You would still see the agents avatar in the usual place.
This would ADD the dot(s) avatars somewhere in the post

Maybe a +0.05 from me?
Yeah it would have to be carefully crafted to avoid too much clutter.
Maybe if it was restricted to specific forums... like team forums or such... and not "suggestion forums" or FAQ forums where it's more of a person-to-person thing... then I'd be ok with it. Still... it seems like a lot of work for minimal gain. +.05
I actually think it would be a pretty entertaining feature to see people posting in "character" of their dots. But I'd suggest using the player avatar when posting and simply put the player name below where you see the agent name today. Then...make the signature, when posting as a player, the agent's name/url.
Team forums are great but you'd really want to allow this on league forums as well. Anything to break up the melancholy on the league forums would be a big improvement.
Filtering dropdown boxes could work the same way the dropdown box on player profile pages work today. You get a dropdown of eligible players in the upper corner (or wherever) that you can post as based on the forum you are in. So there are 3 types of filter lists needed...Team forums (for each player), League Forums (for each player), and Agent forums (as it exists currently).

I am with you here I just don't see the need or really the want. seriously how many people actually would go around pretending that they were a dang dot and post as said dot. I understand some people might but most wouldn't and would get annoyed by the ones that did.

Per OP (implied if I didnt state it outright) this would be ONLY for team forums.
