While browsing some discussions to respond to, I have noticed that there are some members here who have the same avatar. Not that it is the first time I have seen such. However, I am just wondering if there is any way by which myLot sees this and what they do about it.
Have you noticed this too? How many have you seen so far?

Oh.. I've seen countless. I lost count of them. It's confusing at times as I recognize mylotters through their avatars.
But well, none of my friends here have the same avatar. This is good for me as it's less confusing.
So far, I haven't seen anyone with the same avatar as me. I've been here for a year so if you do see someone with the same avatar as me, it means that person has copied by avatar.

I have just noticed 2 members who have the same avatar! I was observing if one of them will change but maybe they didn't bump with each other yet..LOL! The other one was a newbie while the other one is not since she has like 10 thou plus post!

Yeah, maybe if these members bump into each other, one of them or even both of them would change their avatars.

The reason maybe we have the same avatar is because we dont submit out own. The avatar that we have is the one given to us by mylot.

I haven't seen avatars which are the same here. I have been here
for 2 months now and I haven't experienced that. Maybe if I would
stay here longer I would know who you are talking about.
But maybe people here would like their very own unique identity
so there won't be too many same avatars here.
I don't want my avatar copied.
Have a nice day!

There are some avatars that look pretty generic, pictures that are all over the internet. I've noticed too, that some people would rather use one of these generic everyone's-seen-'em pictures, as opposed to finding their own. I could never do that. I am not interested in following the crowd.

I find it extremely confusing when several members switch over to use the avatar of another member. I also find it confusing when people change their avatar all the time. For me, an avatar is like a photo, or a badge. It defines who we are. So saying, when members omit to chose an avatar and maintain the generic, boring green avatar, I tend to take this to mean they are not fully joining in and I tend to overlook them and not give them my full attention.
I don't know what myLot could do about it and I haven't bothered to count.

I don't know how many I've seen that are alike. But I have seen them. It is nice seeing the many different ones. I like many of them. They make me smile to see them. Which lightens my mood and make me feel good.

I have seen a lot of similar looking avatars and I think that I have seen a couple that are the same, I am not sure if it is really a problem though. I dont mind seeing the same avatar, I think that if I saw someone with the same avatar with me I would just change it for another!
