I Don't Read Discussions From The Generic Green Avatars

I don't read discussions fromm the generic green avatars as most of them seem pretty boring to me. It's like the person has just put a few words together in order to get paid somehow. Sometimes, like this morning, I see the same avatar in a few posts, one after the other one. Not a very good strategy. Do you bother with those posts or do you just go on your merry way?

If there are one after the other by the same person, I usually pass them by.

That one this morning was a spammer who posted 63 over the night. He had been removed before so I think he was getting even...in his eyes only. I do respond to the green guys if they are asking for help or their title shows promise. They should know how to make their post look more interesting..so I know what you are saying...

Same here, unless the posts would be extremely interesting or informative.

@marlina Sure they got to be catchy to draw me

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to add a picture to replace the green avatar. Please, it isn't my fault.

You may have to size your photo down, I did.

@Morleyhunt Wow I am surprised I just changed mine and had no problem. Maybe try a different browser. I use Firefox

The majority do seem to fall into the pointless category, but there a still a few worthy ones around.

I think people should take the time to put up some kind of avatar and if there isn't one, I tend to assume that the posts wil be somewhat generic, too.

I have an avatar not a real photo, at least other readers can recognize the avatar. The "standard" one could be anyone.

I go about my merry way for the most part, but some days there are just more of those discussions, and I just report them and then move on.

I have not even noticed to be honest! Sounds rather annoying though.

It is a green avatar and is easily noticeable.

I know a couple with the loaner avatars, but for the most part unless they are super new, I avoid em

Having a distinct avatar makes me more likely to read a post. But the real determining factor is the title and first words. If those don't catch my interest, I'll pass it by.

Of course some titles are very misleading too.

I have not seen such yet :) But I just ignore senseless posts in general.

It would depend on what the topic is. Everyone deserves a chance to be heard and get feedback so that they can get better.

I avoid those people who are begging me to post for them because it is clearly cheating and it is what killed bubblews. I also avoid people who post generic posts like " what is love" then it is just few sentences. I dont really discriminate with no avatars because I encountered some of them who were good.

I follow a few users that have the green avatars and I do not understand why they do not take the time to change it, it takes a very little time to upload an avatar and I appreciate to recognize my connections looking at the avatar.

I wouldn't discount them just because they have no avatar, I like to give them a chance. I hope they learn that it's in their best interests to have one, because as you say, it makes you more easily recognised.

I check them occasionally. Usually I find out that doing so wasn't worth my while.

I have seen one or two people who do participate a lot on here and respond to a lot of post. I have no idea why they leave their avatar like they do. it would help if they did change it. I know they are active members and when I do see their name yes I do respond to their post. But it is only a few of them I do this too not all of them.

I check the names as there are a couple of people without avatars that I keep track of. But I agree, in the main they just seem to be looking for the money.
