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 submitted mine 10/21 and haven't heard anything back. I sent two options in case one didn't work. I even sent a follow-up email this week and again no reply....

I fell out of favor with the Cosa Nostra and I really need a new face fast!! I'm tired of having to constantly duck into alleys and dark corners.

Thanks

Just curious - what about avatars sent the first week in November? Would they possibly be processed by month's end? (I realize you have other things to do besides process Sleuth avatars, LOL!)

Thanks, SS. I just want to say publicly how much I appreciate the work of the volunteers who spend much personal time and effort to improve the quality and enjoyment of the game for all of us. They are taking time out of their days (and/or nights) so that we can reap the benefits. Let's don't forget that, sleuthers! Again, a public thanks to all of you - avatar people, admins, mods, etc. (you know who you are!)
