We are in a corporate environment and use Pidgin for those of us who
want to IM. We had an incident where one of our lady's AIM account
was hacked and the avatar was replaced with a very indecent picture.
When she sent an IM to others within the office this picture came up
as her avatar.
Pidgin has worked very well for us, however, is there any way to block
the avatar?
What if the "hacker" decides to send indecent pictures out via file
transfer, or sends dirty messages, will you disable those features as well?
A better approach might be to avoid having your accounts compromised,
and when it happens, to deal with it as quickly and appropriately as
possible.
There's no way to disable avatars.
