Question about banned user avatars.

[Mystic Muse]

I know the rule is that you shouldn't use a banned user's avatar as your own for various legitimate reasons. However, would it be a problem if you dressed as their avatar for Halloween week assuming you could get their or the creator's permission? Or is this still just a bad idea?

Protesting Bannings/Glorifying or Discussing Banned Posters: We value our posters, and take care only to ban posters who commit egregious or repeated violations of our Rules. Once that action is taken, though, it is an Inappropriate topic to discuss, glorify, or memorialize banned posters or their rules violations. We have found in the past that such displays are disruptive to the community.

Emphasis mine. With the rules' recommendation to err on the side of caution, I'd say don't do it.

Sheriff of Moddingham: Indeed a bad idea. A bad idea of Infraction-worthy proportions as noted above.
