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.

Hey kids,

just a quick av update to those who've submitted avs lately (I know I've been emailing people telling them I've got their avs and am processing - but it won't hurt to double up)

I've had some computer problems, (lost a hard drive, emails etc blah blah my problem not yours) so I'm just catching up on 'stuff' now.

so hang tight, it's happening.

Hey SS I know that you've been having pc problems & that Ben has been busy w/updates but I've been waiting a really long time to see my face in the world of Sleuth...Is there any chance you can give me an update on when I might see it? Unless there's a problem b/c my last detective was retired.Please let me know.Thanks.

Hey Love, no, no problems with your avatar. Ben knows about the change of detectives (both you and fionaghal2) so yeah there's that batch from way back that you're in that Ben has, and the week before last (when I was able to get onto a work computer) I sent Ben about 28 or so new Avs. And that is as much as I can say. The apartments, by the looks, have been a LOT of work and a great acquisition to Sleuth, so you take the good with the bad, eh. I'll find a list of the last lot I sent in, so people will at least know they're 'in the lap of the Gods', so to speak.

Is it possible to change my avatar after it's already been changed once? I'm tired of my old picture.

Yes cenoe it is. Same process as before. Email in the new pic and just say "I want a new picture damn you". :D There won't be a new batch for a while though. Ben's got 30 + to put up, so I'm not going to drown the poor man further :)

Are we getting an answer (mail or PM) when the avatar is rejected ? Cause I can't know if this is because of a long waiting line, or because mine has been rejected.
