Hey, i submitted this -blam!-ig and others but i was wondering if bungie takes one of my avatars do i get a special title like the theme builders do?
Oh, and what are bungie's rules for avatars, i had them once but i cant find them now.

Bungie doesn't allow offensive avataras like this one...

Oh, wait. :)

You can view the avatara guidelines here:

Can I use a custom avatar?
Only Bungie employees and Bungie.net staff members are permitted to use custom avatars.

Why 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.

Cool, so how do we do that?
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.


And no, there's no title for making a custom avatara. That's the difference between a fairly complex web page layout and a single gif. :)

I'm guessing its Reiginko's Australian slang.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

*Shudders* Where is the love Myth, where is the love? Here is a description for those of you who do not know about Myth.

Wow nice find but I don't believe avataras have anything to do with avatars, lol.

some Myth avatars would be nice to see. Come on Shishka, you did the shirt, why not some avataras?

Um I'm Australian and I've never heard my Australian friends say that, um but it sounds cool so I'll start using it anyway. :D

Maybe Bungie could allow users to email them about the custom avatars they want to use. If it passes inspection, they get the custom avatar.

Just an idea.

Just a really bad joke that I sometimes make. It's not exceedingly important. :)

Considering we have over 1,000,000 members, that would not work well.

I almost told them that it was a bad joke (in addition to telling them what it really meant), but I didn't want to offend you :)

Some more Myth avatars would be great, there really aren't many Myth avatars.

We...

1) Have too many people at the Bungie website. It would be way too stressful for Bungie.

2) Custom avatars would slow down the website and kill bandwidth.

3) I'd say one in every five avatars would be inappropriate, and Bungie would be wasting their time with this.

How long does it take for bungie to decide weather to accept or reject an avatara?

  • 08.01.2005 12:13 PM PDT

Discipline is my Sword,
Faith is my Shield,
Do not leap blindly into uncertainty,
And you may live to reap the rewards.

"The Important Thing Is To Never Stop Questioning,"

Not long at all. Give it a year and you'll hear back about it.

Those aren't technically custom, their just customizable.
