Perhaps it's a stupid idea, but it just hit me.

How about making an option where a users avatar is a small and cropped version (down to square size) of the same users latest entry?

Prize contests must be excluded of course, as that would spoil who the author of an entry is...

That sounds cool.
Or... What if you could have an option to have your top favorite picture be your avatar?

Sounds like a good way to vote-whore to me... just post a bunch of Very Happy in every thread and youīre already promoting yer entry...

No offense, but itīs a stupid idea to me.

vote whoring is when you promote yer active entries... it would be like inducing people to vote for you in a massive way...

vote whoring was ahuuuuge problem here. now it still is, but people donīt care anymore... they got sick of fighting against it... at least those who cared...

Then say only inactive entries can be used? The entry from the last finished contest...?

On the other hand, today people can manually change their avatar into their current active entry.

In that case, AS AN OPTION, itīs ok for me. Just pisses me off the use of active entries.
