 * I have a site where users can upload and setup there avatars in another area 
   in the admin by a plugin. So the avatar area in admin > settings > discussions
   doesn’t do anything and will confuse users. It doesn’t have a CSS class so I 
   can’t remove it by CSS. Does anyone have an idea how to remove it.
 * Any help appreciated.

 * I don’t recommend removing it, that would involve modifying core files, with 
   is very dangerous.
 * That section can only be seen by Administrators, so unless you’re giving everyone
   administrator powers (also not a good idea), you have nothing to worry about.
