Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I was just about to ask if the song needed to be credited. Since you are using their lyrics XD

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

i'm wrong, or all subscriptions must be in accordance with the rule?
was already noticing some "rule breakers" in previous competitions.

mainly on the question of size, which according to the rules, must be at most 550x170 px...
ah! And the size in bytes (more than 300kbs in gifs, etc.)

btw, i posted my sign.

[Accidently posted this is submissions when I clicked the wrong tab in my browser.. Sorry!!!!]

well I have some questions about the credits for these contests..

Ok, So if I had downloaded a huge pack of lets say C4D's a long time ago, and use some of those in the work. How do I go about crediting that?
Then I was curious, if you get renders/stock from a place that only members of that said place can view, do I still post a direct link to that render/stock, or just link the home page?

Thank you for your help~

Sorry for not responding sooner, ~Coffee~. What Yabe said is correct. If membership is required to see the website, then a link to the home page is sufficient; just try to credit the original provider of the image in some fashion (preferrably by mentioning the name of the original provider in a situation like this, but if you don't, there is really no way that I could check if I don't have membership to the site myself ).

(I got your PM on the matter, but since you asked here as well, I decided it would be simplest to respond here. I just wanted you to know that I read it though. )

Yeah, the rules apply to everyone and each submission, but I suppose that I am really lenient and soft on such matters. I don't like to delete submissions that don't follow the rules, and as long as the rules aren't violated in a major fashion, I usually let it slide. Also, depending on what rule is being broken (and how severely it is broken), I might let it slide the one time but contact the user if it becomes habitual.

When it comes to the size of submissions, just try to keep the submissions within a reasonable proximity to the the size specifications in the rules. There are some rules that I do strictly enforce, and in those situations, I usually try to contact the user via PM to get it fixed.

Also, I am not omniscient and may miss or misread something. If you ever notice one of the rules being broken, feel free to PM me about it and I will contact that user (but if it is something like a submission being 350KB instead of the max 300KB, then it is not as much of a big deal, while 600KB would be something big).

Well, if the lyric needs credit, could you edit that for me, Tsukisama?^^

Bleeding Heart - Angra

You can check the lyric and the song in this link, guys^^ Sry for the size of the text XD! I thought that song was famous^^' even though it's brazilian.

---

And sorry for the size of the sig. I've been participating on this for more than an year. Many people who used to post even when Leen was taking care used many different sizes. Never thought it was a problem because of that. I can follow this next time^^

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

I added the lyrics credit, but you don't have to feel that it is necessary in each of your posts. (It is appreciated, and I certainly am interested always to find out whence the text in the submissions come, but you won't ever be penalized for not having it. )

For the size, like I said, I am not a big stickler about such things. The size specifications are more as guidelines than solid rules. I just ask that contestants keep the size specifications in mind when making their entries.

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

The new sig contest is now up and ready to go! The new theme is dragon. I hope you like it. I wanted to go with something a little less touchy-feely given the last two themes and thought this would be good for a change of pace. Let me know what you think, and when you guys submit, always feel free to discuss your submissions.

Like always, the voting period for the previous contest has also started. There are quite a few entries in this one and quite a few really good ones at that. I still am unsure for which one I am going to vote. Good luck to contestants! My heart goes out to all of you.

 

[~Coffee~]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

One new question ~ Where is the submission thread for Dragon?

 

[Tsukisama]

Re: All Purpose Sig Contest Discussion Thread 2010

Here is the new submission thread. Whenever a new contest begins, the new submission thread is stickied, and the old submission thread is closed and unstuck. Also, links to the contests are always in the Shoutbox at the top of the screen. (I know some people don't have the shoutbox expanded to show contests, but you really should. )
