Hate symbols, pictures of war criminals, depictions of murder or other criminal acts/illegal substances
Profanity in any language (including ASL and “flipping someone off” or other insulting gestures) or racial slurs
Full nudity, pornographic images

Avatars containing any of the above will be removed, and repeated offenses may lead to account restrictions or closure.
While the above are clearly against our rules, we also reserve the right to change any other avatar that we think has been chosen specifically to cause hurt or discomfort or to 'troll' other members.
We want Chess.com to be a fun, welcoming and friendly place! Please help keep it that way!
