Well #2, why not>?!
It would be interesting in general, not only in forums, that players can be put an avatar in the profile.
It would take away from the "clean" look of lichess, but I could see it working. Maybe it would show up only in profiles and that little pop-up bubble that appears when you hover over a user's name.
Useless advertisement. Soon gifs appear. The atmosphere becomes that of a sandbox. Who needs to see an avatar Everywhere? Games, posts, messages, questions... all kiddy stuff.
Think people want to see yours? Put it in your profile. Simple enough. The site is CLEAN in appearance. No need to ruin it. A kiddy sandbox atmosphere? Go to CC. You'll be happy.
The difference is lichess is more about playing chess, not creating a "social network".
An avatar is a "form" of advertisement. Half the people will change theirs every other day. Don't really see the point of "pictures" appearing everywhere you look.
