The odds are that a person will use a particular photograph for their avatar on OFF, which is possibly the same as one on another website. For instance their account on a well-known social networking site can easily be found, and depending on their settings anything from there, used in any way at all. It's not necessarily the initial 'theft' of an avatar photograph from here or anywhere else, it's what can be found in relation to that person's photograph.

If anyone wishes to send a photograph via PM to another member, then I guess that can be easily done. Then it's not on general display, on what is after all a public forum.
As far as it goes I believe that if there is no personal avatar photograph, then that cannot be used in any underhanded way, by those who would do so. That has to be 110% the safest way.
