Welcome to the WEBMAZE® Avatar Guidelines.
The size is left primarily up to the Room Leader's discretion. However, the recommended maximum size for avatars should be no greater than 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels high for optimal performance. The room leader has the responsibility of curtailing excessively large avatars that interfere with the smooth function of the room.
Animated avatars and graphics are limited to use only for brief periods of time for specific reasons. Such reasons may be for slave dances, special events, celebrations, award prizes, etc. It is left to the discretion of the Room Leader if such are warranted within each room. Use of animated avatars and graphics should not be permitted for normal, regular, chat activities.
Sections of WEBMAZE® may have different regulations regarding avatar size. Keep this in mind when visiting other sections. Each room may also have its own room specific guidelines. These specifics can most usually be found on the room's entry page. Some prefer larger avatars, while other prefer what I tend to deem postage stamps. These postage stamps are most usually found in some of the older longest existing rooms and remain so out of the desire to never forget our roots. You may also find rooms that use postage stamps and HTML coding to align all the chatters the same as in modern texting methods just to maintain uniformity. We try not to dictate how our chatter appear so long as they abide the room requirements within reasonable expectations.
Our Graphics Coordinator, working with Admin, Staff, and Room Leaders should be able to answer your questions and help with your Avatar needs.
