GFX Annoucement: Read this NOW, before you post again.

[Juggs]

Spam and flaming has been on the rise here, and I'd like to make a statement.


I am not the only person who can/does moderate this forum, so if your post gets deleted it wasn't necessarily me.


That, however, is of no importance and there is a reason we, the staff, have our titles. If we couldn't distinguish between spam and not spam, critique and five-year-old-posts, we wouldn't have the ability to move and/or delete posts.


Critique should be decently thought out, and this is NOT a place for flame wars.


If you have a bone to pick with someone over anything (deleted post, inappropriate critique, flaming) TAKE IT TO THE PMS or use the report button to report the post. Harassing eachother and nitpicking is not allowed.

I repeat, TAKE IT TO THE PMS.


Thank you.

Remember, when your posting here there are a few guidelines you should follow and questions you should ask your self.

1. does your post have a point? and does it ever get there? Any spam posts will be deleted by moderators. For example "I like it" "very nice" "looks good" will be deleted.

2. is this relevant to the forum? can this be a PM instead?

3. is it even readable? can you honestly say that someone can read it with out slamming their head on the table?

4. are you helping the designer? are you giving them tips? are you pointing out what you like/dont like? Please refrain from foul treatment to other board members, treat others as you would like to be treated. Any comments deemed uncourteous or demeaning in any way will be deleted and further actions may be taken.

5. are you even reading this?

6. CRITIQUE, DONT RATE !!! Our community is unique, and we want our members to give suggestions and critique to their peer's submission, rather than just giving them a rating! This helps them grow as an artist rather than just complimenting / bashing their work!


For more information see the sticky. thanks.
