    Well, I would say the risk is pretty high with an avatar list. Idk, I just know that everytime I've used scoresending, I've gotten frozen D: I even tried the low risk list the last time, still ended up getting frozen. I bet it's me who doesn't know how to use it, therefore I don't recommend it if you're a newb with stuff like that like I am xD

    If you ss on your main, use a long wait time and try to stick well below the review score, if possible. You should be fine as long as you don't send 50 scores at once. I'd recommend no more than two a day, though personally I'd probably send one score every 1-2 days, and have a general progression of scores. Eg., if your current high score on a game is 240 and teh avvie score is 725, it's going to look suspicious if out of the blue you send a score of 800 when you've only previously scored 240. Instead, you could send scores of 370, 540, 615, and the next day send 610, 710, 745. That's what I'd do, especially for my main.

    I agree with Phee, the only thing I would say is if its an avvy score dont send the exact score as these can often be very hard to get!
    Try playing the game first and see what sort of scored you get

    ie:
    27 139 157


    Then send something more like 767

    I've tested this several times. I've made a "semi-main" type account SSed on it, TNT loves to look into these and ice you. It's very dangerous on your main, you have to be very experienced. Personally, I've SSed A LOT, and I've seen the ice rate increasingly rise. Right now, with my Service Thread, it's one of the lower rates of the past 3 years. It used to be very high as sLAUGHTER's SSer began to become popular.

    Sending off a list and getting all the avs is a bit far fetched try doing it on on a holiday and no more than 2 in one day.

    You have to be SO sure with the scores/times. Because being even 1second or 1point off can get you sussed and iced (1 point may seem like an exaggeration, but if you put in an impossible score you'll get iced. That 1point can make all the difference)

    I don't recommend score sending until you've tested the list on a side in no way related to your account. Most score senders do get frozen.

    Just like the second poster, I always get frozen while using a score sender. I think I'm just a newb with them (and all programs expect for GM ones).

    I actually prefer to play games legitimately. Yes, I know it sounds strange. But I have this strange superstition that if I play games legitimately it somehow decreases my chances of getting frozen. I know, it's unlikely, but it's just one of those strange things....

    Avatars is risky. But thats a lot of people's reason for using the SS so I think do it very sparsely. Like one avatar score with lots of very safe scores.

    I use SS to get all my accounts avatars. No ice yet.. maybe because I have a safe list that I have been using for about 6 months.
