Depends. If you restrict the avatars to a certain file type (JPG or GIF), a maximum height/width ratio (most avatars are seldom larger than 100 x 100 pixels), then it shouldn't be much of a problem.
As for avatar selection, I think this BB system can be customized to restrict the type of avatars to a specific list already on the server; any new avatars would have to be approved by the administrator and added to the list. You can also restrict the use of avatars to certain posting levels or to moderators/admins.
I would not be adverse to a simple avatar displaying the Greek letters of one's GLO affiliation or their coat of arms/badge.
