See, now YOU are breaking the rules and starting a political discussion. Admins? Moderators? Why don't you think the rules apply to you but that I should be censored just because of something you don't like?
I'll agree that I'm feeding into your fantasy, but YOU broke the rules by starting this thread. Its chickbait.....and you know it. "I pointed out political bias" post 27 Well good luck with that. 
Obviously, your not taking this virus that well..... You shut down a few states and the natives get restless....... You sense the end is near....... you see the end is near...... only 200 days left..... you hear the drums beating..... biden
.....Biden.....BIDEN
BIDEN WHO can we blame for such an atrocity? It must be those Mexican moderators on Chess.com ......no wait!....its the Chinese moderators on Chess.com! post 33...." I have a good measure of self-control"....Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha We're gonna test that "self-control". I'm gonna go to bed and later this morning when david finishes his coffee, he's gonna delete this thread. T.Y.david.

If THAT's not the issue then why was this thread started.?
Hey Ronald, Difster is obviously an avid support and wants the world to know it. He is upset an Admin has separated him from his beloved hero. I appreciate Trump supporters being up front by using a Trump icon. One picture being worth a 1,000 words, it speaks volumes of that person and serves as a warning (to me).
And no one is forcing you to play a game against me.
Hey Buddy, you're pi$$ing in the pickles. I'm on your side. I want you to have a Trump avatar. Very much so. It tells me where your politics are, where your thinking is at, everything! I'm fighting for you to get your avatar back. You go guy. Make Yourself Great Again.

Who? I am probably one.
I don't think so. Rommel was well respected by senior Allied officers and was part of the plot trying to free Germany from Hitler. He was forced to commit suicide to spare his family from the Nazis (and Hitler from embarrassment).
I would guess more than half of the people on this site don't recognize your avatar . . .
Well, the plot to kill Hitler, his part in it could be disputed, but that's apart from the REAL discussion

No, this thread does not break the rules. It's not about politics. I've haven't discussed a political position. I pointed out political bias. But you keep telling yourself whatever you need to.
Keep up the fight Difster!

No, it's not political. Have I discussed policy merits or advocated a political position in this discussion? No, it's about being censored because OTHERS are being political. You know that, but you don't care because as long as it's opposed to Trump it's ok. Right?

Just keep talking . . . 
Seriously, I don't care. He is an American president, I'm Canadian. Sure, I don't like him. Many years ago I admired him, have several of his books. His actions speak for themselves . . . That's the long and the short of it.

And immediately after replying to that message, I noticed that my avatar was missing. I've included the avatar that was removed below. I realize that some people are offended at the mere sight or mention of Donald Trump but such an image certainly doesn't meet the "offensive image" definition in the Terms of Service.
Why was this removed? Why are FALSE REPORTS affecting my account?
Could an admin please explain why this picture was removed as my profile pic?
What happened is that a bunch of people that can't abide a mere image of Donald Trump decided to report the image in order to try to get it removed and it seems that an admin or moderator was more than happy to oblige.
Your avatar was offensive because it included a person who was not wearing a face mask. In these times of plague, not wearing a face mask, preferably a N95, is a grave offense. Please draw a face mask onto your photo and reupload it, and it will all be good.

Look, I know you're trying to bait me in to some rule violating tirade but it's not going to happen because I have a good measure of self-control.

The OP is total BS. There are bunches of people I know of who have Trump profile pics. I seriously doubt anyone said anything to him, he's just stirring the pot with phony oppression.

So if the OP thinks his picture is OK because it's free speech, then it must be OK if I put the same picture with the words "BIGGEST MORON IN AMERICA" above it!
I don't care if you do or not. The question is, does it go against the chess.com standards of speech?Seems that it does. Not my call to make so say what you want. By my picture didn't violate the rules.

I got an email from chess.com about some alleged "harassment" and they removed my avatar. Someone obviously reported me. I've had it there for a year and it isn't against the rules. YOU explain it then.
