    Does the avatar of a user influence his/her reputation????

    Or

    If having a female , hmmm.. well... ;) kind of a .. :p avatar helps someones reputation ?????

    An added advantage i see is having a more realistic feminine avatar with a profile name not revealing their sex..... Kind of a general name... hmm.. You know what i mean...

    What do you have to say about this?????:rolleyes:

    Realistic feminine avatar may be getting good response and attention.

    Other than a commercial logo or a celebrity picture, I invariably assume that the person depicted in the avatar picture is the person himself!

    So....if you do upload a female pic in your avatar, I would surely assume you to be a female...and would be more polite and courteous with you..i guess :rolleyes:

    I think it has nothing to do with reputation, but if your avatar is a picture of girl, the guys will PM you :D

    I think it's time for sitewide Star Wars avatars on DP.

    We've had Bender. It's Leia time :D

    For me - I don't care who you are ( female, male or even shemale :eek: ) .. If I like what you said - rep will be automatically submitted, no matter what's in your avatar :D

    There is a user called Dynashox who's got a very god avatar, and I bet that this user is getting repped often.

    I do not think having a female avatar or any "catchy" avatar means there are chances of getting repped often. At least I do not rep people based upon their avatars. People with higher reps are those who either have a lot of friends or a lot of good posts.

    There is no need to be "avatar conscious" I guess. Mine present avatar can suck in that case as it just represents that I want to mind only business here..:p

    Avatar doesn't equal reputation but all the smart and cool people have nice avatars.

    I am also attracted to nicely designed avatars that more than 1 people use to promote a certain site and I come to think they are respected members because of the avatar they carry, but this is just an illusion.

    I think that the avatar should commensurate your real character

    Some time I tried to guess for his/her personality by avatar, find it very difficult.
