How to a change my Profile Picture....

[DarkChaosMagi]

So I just left Reddit because of how buggy and the bad design within that site and came here... because the reason I made a reddit.. was for GTA Online?

                                 So like I get you've been having a problem with spammers, profile pictures, or something to do with that.

But do you really think it's smart to take away the right for someone to add a profile picture to their account because of this?

                   Really hoping this isn't a forebearer of how this site runs and functions. just hoping this little mishap is an outlier..

                   I had tried to message an administrator for help with this problem but it seems I can post zero messages per day.

 

 

I get it, I'm new, I don't mind waiting 48 hours or a week.... but there was no notification of a waiting time for these features to become active...

Really hope this is just another outlier not an omen of how this site functions.....

Due to the activity of others on here, and the fact they've created new accounts after being banned, to continue insulting others, we limit some functionality of the forums to new members.

 

Being able to change your profile pic, the PM system, and several other abilities around being able to customize your profile, are restricted until you make 20 valid and contributing posts on the threads.  When that is complete, the additional options will unlock.  Spamming threads to reach 20 posts, with things that need to be deleted doesn't work either. 

 

We know it may take a day or two to activate the additional functions, but the long history of this place has numerous examples of troublemakers trying to breach these rules to cause trouble.

Funny, I wasn't aware that "having a profile picture on an internet forum" was an inalienable right.

It's funny how many people don't actually know their rights despite claiming they do.

 

They think the 1st amendment and others apply to private enmities like private business who can refuse service and/or remove anybody from their privately owned property for any reason they want and it's not a violation of the Civil Rights act like all of these anti-maskers claim it does without realizing that even though a building is open to the public doesn't mean it's a public building.

 

Same with websites joining a website is a PRIVILEGE not a RIGHT and therefore the 1st amendment doesn't really apply as the entities is allowing you to join they aren't forced to let you join as joining a website is not a federally protected right unlike the amendments and when you join that website you're agreeing to abide by their rules whatever they may be.

 

Most claiming 1st Amendment violations fail to understand what the 1st Amendment really is, in the gist it basically means you can't be arrest/jailed for bad mouthing someone or posing a picture insulting someone but it also doesn't mean you're free to say whatever you'd like online as they are privately own entines that are not owned by the government and therefore the website has their own TOS which is basically their own constitution which they can then write which can limit what a person can say or do no matter how harsh you think those rules might be and it's not illegal as the person as broken the website TOS and/or rules just like how we have laws website have rules that they can legally enforce again.

 

To be honest I'm surprised Trump didn't try and add something like that to the constitution regarding his own restrictions and bans while in office
