A user icon on LiveJournal is an image (100 by 100 pixels) which the user may associate with a post or a comment. The default user icon appears on some searches, on some lists, on the user info page, and when the user makes a comment or a post without specifically selecting an icon.

Some time before the middle of May 2006, a livejournal user ('''Hardvice''') set his default icon to a piece of art showing Bea Arthur topless. This default icon was reported to LJ Abuse.
