Those 2-3 post are in every topic several hundred times.

And it's not just public place blah-blah-reasoning sometimes it's just annoying to have this image spam of gifs waving panties all over the thread; particularly when it's the same one over and over and over. Something like how it's annoying to scroll though a bunch of large signatures on other boards, even if you don't particularly have anything against the images themselvs. I don't really care what people use as avatars to be honest, some of the NSFW ones are actually quite funny. Heck they could be bigger, I still wouldn't care.

That's why I'm against a 1-click option. Avatars are pretty damn useful for visual recognition. Look at relentless there, you all remember how his posts looked with out an avatar; how you had to read his name since well all the people with no avatars look alike (and he has a pretty long name).
