I legitimately didn't know if there was a gay community on here who distributed edited avatars for their user base or if it was people just doing it themselves, like I said I find the fact that any user puts anything on their avatar in an attempt to feign a site based role is a terrible thing, if you walked into Tesco with a mock tesco manager name badge and started talking to customers wearing it you would be asked to remove it or leave, I don't understand the site allowing people to throw together mock up tags.

Dude, you're really thinking that the new user base here is way more stupid than they are ;-D 

That is a very strong possibility! But you have to keep in mind those tags are a part of the site and there to help users in general know who they can message, what is to stop someone from just taking and using whatever tag they want, say the supporter tag which implies donating money to the site, can be copy pasted onto an avatar in a second, the ambassador tag which was created as a way for new users to know who to listen to regarding taking advice in certain threads on here.... that tag can just be stuck onto whatever avatar and you can start spouting shite to people as though you were that role.

 

I'm holding my face after I typed the last bit... I know I'm coming off badly from this because it might appear that I'm overly invested in such a small thing, I'm just trying to play the devils advocate and point out that for certain people looking at the site from the outside, the way some users are making "community" tags is not really helpful.

 

See maybe this was in the right thread, I can admit being wrong to caring about this as much as I do lol, perhaps I should just ignore it!
