@Lypyrhythm Not at a system level, but you can certainly ask for high-rep users not to answer, and we'll probably respect that. (I say "probably" because I can't speak for all of us.) It's been done before:
I have been lurking on puzzling.se for quite a while, but I never joined the community before because by the time I figured out any puzzles, someone else had already answered them. For that reason, I decided to put up this puzzle. It is pretty straight forward, so it won't be much challenge for...
@Lypyrhythm Why did you undelete it? It was already deleted: you always have the power to delete your own answers if you feel they're not good enough, and you did that but then undeleted it.
I voted to delete it in the review queue, respecting your wish to have it deleted, but that vote won't do anything now that the answer has a positive score.
@Lypyrhythm That's never going to be implemented at a system level, but as I said, you're free to add that as a specification to particular puzzles.
Anyone from any other site on the SE network would probably find it completely unreasonable, but here on PSE we're a bit more understanding of odd requests.
Is there a name for the default avatars that are generated for users who do not assign one themselves?
Not the avatar of the blank user, but the one made up of shards, shapes, and colours:
Is there an online generator for something like that?

They're probably salted (or something similar). I'd assume it would take an unfathomable amount of years to crack it by brute-force. It's not like they're using md5
@Lypyrhythm No need to fear such a thing, there's absolutely nothing wrong with asking without answering. Especially here on PSE where asking often requires more skill than answering, and good puzzle creators are highly prized!
PSE was originally intended to be a strict Q&A site for questions about puzzles. Over time, and with a lot of growing pains and battles within the community, it became largely a site for creating and solving puzzles interactively.
@Randal'Thor I heard users with a lot of reputation have access to the statistics of PSE. Do you know what percentage of puzzles here are user-created?
