Gentlemen (especially valthonis, the only poster with 30 or more posts without an Avatar),
Almost all of the top posters use Avatars . . . this makes finding your posts easy . . . thus allowing you to scroll down and find your last post so that you can read the comments that follow.
It is very easy to get an Avatar (the picture or image beside posts). Go to your Profile; find "Members Bio" in white at top of column; . . . then click on "Modify Profile" (first item in yellow).
Now scroll down about a third of the way until you see "Avatar" . . . you can now either use one of those provided OR use an image of your choice.
After selecting your Avatar, REMEMBER to scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "Modify Profile" box to SAVE your choice.
Some people use photos of their favorite ship or model, some use images from a movie or TV show; some might use a photo of themselves or their pet or whatever . . . I use a "blue bear" flag from my SYW Imagi-Nation.
It doesn't really matter what you choose (subject to good taste), the important thing is to have a nice easily recognizable image that says "you".
Go ahead and try it . . . it's easy.

Nope. Not "discrimination"; but RECOGNITION.

I should point out that you don't have to be a "top poster" to get an Avatar . . . it helps to identify you even if you just have a few posts.
Come on, guys . . . choose an identity!
