avatar as I copied it from the other user. Note: The other used joined 10 years after I did but has 10x the post I do.

Everyone should have a "45" in their avatar .

I hate it when that happens

Maybe they just share in your optimism about the country
