when is Yahoo going to stop these apostrophe avatars with no alphabet? only characters?

This ` is not proper as an avatar. They must be required to use alphabetical names--not bouncing balls or illegible unpronouncable characters. Where do I report these and when is yahoo going to step in?

Update:

MAGNUMGIRL: Its not my field of knowledge. But It appears you are official in your authority. Is there any rule? The RULE of "alphabet equals avatar--but punctuation does not" produces ORDER. I take UMBRAGE to alphabetical absence. No site ever allowed such nonsensical laissez-faire. It affects all participants negatively and produces CHAOS; it is uncharitable & unjust to others. Everyone can spell their avatar-of-choice, even "umlaut" but then call it UMLAUT. Let the reader look it up. And thank you for your support. Feel free to pass it on.
