          Discussed in pms, almost certainly because of the avatar deletion bug

              Um there is more than 201. Considering when I login to mod client and look there is around 400+

              I retract this guessing the avatar bug wiped half of them.

              So originally 442 were there, now some are missing

                  The avatar ID increments every time an avatar is uploaded. Yes, the highest avatar ID reached is 442, but that includes avatars that were reuploaded, changed, removed for other reasons, etc. This does not mean that more than half of all avatars have been wiped by the bug.

                    If there are avatars in this list that I or others have a right to. Is there someone I can appeal to?

                          Why can't we all get custom avatars of our choosing? What's the big deal. This would be nothing but a plus for FAF

                            We are all suffering so that you won't get one. Tis sad but true.

                              @yew The deal is mentioned in this thread and the discord thread which you apparently didn't follow and the fact that you contributed nothing to the FAF community so it's a hard "no" for your custom avatar anyway imho.

                                  There is a discord thread on avatar policing? My apologies I didn't realise.

                                  The custom ava's for all point went completely over your head didn't it. Tell me, how would custom avatars for everyone be a bad thing? The community is tiny. This would be cool if everyone had an ava of their design and choosing and something akin to a personal profile picture for their Supreme Commander Forged Alliance Forever account.

                                  I understand this would be rather a lot of effort however, and I recognise this will never happen, not that it shouldn't, but it won't cause reason like, Some nonsense about the fact it will take away the meaning of custom ava's people already have; will devalue all those ava's in existence that people have, if everyone has one then you can't distinguish between earned ava's and merely having ava's, and so on and so forth.

                                  "..so it's a hard "no" for your custom avatar anyway imho."

                                  Gosh so many things to unpack there.

                                  Please tell me how you arrived at that conclusion, that I personally want a custom avatar, cause you know we all want those right, they are so cool man, gosh I really love custom avatars for they are really cool and amazing and I really wish I had one for my Supreme Commander Forged Alliance Forever account.

                                  Yeah I could not care less about a custom avatar.

                                  I like how you say hard no, as though there is a difference between no and a hard no, and the fact you put no in quotation marks, what is the point of that exactly? Doesn't make sense in the slightest. "Your custom avatar". What custom avatar would that be then? What makes you say that? Cause I lightly suggested everyone should have a custom avatar, cause you know, cool man. Again, who cares about custom avatar's, tourney avatars, or avatar the movie (actually avatar the movie was good, but not the second one).

                                  I mean obviously you care a lot.

                                  Why?

                                  Because a man's country's leader decided to start a war, now that man can't get paid for a gaming tournament and so as a kind gesture of goodwill and compensation he was given a custom avatar. What is wrong with you?

                                  Let the man have his custom avatar. Why does that bother you so much so you have to create a big post on the forums.

                                  As far as my contribution to Supreme Commander Forged Alliance Forever account goes, well I wouldn't say it's nothing, the fact I play daily is good for the community. As small of a part I play in the survival of this game is, I am still part of the few that keep it alive by playing almost daily. That is a contribution in an of itself.

                                  You telling me I contribute nothing is an egomaniacal statement and you as a mod shouldn't talk down to players like that.

                                  Fine I don't have 50,000 messages in discord "training" people and arguing with people etc...what is your giant contribution to this game exactly?

                                  Anyway I appreciate you gave me your honest opinion on the matter.

                                  "imho" lol.

                                      Everyone gets custom personal avatars on the forum and discord, but a tiny 40x20 avatar only visible in Aeolus is the most valuable thing on FAF.

                                        I was not involved in the decision to put a halt to personal avatars, but I presume it has to do with the difficulties associated with managing avatars. The tools we have make it very difficult to deal with many avatars. If we had better tools it might be worth a new discussion but there's many things before that in need of dev time.

                                        Sladow validly pointed out that there are some inconsistencies with how avatars are managed, and we should have some more straightforward rules and transparency concerning them.

                                          Maybe he was thinking of me. Comparing playing the game everyday to actively contributing to sustaining it seems a bit clown to me.
