The downside is you have to have some kind of moderation system. Because what if they have an inappropriate avatar? You still need to be able to turn it off, and delete it from appearing on your site.

I've seen it used, some places...

Plus I found that if you use this code:

PHP Code:

http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/205e460b479e2e5b48aec07710c08d50?r=pg 


You can set the rating by changing PG to G.

Some people lie though when they upload their avatar.

You still need a moderation system.

For example, having a new permission. Like "Can user have avatar?"
If set to yes, they can have an avatar, if set to no, they've been banned from having an avatar due to misusing the feature.

True... Would be an easy thing to implement I think. Send the avatar through an admin approval process. If the avatar isn't acceptable force one of the identicons instead.

Gotta say I like this idea, one great feature I'm going to implement for Mys v1.4.0 is the new ACP that is much more customizable than the previous versions. You should be able to give or remove permissions for users to do all sort of things.
