People who manipulate their ATS Avatar/Account

This is something I have noticed for a while with a few accounts.
These people will basically sign up and then try to stir the pot so to speak and they rig up their avatar so that the report button, them getting stars, are all from what I see muted. By muted I mean you can't even click on them if they say something like "I want to kill myself". the Report button just isn't available because of something they did to hide it.

ZikaVirus boy used to do it all the time.

Why is this allowed?

That`s some weird science for you right there.

a reply to: seeker1963

They are clever and they have dirty little secrets to protect.

Sounds like they have been banned, if there is no way to star posts, report them, or anything of the sort.

Unless you mean something like the avatar text is the same color as the background, thus obscuring who they are making it more difficult to find the little green man.

Otherwise, I don't know to what you're referring.

Can you block the little green man? I didn't think lil' green man was blockable!

This could be your answer, OP, if the avatar and the whole mini-profile have also gone.
If they still have an avatar, though, then they haven't been banned.

I could be wrong, but if any of you remember ZikaVirus boy, he did exactly what I am referring to. They would create an account and the avatar area would be totally blank except for a name. The Mods can verify what I am saying because I found it a sport to contact the mods thru U2U versus the alert system just because this individual figured out how to disable it.

Then they've been banned. The only time the avatar area is totally blank is after a member is banned.

Those are special White House members. They have immunity

Did you try a left click and hold, while scrolling down and across the whole avatar?

If you mean like the above, with just a name where I blurred it out, then they have been Banned permanently.

I thought he ones with " ~ " on it were the banned members.

I cannot see anyone's avatars, only the text, no pictures.

How come I cannot see the avatar pictures? Not even my own. Unless I click on the posters name I see only text.

Because this thread has been necro'd.

On a cell phone you mean? I've never used a cell while on ATS to be honest.

Screenshot of what you are talking about?

Weird.

I see everyone's avatar (that has one) but I also don't see yours unless I view your profile.

I don't know about the other avatars, but yours doesn't appear probably because it's not hosted on ATS, it's an external image.

I cannot apply my photo to ATS for some reason.

I cannot ad any photos to ATS, or videos.
I must have hit a wrong button somewhere.
