Trust me, this wasn't aimed at you. (besides, your avatar fired the first shot xD)

 

The issue was a single user with a psychedelic seizure inducing gif that is very annoying. One way I can think to eliminate the issue fairly is to change the view selectively like signatures are currently handled. The  nuclear option of disallowing animation in avatars is another, but penalizes those who use the option tastefully.

 

Not everybody is bothered or cares, but to some it's really annoying, to the point of destructive urges.

Uhm... yeah... sorry about that.

 

I had asked @SSD why .gif's are even allowed... The upload dialog mentions jpg, and png... not gif.. even tho I clicked one and it worked :\

 

Sorry.
