Because moderators can't change anything from your about, so if there's an unnecessary image, the moderators can't do anything but ban.

I don't know, I think that would be cool.

Besides Plokkey's reason, it would take up a lot of space, and it would annoy people. Such as the computer art of swords and stuff people have now.

For different reasons. It will slow down the website a great deal, when it has to load a bunch of pictures.
There is nothing that stops people from posting nudity and other pictures that is not allowed in a pg13 website.
There is no real reason for this.
Some people might upload pictures of themselves, which they should not.

I agree with plokkey 100% that would pose serious problems for AG staff.

That's different Flippin. Moderators have control over our forums. Which helps prevent stuff like that from happening. In your abouts Moderators aren't aloud to change your personal information that would prevent them from removing any images from our abouts.

I think it could make AG more rude and sick so I think its fine with no images in your about for now.

Inappropriate images would be likely.

That's right and what happens if you're family member was with you and saw a picture of bad things. I don't think they would enjoy it.

because that's how the AG staff wanted it to be, ok
what's the point of having images anyway?
some people might put inappropriate images un their abouts, maybe that's the reason why they won't let us put images in our abouts.

Inappropriate images is probably the best answer.
Maybe the AG staff wanted no images in peoples abouts, because it is easier to just delete the comment or post it was in than to look up a users password and go into their about.

Well, congratulations you guys said exactly the same thing! You need to say something different because you just stated the obvious.

Ok, reasons why NO pictures allowed in about:
1) Spam, maybe someone might put a huge picture of a cat saying MEOW! See that is just annoying!
2) Advertisements, like those annoying adds saying, free XBOX! And then they ask for your credit card info? <- That is just obvious right there
3) Inappropriate/ Nude paraphernalia that might include pornography or gestures like the middle finger. Maybe even drugs of alcohol.

With that said, I think this can be locked o_o
