Dustin: Reject Avatar-less Comments

Dustin Hurst: I would like to object on the grounds of HBO etiquette. I think it is improper for someone who has yet to put an avatar beside his/her name displayed on the front page of HBO. I think posters should show proper respect to other Hucksters and put up an avatar before being given the spotlight at HBO nation. Anyone with me on this? ... Also: I think we should have an HBO constitution or something … or at least some rules to be considered a legitimate commentator. I don't want to see jokers with no avatars running around with Phaedrus, Sis, Spoke, or MM. In the words of Mayweather, “step yo game up.”

DFO: Usually, I don't front-page nonavatar material ... unless it's particularly good or ludicrous. However, the idea that we adopt a constitution at HucksOnline scares me. One of you guys might suggest making "Jedi" the official religion of the blog or repealing the 17th amendment. And then nobody would take us seriously. ;-)

Question: Should commenters w/o avatars be banned from HBO's front page?
