Well, then if all this site has to offer to subscribers is a choice of avatars then this site seriously needs to beef up on more features...try Chess.com for example...tons of features for subscribers and the trivial things are free...also, if that is correct then I'm seriously questioning people's intent for throwing away money like that...just for an avatar ...[text shortened]... still going through some changes but they seriously need to rethink the subscriber features.

I suggest giving subscribers and non-subscribers alike free access to avatar pictures. I think it's rather extreme to block that feature to non-subscribers.
I mention this for no other reason, but to rub you up the wrong way for Sh-hits and giggles.
Allow minor swearing, that should be a site idea 😛

We also get the ability to laugh and take the pee out of people like you within our private forums.
If you don't like the site crawl back to chess.com and play there.
Originally posted by adramforallAfter paying a subscription fee a subscriber is far less likely to upload an image that would result in an instant ban. Although most non-subs wouldn’t dream of uploading any inappropriate content (ok, I admit, it has happened, but rare), it does remove one huge admin headache by limiting it to paying members.

So, everyone, pay your subscription (if you haven't done it already) and choose your own avatar!

I see no connection on other forums [non-chess] between subscribers'/donators' avatars and others members' avatars.
In fact some forums have a standard set of avatars that non subscribers can choose from; which would negate the stated reasons above. Normally the rule for avatars [the ones I've seen, anyway] relate to 1) time at the site, or 2) number of forum posts.
I have seen a good few [what I would call] disgusting avatars at RHP which also seems to disprove the theory.
