If you look closely at one of the pictures directly above the middle of the compilation, the lad isn't facepalming, it looks as if he's in some sort of pub or other social setting and is actually crying.

Therefore the post is an

It's not a big problem, but it can make you have to scroll a bit more in threads he participates in to find relevant text and, in my opinion, it doesn't look good to have pages fill up with nothing just to accommodate enormous avatars.

In other words, the 250 pixel height guideline is there for a reason.

The second is that I don't think any regular members would've gotten such a huge avatar had they requested it. That makes it a very visual reminder that mods (or at least Conan) enjoy different privileges from regular users. Some may not mind, but I'm against that sort of thing on principle. As this is just one case, it's pretty minor. Had all the mods visibly enjoyed various privileges not available to members, I believe it would've had a negative impact on the community - or at least on the regular users/mods relationship. So basically, if it's bad when everyone does it, then I think no one should do it.
I don't mind changing it. I put it together on a whim and I was a bit careless about the length of the thing.

You don't have to apologize for not breaking any rules, Conan.
And since we haven't declared that there is absolutely no avatars longer than 250 pixels in height, but merely suggested they be kept to that arbitrary limit, and since we haven't denied any avatars exceeding 250 pixels in height to my knowledge, then I guess it's just a matter of whether it's annoying Tore or not.

Tore, you're an asshole.

Meh, it's beginning to annoy me as well. That's what really matters.

The new avatar is a hundred times more awesome.

I admit I wouldn't have approved one over the limit, and I've had people resize them within a few pixels, but I'm a stickler and I thought we were more strict on this one since we'd never had a real discussion about it before.

I'll try not to be so mean now.

The reason we implemented a limit was specifically for the width discrepancies. The height was never an issue in the past, but we just used 250 as a decent-looking guideline. The only thing that was ever mandated was the width.

Thanks Conan. Your new avatar is a lot funnier (and creepier) than the previous one!

Out of interest, does anyone think there should be an option of me adding previous avatars in spoiler tags for each user as well as name changes?
