Avatar Privacy
Avatars from Gravatar.com are great, but they come with certain privacy implications. You as site admin may already know this, but your visitors and users probably don’t. Avatar Privacy can help to improve the privacy situation by making some subtle changes to the way avatars are displayed on your site. The plugin works without changing your theme files (for reasonably modern themes), and it does support multisite installations. Please note that the plugin does not provide an options page of its own, it rather adds to the existing discussion settings page. Features The plugin’s features summed up: Self-uploaded avatars for users (and custom default images), hosted on your server. Users and commenters explicitly opt-in before using gravatars. Gravatar caching to ensure the privacy of your website visitors. Don’t publish weakly encrypted e-mail addresses of comment authors.
