Because you were a Commander before the purge. The avatars probably aren't selected on rank as you post, only when you try and change.
Now. Say something funny.

We should turn this thread into a "bring back postcounts" thread so we can make sure.
Thereby, we haven't had one of those threads around for some time now, and we have to keep Karm on his toes, no?

Xillahs forum wish list:
1) html enabled
2) Postcounts
3) Custom Avatars
None of these will happen ofcourse. ever. (even though every other jolt forum has them)

nah.... only the postcounts are on my wishlist. Image tags, HTML and custom avatars are just too easilly abused and would thus break more than it would fix. That's one thing that I certainly agree with the mods.
There is enough room for postcounts though IMO.

and that you are gay and trying to find some manly company in these forums.
we should really have a "Dating"-forum attached to these so that ppl like iniluki can find the company they long for.

HTML, image tags, and custom avatars are not "cool".They are to easily abused. I do in fact long for the days where custom ranks were hard to get. But then again, im strange!
Postcounts would have been fun, but its not neccesary. But fun is fun.
I dont think the search function is fully trustabale, as i have few posts(in the search) now then i had when larryfish was enabled.

Didn't you see the Jolt thing that happened? HTML in posts is bad and will result in broken templates and malicious scripts.
Custom avatars is bad because there are always people who will be pushing the limits.
It's not as easy as ban & fix. It brings a whole lot of work and puts more pressure on the mods to decide what is acceptable and what is not. If you just look at the crap they take now just for deleting a dubious post or signature. You don't want to get started with avatars if you can already predict that this is going to happen.
With postcounts I can live. Yes there will be "look at my postcount" threads, but I don't believe they will be that bad, or even a daily occurence. Neither do I believe that they encourage spam. If you implement a top10 page, yes, I can see problems with this, but postcounts in itself don't encourage spam and will show how active one is in the community.

I'll give you html, but img tags would be pretty nifty still.
As for custom avatars you would get ****tards (i love that word) that would spoil it but the novelty would wear off eventually.
Postcounts would be nifty but i think karm said they would never return ever. bitch
sadly het none of the above anyway though.

it's always the ****tards who spoil everything for the ones with good intent. If we all were model-forum-users we would have had imagetags, HTML and avatars by now. But because we aren't, we don't have them.
So, either we, the normal forum users, can kick or alienate the ****tards, becoming all "boring" model-users, like on Jolt, or we can put up with the ****tards, have a good "on the edge" thread once a while, and leave the HTML and avatars for what they are.
I choose for the latter option though.

theres a difference between bending the rules a bit like most of us do and and being a complete ****tard. When i say some twat would **** it up i mean the admins will wake up one morning and see long hard ****s or somthing in a bunch of peoples avatars. Then a week later a couple of other ppl will have some other filth in there. A week after that avatars would be gone.
