OSnews is in the process of converting our self-hosted avatars to Gravatar.com, a global recognized avatar service hosted by Automattic, the team behind Wordpress publishing platform and Wordpress.com. Effective immediately, we've disallowed uploads of new OSnews avatars. Please consider registering a gravatar to use a personalized account picture on OSnews.com.

Furthermore, if you really want to screw with someone and you changed your account email to theirs just to get their avatar, well... good for you. You can use any avatar you want anyway. Seems like a lot of work for something that could be done pretty easily by just using the same avatar.
What I actually meant was creating an avatar on Gravatar using their username/email address, so that the avatar would show up on their account, not mine.

It's based on the email address in your account, not your username.
