Hello,

The old email address that we used to receive new avatars is now so overrun by spam as to be pretty useless.

So, from now on, please send any pictures you would like to use for your detective avatar to this address:
sleuth.avatars@gmail.com

The rules:
1) This offer is only open to current subscribers.
2) Portrait photos only. No cartoons, illustrations, full body shots, etc.
3) Try to stick with the style of the game.
4) We reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason. The most common reasons we refuse are:

It can take up to six weeks to turn around avatars, so please don't freak out if you don't hear back right away.

If you sent an avatar to the old address that has not yet been posted, please resend it to this address.

Thank you! (And thanks to the volunteer avatar wranglers who help get these prepared and posted).

ASAP ... S means slow right. I like to ease my way into these things. End of the Sleuth Week will be when I send them off. "

Ben, shouldn't that be landscape photos not portrait photos?

I have 8 or so avs sleutherised, but without access to the old email account I can't match up avatars to email addresses etc. And Hanz one of the reasons why we've changed email addresses is because yours never came through along with three others. So sorry people, a small amount of pain to resubmit, but overall gain for everyone I hope.

Ben means portrait as in face or profile. Not the format of photo. Dimensions don't really matter that much as we have a squirrel who can sleutherize them.

Just an FYI, the common reasons for refusing avatar photos under number 4 are missing.

Glad you mentioned that Tre I thought it was my eyes or something :)

lol poor Ben. Personally I liked "we reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason" . All it was really missing was a 'ner ner' and a ':p'.

Yeah, that should read:
4) We reserve the right to refuse to post avatar images for any reason.

Ben was one-hand typing with a baby again. FYI, the reason we refuse avatars are because they step outside the rules.

Is this also the address we should use for photos we just want to submit for general use?
