You can submit your own custom avatar for approval, but it will become open for public use.
FAQ EntryWhy not? Other sites let their users upload their own avatars.
We are not allowing custom avatars because inevitably it creates too many problems. Like it or not, plenty of people will upload things that are obscene, offensive and in violation of our code of conduct. We would then have to constantly police all of these files and spend all of our time making sure nobody was doing anything wrong. There's also the risk that certain files could break the site or cause unexpected behavior.
We will, however, let you guys create and submit avatars which could potentially be added to the existing library if they meet the criteria. These will become public domain, which means anyone can use them, they will not be personal.
If you want to create an avatar for Bungie.net, you should make an image file that is 90 pixels by 90 pixels and no more than 20 KB in size. The image should obviously fit our site – i.e. Bungie related in one way or another. We will review and IF we like it, we will add it to our library. Naturally we are trying to maintain quality standards for the site.
When your file is ready, you can send it to 7themes@bungie.com and we'll check it out. Please be patient, don't expect it to show up on our site immediately.
