Sandi,
The rules also say...
Your "Best/Default Pic" must be clearly of yourself, without helmet and not in the middle of 50 other people either. It should be a recent portrait photo of yourself, or as near to this as possible.
Shall I change your photo?
They also say...
We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time or to remove any photo without reason pending investigation. Every decision is up to the individual moderator checking your profile. Where a moderator wants a second opinion, your profile will be added to a "holding area" until another moderator makes a decision. Any questions should be directed to the moderators via the contact page
Shell, regarding event photos. The rules state...
By uploading a photo to Biker Match, you indicate that you own any necessary copyrights to that photo. Uploading also permits Biker Match to use the photo publicly on the website and also in advertising material for the website. Biker Match will never sell your photos or pass on to 3rd-parties for other uses, though we may use photos in our own printed or digital advertising. By agreeing to have your photo taken at our events you give full consent for your photo to be used online indefinitely. We will not remove your event photos should you choose to leave the site.
Additional rules are often added when the need arrises. i.e. Someone takes things a step too far and says "well there's nothing in the rules saying I can't create a fake profile of a sheep". The things in the rules are there for us to refer back to should we need to take action against someone for something they've done. They are not necessarily hard set black n white rules that can't be bent.
Something like 80% of profile photos break the rules but we're flexible and allow them to stay. Only about 10% which are not acceptable are changed (i.e. a pic of a sheep/kitchen etc).

I did that and you changed it for one you preferred which was an OLDER photo.
I just don't get you
It's a real ball-ache to move posts. I have to write a load of code in the database and figure out which messages need moving etc.
Ok discussion over. Get back on topic and stop dragging the site down. Bloody killed the atmosphere once again
Don't worry Bill, I've booked him for next year for you; lol. Not sure who he was. I think he may have been with the TT but can't be 100% sure of that so in answer to your question, no idea. I know I could have said that in less words but want to make sure I get enough in to boost my karma; lol.
