THE AVATAR IS AN EJACULATING PENIS.

We need an on-site option to report problem avatars.

You already reported this here:

A better angle of attack would be a suggestion to have a "report this user profile" option. I'd +1 that.

Yes, but it didn't help, and another user suggested I try putting it under "Report a Problem," since it is one (if I ignore the guy, I just get the picture on my own profile, so there's no getting away from it), and I wasn't getting any results. S/he said that only fellow site users would see it there, not IMDb staff, whereas here, staff might see it.

I agree with the Report Profile suggestion! We could have a few options to check, such as whether it's because of the avatar, or because it has some truly horrid text, or what. That's a good idea.

Yep, exactly.

Report profile would give you a drop down with options like:

* Avatar
* User name
* Profile

Perhaps with an option to explain what the problem is (never a good idea to make staff guess).

This has come up a few times before and it seems there would be enough need to for to warrant the time taken to code it.

Then again it could be this forum is the best way of dealing with this (although, the lack of response says it might be something we need a hardcoded system for).

Emperor, There is no way to report pornographic avatars anymore.  You just get a message saying "we already have enough reports on this poster".  .  No one should have to put up with blow job avatars, closeups of female genitalia, , masturbation avatars and female breast shots..  This bozo is trying to bring down FILM GENERAL., with as many as 5 new accounts a day, and frequently more.  What I want to know is why honest posters are being ignored when reporting legitimate violations.

Oh, what a relief, I was so sick of seeing that. Thanks for the update.
