Random lnsanity / Graphics Posting
« on: May 02, 2008, 12:08:21 am »
So, I made a few avatars for the contest Evil Greg Guy (or is it Evil Guy Greg? =P), and the following remarks were made. I felt like debating it, but also didn't think that that particular thread was the correct spot, considering it was in the graphics section, and there's already this snazzy forum set up. (Note that I haven't the foggiest idea how to use the "Quote" whatsit, so I'm just going to be using good ole C&P)

Why are you posting images? I don't see your name on the roster.
Not to be rude, but seriously.

lol - shut up Flask. tongue.gif
Telling him where to sign up would be much more helpful.

He can sign up if he wants to, but until then he shouldn't be posting images.

I thought you would be happy that someone new is interested in helping out in the GT.. Try and be a lil more welcoming. tongue.gif
Something along the lines of "Nice pictures. If you're interested in becoming a member of the GT, post here. Then we can make you official" would have been much better.

Once again, he can apply at any time, but he should not be posting images as it stands.

I never knew there was rule saying people had to be members of the GT to post pictures here.. (link to post with that rule please?) If this is the case, I think it should be changed. I might talk to Queue1 about it later and see what he thinks.

So you're saying anyone should be allowed to make images for requesters when those requesters asked the GT to do it? How is that fair to us?
Endquote.
Now, my question is, why can't someone who isn't registered for the GT post images? Even though I was pretty sure this wasn't a request thread, but a contest (one that I was hoping to win, as I could use a lil extra cash, considering my nation makes approximately 3,000 a day). Assuming it WAS a request thread, however, I still don't see why it isn't fair. If someone wants to make something, as a gift or just in a flash of creativity, they shouldn't not be able to just because they haven't signed up (yay double negative!). And if they are only interested in doing one thing, I don't think they should be bound to be in the GT just for that one siggy.
But wait, you say, the GT people have committed themselves to making graphics for requesters, and it's not very courteous for someone to just jump in and make a siggy or banner for a request, especially if someone has already put in time and effort to make a very nice looking sig. True, and if done in this spirit, I agree that it's a totally jerk move. But I doubt that the majority of people who'd post a gift siggy would be doing it just to spite the GT people...not to mention the fact that most people don't seem too troubled with having multiple banners in their sigs...
Anyways, that's just what I was thinking. Feel free to tear my argument to tiny, inconsequential shreds...or just let the thread fester and die...whichever you prefer.
Cheers!
