No avatar change without permission

Any person administrating a usergroup can integrate whoever they want in it, and then can change the avatar of its members without it s members approval. This is silly.
Yesterday I logged in and saw I was sporting an avatar I never implemented. Someone actually made me join his usergroup, and must have an administrator power allowing him to change the avatar of the members of the usergroup to the usergroup avatar.

Please remove this power from usergroup admins; otherwise basically someone administrating a usergroup can make anyone on the site sport any avatar they want.

It's when they set you as that group for ur default user group that it occurs. Not a special power they can do anytime. It goes to whatever that user groups avatar is if they default you

Well i don t see how a usergroup admin should have the right to chose what is your default usergroup in the first place. And yes, as far as I understand, this is something that can be done anytime... Last time I had this same problem when a clan leader did a bad manipulation.. All the clan ended up with a default usergroup avatar.

Most folks delight in choosing their own avatars and sigs as something personal to them; I wouldn't appreciate it if a usergroup decided to replace my avatar either. I don't care how they do it, they shouldn't be able to do it, betiko's right!

I mean, good grief, the admin of groups can't even delete obsolete posts from the group forums, why should they be able to change our (personal) avatars?

I remember getting unreasonably upset about this same thing, many years ago.

All glory to the hypnotoad.
