 When un-ticking the "Show Avatars" Under Settings -> Discussion, the
 setting isn't saved.

 Tested with:
 WordPress 4.7
 Firefox ESR 45.5.1

 Reproduction steps:
 - Go to Settings -> Discussion
 - Un-tick "Show Avatars"
 - Click F12, select the Network tab
 - Press the "Save changes" button
 - Right-click on the POST request to options.php
 - Copy as cURL
 - Paste cURL data in a text editor

 The data should read:
 --data
 'option_page=discussion&action=update&_wpnonce=f889b162da&_wp_http_referer=%2Ftmp
 %2Fwp-admin%2Foptions-
 discussion.php&default_pingback_flag=1&default_ping_status=open&default_comment_status=open&require_name_email=1&close_comments_days_old=14&thread_comments=1&thread_comments_depth=5&comments_per_page=50&default_comments_page=newest&comment_order=asc&comments_notify=1&moderation_notify=1&comment_whitelist=1&comment_max_links=2&moderation_keys=&blacklist_keys=&avatar_rating=G&avatar_default=mystery&submit=Save+Changes'

 Workaround:
 Add "&show_avatars=0" to the data set and fire the request off from the
 command line using cURL
