It would be nice if patrons could upload their own images - of course these would need to go in to moderation of some sort and have a switch to turn this option on/off.

On top of bug 14321 ?

Koha now offers the functionality to the patrons to add/edit their profile information from the opac screen. Also, librarians are given privileges to moderate the user's profile change requests. This is a wonderful feature. But Can it also be done with a profile Picture, because, now only a staff member can upload the patron picture? It will be great if that functionality is allowed on the OPAC's profile section so that users can set/change their own profile photo.

Hopefully this could be something that could be turned on/off independent of other patron info.  For those of us wanting to use pictures for identity, I could see how this might be abused by patrons by just uploading a favorite icon or image, rather than their own picture.  Some of them are might also be glamorized, making it more difficult to identify the patron.  Not all libraries would want the patron uploading pictures of their choice.
