• Do not artificially inflate signatures in your petition.
  Artificially inflating can range from falsifying the signature list (where you record signatures of people who didn't sign or ones you've made up) to using mule accounts to sign or encouraging users to sign by offering rewards.
  
  If the petition creator is caught artificially inflating their petition (through faking the signature list or using mule accounts to sign their petition) or encourages users to artificially inflate petitions then the petition will be removed.
  
  
• To count a post as a signature the user must explicitly say they are signing.
  We allow discussion about petitions in this forum so to count a post as a signature the user must say they're signing. You cannot forbid users from giving reasonable negative feedback on your petition, and statements such as "If you post, you sign!" will result in your thread being removed.
  

__________________________________________________

It was a frontpage location where your own Avatar was featured for one of four reasons. Either you got featured to show off your Avatar, Profile, Aquariums, or Cars. A feature would last an entire week. This allowed others to see your avatar, profile, aquariums, or cars and comment on it being featured.

To get featured you would post in this thread: Interested in being a Featured Avatar for the Gaia Blog

A few years later...
The Feature Avatar got moved, no longer on the front page Featured Avatar was moved to be in the Daily Chance Prize page.

Where Gaiaonline could feature more Avatars at once. Three to be exact would pop up in each daily chance.


A year later...
Nowadays the Daily Chance Featured Avatars are still here, however, they have not changed in a long, long time. The Featured Avatar is broken. It breaks my heart because I loved trying to get featured. When I was I could have exploded with excitement.
This is why I am starting a petition. I want Featured Avatar Back!
Please sign below to help support the moment of bringing back Featured Avatar!
Sign it for all those who spend hours dressing avatars, for those who have crazy profile codes or those with pimped out cars and aquarium tanks.


A lot of Gaian's have asked well if its broke don't worry about fixing it. Well, here is the weird part. The link above for nominating yourself for the Featured Avatar still works. It has as of today 6279 posts and growing. No one knows its broke. Tons of users post to it every day I know I'm subscribed to it. Also if the feature had been disabled by the site moderators why would they leave the avatars visible in the daily chances?

Turns out they never knew or did and did nothing about it.
I have a few images of messages I have been sending to moderators of the site in hopes of grabbing their attention.

This was the first time I message Lanzer after his return.

I waited a year. I know the Admin is very busy.
While I waited I tried posting in Ask the staff and I still do with the same question.

Then after reporting a thread, I decided it was time once more to pester them about the Featured Avatar.

That thread in SiteFeedback was asking what I had been for years now.
Featured Avatar Site Feedback Thread.
I did manage to get the support of the owner of that thread.

I'll be keeping this petition alive.
Now I know who to talk to so I went to Staff Notices and picked every Brown/Orange name I could find to message about this topic.
Currently, these Admin have not seen my message

But these Admin have.

The day I posted this petition I noticed the Featured Avatar Thread was locked!

And the last ever post was on May 25 2018 12:11AM.

Does this mean change or the sudden death of the Featured Avatar?!

Its once again on the "TO DO LIST" just like promosed over a year and a half ago.
So I guess the thread being locked means they are turely going to fix it this time. I hope.

Thank you.

• Why has my name not been added yet?
  Well, we are always working on bugging the admin enough to try and get the answers we seek. However, this has been like pulling teeth. When we are not bugging them we do have lives of our own. We know this is something a lot of people feel strongly about so it is among our top focus to keep this thread updated. Even though you may request to have your name added it will take a little bit of time to get it on our list. We are sorry for this and thank you all for being very patient.
