This is a great idea! And while we're at it, we should ban stupid ideas in posts! That'd really improve this community! We could set up a new staff position "thought policeman" to oversee this new initiative. The end result is a forum utopia, free from all stupid posts, so let's start right away!

I volunteer for the new position.

Im forced to say no even if it pains me to do so.

I love manga and I use such avatars when I'm in that type of forum but outside those communities its silly to have multiple people running around with every main character in every "popular" anime so yes in that sense I would love to have them prohibited. But then again its free speech issue and for some reason, if a person really absolutely feel connected spiritually and/or emotionally and/or iconographically with an unstable, moronic and utterly devoid of rational though, type of character I have to allow accept that decision though i wont respect it, even though it makes you look like a complete retard. (This mostly pertains to the typical run of the mill moeblob/shounen/shoujo/kiddy/"popular" crap that wont pass any sort of storytelling standard)

Names and avatars are there for a reason, to make you an online avatar, not a posterboard and advertising agent of something.
The only remedy to this is age. The need to copy and emulate each other or something you like is strong in young people and mostly an unconscious act.
Only with age will you learn how it makes you look childishly naive and lacking in creativity and selfworth.

Oblique references is the way to go if you want to to support something away from its own community and references, anything else is just pointless advertising spam.

The funny thing is that many of my friends think it's okay that I read/watch compilations of simplified, predominantly-Japanese art used to complement a story every day.
While they would find it weird that I play a card game on the computer that's not the Solitaire that comes with it when bought, I play a card game that contains simpler mechanics than a children's card game such as Yu-Gi-Oh!, and I check on the online forums to keep in touch with the main community every day.

you realize that this this "suggestion" (not entirely sure its real) is pretty much like trying to ban avatars of celebrities.
1. its not going to happen.... PERIOD, so get the flying f*** over it panzy
2. sg would be pissed if anyone suggested banning celeb avatars... *cough* looks like Angelina Joule *cough*
3. did i mention G E T  O V E R  I T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. personal opinion will never merit banishment of anything. it has to be reasonable, which is something you aren't capable of
my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they're like "its better than yours" damn right, its better than yours! i can teach you but i'd have to charge!
