'Fraid not. While the handful of HMW Mods have very poor odds of running across offensive material in character profiles without going through the bios one at a time, the large number of forum mods that scan all the new posts will almost certainly catch any such material in Avatars and Sigs pretty quickly, making a filtering process for images in the forums more trouble than it is worth.

Good point there.

Okay, I thought of this on the way home. In the same vain as the quoted text a mod-only page could be a three column multi-row page.

Col 1: Currently used 24x24 image
Col 2: Account Name
Col 3: Delete image (or delete image & deny access to upload another one)

Or even a non mod-only page like this. (cause you know, policing 1.1 million internet subscribers by day and 10k forum users by night just isn't enough for some of us masochists)

Col 1: Currently used 24x24 image
Col 2: report to moderator

Then the moderators would get the mod-only 3 column page with just the reported ones.
Hate the players, love the game.

*edit: Damn extra pixels!!! I'll have to fix that later :?
The opinions expressed in this post are well-reasoned and insightful.
Needless to say, they are not those of SEIBERTRON.COM, its staff members, or any other site lackeys.
Anyone who says otherwise is itching for a fight.

Would it be possible, pretty please, to have an ankh as one of the predacon sub symbols? Just a plain ankh, nothing fancy, you know the Egyptian hooped cross thingie? It would really make my day to be able to have it. And Im not selfish, other people could use it too.

I'm confused, aren't subfactions banned?

I think they are talking more in the way of Maximal/Predacon/Autobot/Decepticon insignias. At least that is what I understand it to be now.

The AWC used the G2 Autobot insignia. The RDD used the TransTech Con insignia. So really both would still be put in the game if all the insignias for all the canon factions are used.

Okay, I'm stuck.

Remember the old Hot Wheels "Attack Pack" line of transforming monster trucks, boats, and planes?

IIRC, it had faction symbols which would fit in well for the Maximals and Predacons, but I can't find hardly anything online.
