mrbasil's avatar policies have gotten far too strict.

Seriously. That, or he just hates my avatars for being way too sexy. (Doubt it; have you SEEN some of the avatars around here? They're pure pro! And even more distracting!) This is considered "colors too similar"? I can understand this rejection, but no reason was given. Also, an earlier version of my current avatar was rejected multiple times for having an item that "wasn't out yet", and just DAYS LATER, I saw the same item on TWO other avatars. I know there's a thread for this, but ever since mrbasil took out the "last post" indicator on stickies, they move really freaking slow. My main concern is that first avatar, if you have any suggestions.

who cares if you have a cooler looking avatar on basil? there's been too much threads that complain about their avatars not being accepted i think avatars should be taken out permanently to shut up all you complainers

I would suggest mixing up the colors, Even though it will look messed up... You can find some other colors that mix together perfectly.

My last one got rejected for colours too similar too. That was this one. I have another one going through right now, seeing if that will work.

Yeah, the blues aren't really that similar. EDIT: @ above link looks alot like hers, so I see no reason for it to be rejected.

It is some strange policies he ensues... but my Lightning Bolt got accepted :D Can't be that bad, right?

I have to agree. He did the same thing to me. It took me four tries before I finally got one accepted, which is my current one. Who is he to decide what avatars look cool enough to get passed? They have real, in-game items and they aren't distracting, so there's no reason why he should reject them. Doing so purely on the basis of "I don't like the colors" is pretty inappropriate.

Avatars are such a pain. Just gives ppl more reason to whine and complain about something no one else really cares about

It's just an avatar who cares if it looks good or not...

Well, I like mine a lot. A friend helped me center/do all that other crap to it and it got accepted 1st try. So I can't say the policies are too strict.

PhillyFresh said: " No, it's just why let us have the freedom of having edited avatars, and not accept ones that are edited, poorly or not." and im saying people have no real valid reason why they should even want a "cool" looking avatar with the exception of drawing attention(which isn't really valid at all, but rather goes against your own position of having customized avatars)
