Request that sites have independant avatar

If there is not already a way to do this, I would like to request that sites that are listed in BuddyPress have independant avatar just like the groups do. I have a multi-site WordPress install where I am the administrator of many of the sites and my avatar photo shows on each of them.

I would rather have an image meaningful to the site rather than my mug on them. The only other work around I know of is having to create a new user for each site, which is a real annoyance.

Hopefully there is a quick and easy solution to this and I look forward to the answer with the solution.

Gave it a try…

Had to Network Activate BuddyPress and the Blog Avatar plugin to use it, then all it did was show a mystery man avatar in the buddypress sites list. It showed the uploaded avatar on the Blog Avatar within the individual site, however only the mystery man avatar anywhere else?

Not really happy with having to network activate BuddyPress to use it as I don’t want individual blog admins messing with BuddyPress settings within their blogs/sites. So I set things back to the way it was and uninstalled it.

My original idea of controlling the site/blog avatar from the main site BuddyPress (just like the groups) is still a better option.

wpmudev.org claim they have a ‘AVATARS’ plugin [ https://premium.wpmudev.org/project/avatars/ ] that does what I am looking for, however paying $19 upfront and having to use their Dashboard plugin (that constantly pumps their propaganda into your admin panel) is not for me – yes been there done that.
