Hey, bass resource moderators why does my profile pic with the Abu Garcia logo  keep resetting

[BubbaBassin’]

I’m no moderator, but I assume due to the information in the posting rules, relating to no advertisement for a specific company. Correct @roadwarrior?

Im not a mod. But i believe there is a rule against "plugging" companies with your avatar pic.

From our forum rules and FAQ's.

 

Any posts deemed promotional are subject to this rule - regardless of your affiliation (or lack thereof) with said product, company, website, etc. In essence, any and all promotional posts are prohibited. Even if you're not selling anything, posts can still be considered "promotional".

For example:

• Don’t change your screen name to reflect your business.
• Don't make your avatar your company YouTube logo. The avatar, signature and other profile areas are not free advertising space. Please do not post your logo, branding, etc. there. It will be deleted. Only non-promotional logos, such as sport team logos, military affiliations, country flags, etc. are allowed for non-sponsors.
• Don't use promotional language or images anywhere in your profile.
• Don't put your company's logo in your signature or "About Me" section.
• Don’t put a link to your own website or YouTube channel in your signature or or "About Me" section. (You may place it in the "Website" section of your profile, however.)
• Don't link to your own articles, pod casts, videos, YouTube channel, etc, if they are promotional in nature.
• Don't link to your own website or YouTube channel, except for the designated area in your profile.
• Don’t promote your company or YouTube channel in posts.
• Don’t send PM’s to our other members promoting your company or YouTube channel or asking them to promote your company. This will get back to us and we will send you packing.
