Can we add Links in Profile Avatars?

[dkbit98]

Question for Admin team:

I noticed that clicking on profile avatar is directing us to profile page of specific member.

Is it possible to bypass this and add custom link for avatar that can be added manually by user?

I would appreciate even more if links could be added in Personal Text that is placed below Avatar image

It's an interesting idea, maybe it should be enabled only by higher-ranked members. Thus, they would avoid the mass creation of accounts for this purpose.

Enable just for high rank members is a good solution, as bots cannot be high ranked.

I would love to add a link for my domain for example.

Other users might find interesting to share their personal blog, medium, etc..

You are not thinking I am trying to hack you and forum again don't you? 
There is already a link that is opening our profile pages, and other members made a good suggestion to enable it only for higher ranked accounts.
Anyone who tries to abuse this should be punished, but I don't see any real danger for forum.

It could be considered as a kind of benefit for active and higher-ranked members.

That would make it kind of like a second signature, no?

I'm not sure what kind of use it would have if your avatar is chosen for you by a signature campaign though. It would be pretty weird to have the avatar of some service and then when you click on it, it takes you to a completely different website.

Anyway, let's wait and see what happens. I don't really care too much about this, but it could be useful to some people.

Something like what @dkbit98 suggests could be used for mixers, for example, (although it could be used with other products) that way users who visit the forum would not have to copy the URL or have to search in a search engine, where there are many links to phishing/scams. The link would always be the correct one without the possibility of writing it wrong or having to remember it.

For other types of uses, other than signature campaigns, as we have mentioned, it is best to reserve this function for high-ranking users.

For self-service and those wearing customised Avatars, you cannot wear Mixtum and include a gambling link or a link to your personal blog. I had no idea something like this existed because we aren't used to clicking avatars on BTT, therefore the chances of anyone clicking it are quite low.

It could be used to for phishing links; keep in mind that high-ranking accounts can also be scam. This is the internet. Do we really need this now? Nah IMO

Or link for personal websites, blog, etc. but it won't be the same as signatures.

It is weird now when you click on Mixtum avatar and you open my profile page
In case I use my own avatar I can add link for my own service, or link can be added below avatar as personal text.
