    Own the bad posts. Place your avatar so that the bad posts are being spoken directly.

    They're not called avatars, they're called the Na'vi. And sometimes they'll face a post called the Tree of Souls, but other times they don't face a post. That's up to the individual Na'vi.

    They should stare directly at you at all times, with the eyes following you as you move around the room.

    They should be facing directly towards the reader. As if to say "Yeah, that's my bad post. You wanna step offline and do something about it?", even though you're secure in the knowledge that no internet person is going to expend any more effort than a bit of keyboard work to get vengeance upon you.

    Uhhhhhh....

    Even when I had anthropomorphic avatars I they tended to face the camera, though I think I tended to have them look away from the post?

    I had to vote for facing away to avoid the crime of hypocrisy but if I weren't so lazy and afraid of change I'd definitely have mine facing toward the post
