In Discourse, the user avatar doesn’t show any stats about the user:

In other BB software, you generally see stats like total post count, reputation, date joined, etc. I’m not sure any of that is helpful, but it’s ubiquitous. What’s the reason why Discourse doesn’t give any clue about the user in this way?
