    Sorry about this but I can normally sort this but I am unable to insert an avatar, there is a radio button which says do not use an Avatar, unable to unlock the radio button, is there a kind moderator who can sort it out for me so I can insert one.

    Many thanks.

    Seeing as the subject has been raised again, perhaps the powers that be might review the number of posts needed to get an avatar? 500 seems an awful lot and it can be much easier for existing members to browse or scan the forum when a favourite poster has his or her own avatar.

    Ah well, that's my christmas gift to all the n00bs sorted

    Nooo, an avatar is a special gift to those who have spammed their way up the pecking order of uselessness to the point of being demi-gods.

    The number of posts required for the various rewards has recently been reviewed by the Mod Squad, and it was decided to leave things as they are.

    Yeh I think 500 is a bit excessive also. I've been logging into this site literally every day for 5 months now. I post quite often, probably averages out almost a couple a day or something. I'm sure this encourages people to spam their way to 500 posts to get an avatar. Luckily for this site, I aint one of those people. I'm not really to bothered about it. But 500... It's gonna take me a year before I can use an avatar at this rate....

    Yeh sure. I'm not really that bothered as I said. There must be plenty that have spammed their way to getting an avatar though!

    I considered it, but 500 is enough that you would need to put the effort in over a good few weeks, and who can be bothered doing that for a picture?!

    I couldn't be bothered either no. But I would never spam anyone unless I really had a big problem with them. It's not something I've ever bothered with though. Just saying, I'm sure there are those that will bother. You can get bots to do stuff like that also.

    a bot would be lucky to make it to 10 posts before getting the banhammer. even a human will struggle, and the small amount of traffic means you have to visit lots of threads to get the post count up, which is a bit bad if the whole of the first page of this subforum is full of threads you are the latest responder to.

    the real powerhouse forums, like penny arcade or somethingawful you could do 500 in a day without raising an eyebrow.

    Yeh you're probably right. This forum is fairly quiet so it would be spotted a lot easier. Anyways. 500 posts is silly lol....
