Subscribed players can submit their picture to be used as an avatar. Please go to city hall "submitting content to sleuth" for details on how and where to submit. Avatar changes are however a freebie donated by the sleuth team and community volunteers. Reason why it is for subscribed people only is because too many avatars were received to keep up.

The process:
1. People submit avatars which all end up on the sleuth mail server.
2. Once in a while volunteers (Secret Squirrel and myself) pick up the avatars, and get to work if there are more then 5 avatars that we can approve.
3. We approve, and "sleutherize" the pictures. This is a process I won't bore you with.
4. We send the approved and sleuthererized avatars to Ben.
5. We post in this thread who's pictures have ben sent for upload.
6. Ben uploads, and they are live.

There is no need to keep submitting your avatar if you don't hear anything. Avatars sending is as reliable as email is. And we don't log in daily, hence why we are not answering you. There is no need to PM us either as to when we are going to do them. We will get to them, when we have time. If you PM us, that's exactly what we'll tell you. Just keep your eye on this thread.

Avatars that didn't get approved will receive email as to why, and with instructions how to fix the problem. They can them make the next batch.

Common reasons for rejection:
It is already an avatar submitted by someone else in Sleuth. It is not a picture of a person, ie. cartoons, drawn pictures, animals, objects.
Extreme poor quality (too poor to even be properly visual), Pictures that may create offence, copy righted pictures, people submit an avatar for someone else, and want it to show up without that other persons knowledge or permission, not adding the detective name to which they like the avatar to be added, other pictures that are for some reason not in line with the many avatars we already see in this game.

Titus as far as i'm aware you will only get an e-mail if your avatar has been rejected. So as the saying goes no news is good news :). SS will post a list on here of detectives whos avatars he has sent to Ben and then Ben will post when they have been put up. And yes sometimes it can take a while for this to happen so don't worry :).

Hope that makes some sense :)

Glad somebody else is checking this thread lol, thanks HC :)

And just as well you asked Titus04, coz if you've send an email in the last couple of days to:

avatars@hypoware.com

with the name of your detective clearly mentioned somewhere in the email, then I'm sorry to say I don't have it!

Send again... make sure Titus04 is mentioned in the subject header... I'll let you know when I get it.

If you're not on the list, that either means it never came through or I deleted it. The rate of deletion is higher if you happening to peddling viagra as well as those emails automatically get spammed... Sunny's request not Ben's :)
