Hey everyone. This seems like a nice feature I’d love.

I have 3,000+ users on [https://nomadforum.io](https://nomadforum.io), but many of them have never set a profile pic. And it just makes it look better if they would. I now send them a welcome message like

“I see you haven’t set a profile pic yet, please do it now :)”

But it’d be even better if I could stop people from posting and alert them to set a pic first.

Obviously this should be optional.
