Only Friends See Your Avatar. Prevent Avatar Theft
Kareeda
What if there was a way to set it so your avatar was only viewable by friends so other players couldn't steal it or rip it from cache using all the publicly available tools floating around. I'd greatly appreciate this.

I strongly agree with this suggestion. I was about to post about this my self. I think this would be extremely beneficial so that only people you trust are able to load and see your avatars.
People such as your friends, and people to who you manually enable permissions.
This would allow by choice people avoid being harassed by strangers in public because of their avatars and still be able to enjoy them around people they trust.
A much better alternative to being always couped up hiding in private worlds out of fear.
Having it as an option where when "toggled" would work as a whitelist of sorts where only your friends and people you toggled permission on via the quick menu can load and see, and for the rest of the users would only see "Fallback" avatars instead.

I think this is an really good idea for something you can turn on and off in the settings. So that people that arent your friends just see's the generic ghostly robot avatar like if safety all avatars blocked is on.
That way the hackers wont even see your avatar to begin with and wont get anything in their cache.

Sadly with the uprise of people stealing avatars... this might have to come to pass. Ideally it would be great if stealing were harder to perform but... let's face it, it will never be fully prevented. I have my own character of my own creation, I do not want people going around as my own identity.
It's one thing to modify an avatar that is pubic, but to have one that is meant to be used as one's self... so while I do like to show off my avatar, and have people see -me- instead of generic robot... especially since I seem to make friends because of my avatar c.c; but... I really don't want my identity stolen!
