No one is given intentional preferential treatment when it comes to avatars. It is a strict limit, as laid out in the rules. Chances are, the people made over 250 posts in areas that are no longer counted towards the post count. Thus, their profiles have a much lower number than the actual number of posts they made. The rules changed as far as posts counting in some forums, and they happened to be around before they did in that regard.
Another possibility is that when we upgraded software versions there was a time in which everyone was able to use avatars. For some reason, theirs may not have been removed when the setting was put back to 250 posts.
Thanks for giving input, but please PM one of the mods or admins first when you have a concern rather than making a public thread. This helps to prevent misunderstandings from snowballing.
