In order to help distinguish new accounts, only paid/verified accounts will be able to change your avatar moving forward.

We'll likely add some more of these restrictions. We've noticed an influx of accounts that come in and upload an avatar to feign real users. From this point, new accounts won't have the ability to change them. Existing accounts unfortunately will also not be able to update them from here.


Thank you.

I hope this doesn’t have anything to do with me I just recently uploaded my avatar picture and Im a new member here. It’s the same profile picture and user name from my other accounts I have online. Calguns, castboolits, mewe, fb and a few other sites

It's not with you specifically.. You're in before the change. We had a string of scammers come in and we're looking for ways to provide the community with some things to look out for. It starts now, but in two years, no avatar means less reputation. When accounts burn their reputation, they lose grandfathered features on their account.
 
I kinda wish I had a bit more notification that this was gonna happen but I’ve had plenty of time to upload a picture and i understand the necessity. Good keeping up on this @ikeo1

Not as bad as this black and white picture of what I thought was AOC holding an AK.

$20/year - you remove the ad in the dm and get a badge, avatar

Best benefit other than changing the avatar.

You help the site.

Haha my guy lifts the restriction and I still missed my opportunity. All good. This is what happens when you don’t camp the forum, boys. You miss out on some amazing opportunities.

No special treatment needed here. Learn from it or become a member #MemberDrive
