Quality MOCs are being overtaken on Brickshelf because of the avatars.
They're not permanently hidden, but they're pushed out of the way (and
hidden from view on the main Recent page) by an overwhelming number of these
avatars.

Even if it were as simple as that, there's absolutely nothing wrong with him
expressing an opinion and looking for backup. Jeff and Jon.

Is there a flood of Racer avatars? There's tons of things I don't like, I
don't call for their banishment. Heck, there's a handful of *people* I
don't like, and I don't call for theirs [1] without valid reason.
There's a valid reason to call for the banishment of Bionicle avatars.
There's a flood of them. And it seems that per one person there are many
more than needed (I believe you only need one avatar for a perosnal icon).
Jon (and now Jeff) are merely expressing opinions. If people agree, great!
If not, that's fine too! Great thing about opinions is you don't have to
share them.

How is calling for banishment NOT an opinion? 'I think X should be banned,
and here's why' certainly looks like an opinion to me. You certainly can't
say that John and Jeff are calling for the banishment because of an
objective fact.
I think you're the one who has to grow up. Maybe learn to listen to others
a bit and get out of your own little world.

[1] For the record, I have called for banishment a few times, but not
without valid reason and the shared opinion of many others in the community.
