Ability for administrator to require approval on avatar changes and signature changes. An administrator may wish to do this to ensure that the content being displayed is appropriate for their forum. This would be helpful for owners of boards aimed towards younger people to stop inappropriate content from being displayed until staff happen to stumble upon it.
I'm more of this is a plugin type of feature. If your forum is enforcing COPPA, then everyone is at least 13 years of age or so they claim. Given that, I don't think there is too much that would need to be filtered. It just adds work to forum staff for something that more than likely is a fine avatar / signature.
I still feel that this should be used. Even with COPPA they are only required to be 13, users could display pornography or innapropriate content in either of the two.
From my experience moderating a large board, I can tell you, if I have to approve changes to avatars or signatures, I would've gone crazy. I just deal with things when they come up. If someone is using something that isn't appropriate for a 13 year old to see as an avatar or signature, that member should probably be banned from using the board.
Yeah but protecting them from seeing it in the first place is the main aim, or should be.
