Becoming a hero

So...I guess some of  you guys know, I have multiple disabilities. Apparently this is because of something that happened to me when I was an infant, we discovered, that caused all of these ill effect...

    Hey there! 

    First off, I want to thank you for being so open and vulnerable. It takes a lot of courage to share, and I truly appreciate it. Your honesty about your impression and understanding of what it takes to be a Hero lets me know we have some work to do on our side to help clear up some things around that, and I'll do my best to work on that.

    I noticed this topic of conversation is similar to this thread. I totally understand why the ability to upload is a hot topic and drives a good amount of discussion. 

    Just like my colleague EA_Cade mentioned, we're still working on many features on the EA Forums so additional requests will have to wait until core functionality and features are finalized. 

    However, not only do we face technical challenges for enabling upload of custom avatars/pictures, but we are also bound by online digital legislation and regulations. Ensuring content shared and uploaded to our forums is already a majority of our regular tasks and focus so adding additional resources to vet each profile picture upload would stretch our ability to ensure all content is safe for everyone.

    So bringing this back to why members of the Superuser program have the ability to upload customized avatars and profile pictures, they have gained the trust not only of the EA staff but also the community as well.

    I hope this helps answer some questions about custom profile pictures. If you have any questions about the EA Superuser Program, visit our SU Programpost or feel free to DM me!

LaunchSneezes  Reading your post makes me sad. I think it's almost two months since I wrote a feedback that I find the whole system of highlighting the most liked and similar highlights very exclusionary. I will certainly never receive hero status for that point of view.
Your post proves once again that the idea of ranked earned rights makes people who don't see themselves ready to enter that race feel excluded and losers in advance.

I just want to say that whatever your starting point is, you shouldn't feel excluded. You also shouldn't need to find more arguments and write another post to support your position
Our forum should be spacious and a platform everyone can feel at home in. It should be a matter of course that one should be helpful and friendly. It should not be emphasized as a special quality. I think we are all helpful and friendly to the extent that we are capable of it.
I still haven't understood the reason why we haven't all been given the rights to choose a personal profile picture from day one. Certain rules could be set that exclude images that some might find offensive.
I'm not sure if this makes you feel any better, but I just want to say you have my full sympathy. 🥰
