Forum Avatar?

The more that I think about it, this is just ridiculous. Do you even want people to use your forums EA? I mean seriously, you can't even quote text or use an avatar once you have signed up? I have yet to come across a moderator that has posted in the last month on any of your EA forums! I could easily make a better forum for the game on one of my own servers, and wouldn't have all of these stupid restrictions in place!
