Are we able to have animated GIF Avatars?

No we can't i'm afraid. When we resize the pic it loses any multi-picture properties - i.e a gif.

ioi, would it be possible to set rules instead of having an auto resize?

For instance, set a rule that you can't upload an avatar of a size bigger than 100 pixels by 100 pixels (the current resizing scheme). Then set a rule that the avatar can't be bigger than, say, 200k in size?

That way, no one could upload an avatar that was greater than those dimensions and size, and we could salvage animated gifs.
