Gravatar is great. But sometime we want to disable.

I have a client who’s serving only the market in Japan.  
In order to reduce the number of the spam, they block in-and-out access from overseas by IP address.

This led to the consequence that their Mautic is unable to access Gravatar.

My current solution is to override the code like the following

I thought that it would be easy if we can add configurable setting in dashboard.

For example… just simple checkbox…

```auto
[Check] Use Gravatar?

```

Thanks.

Thanks!

I made a little dirty patch out of this idea:

Just stumbled onto the issue another time. All pictures with a Gravatar are broken, GDPR compliance is also questionable. I would really love this feature to be repaired or turned off.
