As far as I'm aware it has always been against the rules for any non advertising member to advertise in any way which includes in their avatar (animated or not)

That's 100% wrong.

I think you're right as well. I've seen loads of avatars with web addresses on that are not from paid advertisers. Anthony would have stamped on it very quickly if it was against the rules.

BTW, mine is a bit of a mis-representation - I don't smile ALL the time

So where does that say my statement was wrong?

Rather than clogging up Bobby's thread will this discussion it would probably be best for Anthony to provide the correct information to clear this up.

By the way Bobby they are very good, especially for a fiver.

Thanks!

Funny you should say that because I was about to say if Anthony could come in and mediate this question...

There seems to be some confusion over our terms on this, apologies for the delayed entry to this thread. Thank you, Michael, for bringing it to our attention.

Members are forbidden from advertising their own websites/products/services or in any way soliciting business via their avatars and/or profile pictures unless they are registered advertisers here on TWF. Whilst we are content to see some form of brand association, so long as it is of a docile nature, this should not be confused with any form of solicitation. Further, it is at the discretion of TWF staff to remove or suspend the ability of particular members to have avatars (this will more than likely be the case if members choose to abuse our terms on avatars).

We do our best to remain visual of avatars that breach our terms but unfortunately all of these have to be manually reviewed rather than pre-verified by automated systems. Community members can assist with this process by reporting member avatars outside of our terms. A word on animated avatars, these are restricted to certain usergroups, hence why only advertisers may upload them.

I trust that clears any confusion regarding our stance on this.

Many thanks.

Thank you for the clarification Anthony

I might have a personal one done, could be a bit of fun.
