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.

I wouldn't worry too much, Fatima. I submitted mine on July 22nd and you can see what I have. As far as I'm concerned, the Expansion is a lot of work and I'll just wait patiently.

I'm strongly considering slipping SS a large-denomination bill just to find out what the cutoff date of the last batch sent to Ben was... so I could know if I'm waiting for approval, editing, or implementation.
It's 3 in the morning right now, and I'm bored... otherwise I wouldn't THINK to whine about this :)

lol... I'll PM you as well Serges but yeah you went through in my last batch I sent through a couple of days ago. Obviously Ben is very busy with the expansion, and that takes precedent over avatars, which is fair enough. But anyone who sent an avatar in as of a two or three days ago has been processed by either Nikkie or me, and is awaiting uploading/approval from Ben.

Murderstern: It's a BEAUTIFUL avatar, I love it :D
And I'm also slightly worried that my avatar didn't go where I sent it... But I guess we'll just have to wait and see :)
