This is ridiculous. I'm out. Bye bye
Why are you 'out'? You can add the 'profile picture' aka avatar when you have 126 activity and become a Full Member.
According to my calculation, if you post in all 2-week periods, you'll get the status on 16th February, 2016. That 2-week period will start at 1:40 PM UTC. After an hour waiting the activity update, you'll be able to add the avatar.
