Here's my basic idea: on my website I want an avatar displayed next to each post indictating the posters user group. For example, since I am the admin, if I blog something an avatar saying "Admin Post" would show up and if a member posted something it would say "Member Post" and so on. I don't want the members to have the option of changing their avatar.

What do you guys think the best thing to do is? I was thinking of simply going into the DB and changing the default value of picture to the "Member Post" avatar. Since there would be no more than 2-3 admins I could change their avatars manually.

Also, what needs to be activated for avatars to work? I have profile.module active and I have full permissions, yet the avatar options don't show up in my "edit profile." I just want to make sure that I have everything I need to use avatars active but at the same time making sure the upload new avatar option is not available to the users so they can't change it.
