This has been brought up at least two times recently (both by myself and woodbridge). It seems unfair that some 'elite' members (and their personal friends) of the community get to personalize their posts with them while other 'runofthemill' members can't (and presumably will not). With all the recent talk about how this 'community' is comprised of equals, I think that the admins need to be consistent. Either the 'elite' members of the community should get rid of their icons or we should all be able to have them!!
I don't want to harp on the matter, but as a supporter (financial - all ODNT products and WC - ...and soon to be artistic) of this site, it seems to me that the you might at least allow us to pick from a list of pre-approved/moderated icons (similar to what neowin does with avatars) in our account options. This icon would be used as the default 'SkinBrowser supporter' icon.
Adding a dropdown to the account options to support this would be trivial (one added setting returned from the database query along with support code to display it and update the selection) and would require little, if any, maintenance once implemented.
T-Man - I would be happy to perform any maintenance required to support this feature (including modifying the account setup page, if necessary) on a volunteer basis.
I think this might qualify as one of the 'extras' of being a WC subscriber - not to mention that it might even boost WC subscriptions when visitors start asking "How do I get an icon on my post" questions.
Thanks for your consideration - and keep up the awesome work.
BTW - Alexandrie's opinion DOES count to me
