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.

Ok glad those new few are up.

topkebab... I don't know what's goin on with your av sub. I've PM'd you with a work around. There is a fairly strong XXX filter on the av account. Maybe some middle eastern adult film star also goes by your detective name :s

Chekova and | 3 1 4 (who knew there was a '|' key :s) I have yours as well as naughteeboy's and Ujio God'sChild.

Hanz Nachtman... you might have to send that again. It was in the spam folder. And I might have purged the spam folder without shifting your email. Sorry.

And from the wonderful world of the Sleuth Avatar Spam Folder: Did you know that an email entitled: 'Your little soldier will grow up to be a big love general' is neither an advertisement for a military biography OR a new campaign slogan for John Kerry.... go figure!

well SS i guess "love" and "soldier" don't usually go hand in hand... except in certain niche parts of the internet... or so i'm told :P
