There aren't any rules about flashing avatars, but we're aware that they can trigger epileptic seizures (something I have personal experience with, after having had an epileptic dog, and a father who developed epilepsy following a major stroke) and sometimes migraines.Originally Posted by Kaylacat
I forgot about flashing avatars. They drive me nuts too. It looks cool and all but they really hurt my eyes.
Generally, anybody who is using such an avatar is made aware of those possibilities by PM, and asked to find a gentler replacement.
