Option to nag you for non-default icon

Title:
Option to nag you for non-default icon

Area:
user icons, posting, commenting

Summary:
When posting or commenting, I'd love it if there was an option to remind me with "Do you really want to use your default icon?"

Description:
I'm constantly going back and editing my posts/comments because, two seconds after hitting the submit button, I realise I should have chosen a different icon. Perhaps I'm the only person who does this? But if not, I was thinking, it might be handy to have some kind of setting to make it ask me each time, "No, really, CHOOSE AN ICON. You have heaps of them! One of them is perfect for this post, if you just stop and think for a moment!"

Ahem.

Implementation: some kind of per user setting, I guess?

I would love this.

As long as it's an opt-in kind of thing.
(I never forget about my icons;)

ONLY if this is entirely opt-in and I never have to see it! ;)

I would find this incredibly irritating if it was there. Choosing the icon is a major part of making a post/comment for me, I would never forget to select one if I wanted to use it.

Indeed.

If it's not a setting, it would be really nifty as a Greasemonkey script or something.

[msilverstar]

that might be the best way to do it.

I'm always forgetting to use my icons. I'd love an option like this. ^^;

I would use this, as I am similarly always forgetting to specify a non-default icon too! Your post implied opt-in to me, so I said without changes. :)

I'd personally be more annoyed by this than anything else, and having it opt-in would mean another setting to clutter things with. IMO.

Ahaha, I'm not sure I actually want this option, but I do tend to just post/comment without thinking about my icon 99% of the time. *remembers to change it for once*
