EDIT: See @cpradio’s [post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/temporary-avatar-titles/40944/2) below for the implementation.

It might be nice to have the ability to set a temporary avatar or title. With April fools nearly upon us, I’m wanting for a way to decorate each member’s avatar for the day. It’s been the target of many internet April fools in the past, and I’m sure it could be re-used for other festivities.

An admin would be able to override a user’s avatar or title with a temporary one on a per user basis, or across the entire system (could apply a random one from a list for variation). Once a specified time has passed, the original is restored.

While changing these per user is easy, being able to revert to non-shenanegans mode automatically would be awesome.
