Please change the age restriction on custom gamerpics.

It's a bit bothering that people under 18 have no choice but to wait a year or longer to change their profile picture to something they like. Frankly, I'm not sure why the age restriction is there in the first place. Although, if the restriction is really
needed, make it something that a parent could change in the privacy settings for their child, or something.

I know that a forum post is nowhere close to enough to make a change, so hopefully this uservoice post might help
a bit.

Age restriction on custom gamerpics

You can leave your feedback and suggestions over at feedback.xbox.com but unfortunately for now the age restriction is in place on users with the age on their account below 18. The age on an xbox account is permanent and cannot be changed.

 

Age restriction on custom gamerpics

I would like to know why there is an age restriction on custom gamer pics I mean come on I just want a picture of Tony abbot to appear whenever I come online. On a serious note though I made my account 4 years ago when I was 12 and put my correct Dob I didn't
realize at the time why you would lie until a year later I now say I'm 21 for every account I make. Back to when I made the account, it wasn't too long until I realized battlefield 3 was not allowing me to play online when I got it for my birthday which sucked
but o well but that was really the only issue I've ever had with the age from what I can remember. I decided, however, to wait until I turned 18 and my account became an adult Luckily by 14 I was allowed on battlefield servers and other ea games which were
great because my true age wasn't a problem at all. now I'm 16 and wanting to change my gamer pic but it seems that I have to wait another 2 years just to do that because of a stupid restriction I know you can make a new account but it never crossed my mind
to make a new one back then because I didn't really have a reason to and now I have a 4-year-old account I've invested my time and effort in and i don't want to give it all up for something so simple as a gamer picture. Rant over I just would like to see this
restriction lifted or my accounts dob changed if you don't care then i guess I'm waiting...

 

The best place to give feedback is over at feedback.xbox.com as it seems you've done

 

Yeah, I figure I could post both a forum post for discussion and a feedpack.xbox.com post for actual voting on the idea.
