Richard Mathews: 1) Why is it even seen as necessary to 'encourage' people to get a personalized avatar?

Because default avatars are viewed with suspicion. Unwelcome intruders, especially guerrilla theists, never change their avatars. If you choose to keep the default, be aware that you will treated differently by a lot of folk and maybe even jumped on occassionally.

I agree that a personalized avatar is important.
I disagree with making an annoying or unsightly one to encourage a new avatar because it makes the site look bad. I see wicked witch palin everywhere and it just looks bad.
I disagree with having a left-wing picture because all atheists aren't left-wing. I also think we're above black-and-white politics.
I vote for the Scarlet A, along with a login cookie that prompts the user (only) to post a picture for themselves. That way the site looks good, we're promoting a positive atheists symbol, and we're not locking nexus down to a political ideology.
