Hm, that's going in the direction of "Does the shopping list of a famous author belong to his literary works?" 😄
I'm advocating the idea of BGG being a complete compendium of games and RPGs, but following that to the exteme only fills a database with content of debatable quality. (And yes, defining some minimum quality is hard to do.)

I was just notified that the Star that I chose to give has been gifted to the receiver!

So, I've received two stars, and I've also given two stars to two cool people.

On RPGGeek:
I've generally found that users use an avatar from a game/tv series/film/media that they like. I don't think I've ever seen a political or opinion based one.
Usernames are usually either a play on their name, or a nickname they've had for years, so also no.

On Discord and other social media locations:
Very much so. As an admin/mod in a number of places I've had to ask people to change their username and/or avatar on a number of occasions.

Avatars probably do have an effect. They’re a first impression after all. I do love seeing the variety of avatars here. I also find them super useful for spotting folks in a thread.

Microbadges used to be more prominent and I miss that.

I’ve only ever seen a handful of problematic usernames in my almost twenty-five years on the site.

In the past two years, this person has published over 1,000 adventures for about a half dozen new RPGs. Does all the writing, all the art, all the layout. Somehow... I'm just not believing it. Real person? Or AI slop taking over DriveThru?

AI slop, definitely.

I wouldn't say nuke it, if it's there it's there, but I'm wondering why someone even bothers enough to add this stuff to the database.

For [microbadge=29680], of course! 🤣

They also eliminated the Challenge dice.

I think that it’s worth switching over to the 2E book for sure.

I often like to pretend people’s avatars are a realistic likeness of the users. And I refuse to hear any nay-saying on that theory.

My wings make posting a challenge, which is why I often keep my posts on the shorter side.

I often wonder if you belong to the same murder as [user=JugglinDan][/user] but then I remind myself that this silly. Australia and New Zealand are not that close.

When people have faces I sometimes think of them as looking like their avatar. Beyond that it is just another way to recognize them. I like to see micro-badges; they help me to know if I share an interest with someone. I have only taken them in a positive light. I have never thought poorly of someone for their avatar or micro-badge.
