[quote=diabolicious]Be sure to perfect the rules before implying it [quote][b]RULES:[/b] [b]Please be reminded that graphics are totally all over the place, so it would be better to post your OWN original work.[/b][/quote] It says would be better to post but it doesnt say you should only post your OWN original post.. then inside the rule quote says [quote]Avoid putting avatars, signatures, glitters, graphics, that are found in some sites. Be sure to put your OWN work here. Requests for graphics should be posted in the specific thread of the graphics creator. Ready made graphics from other sites are not allowed. If you want to share it, put the link instead in the compilation. Request threads that are inactive for 3 weeks will be closed and deletd. Premades: Post graphics atleast 8. premade threads with less than 8 graphics will be deleted. Request threads that are spammy and has lots of posts not in english will be closed![/quote] First it says I should put my OWN work now, that will make some terrible misunderstanding.. but not to those who arent that smart to figure some flaws in the rules :midfinger: Second, it also says to [b]"Avoid putting avatars, signatures, glitters, graphics, that are found in some sites."[/b] It needs to be a bit more specific.. at least say forums and/or search engines another rule said [quote]Ready made graphics from other sites are not allowed. If you want to share it, put the link instead in the compilation.[/quote] Link eh? you can see the link by just clicking right click.. I just embedded the images so that it will be easy for others to choose their avatars If I may presume.. there are no further rules that I have mistakenly accused for.. correct me If Im wrong I want my topic to be investigated and be re-opened if you've proven my alibi in case I am right :gift: Thanks... P.S: I dont have a grudge on anyone[/quote] Oh come on, don't be stubborn. READ CAREFULLY. [quote]RULES: Please be reminded that graphics are totally all over the place, so it would be better to post your OWN original work.[/quote] It means that it's better to post your original artwork than use other people's artwork in this forum. It's a comparison, hence the word "better". But... It is definitely NOT implying that it's good to post other people's artwork in this forum nor is it implying that we should only post our original artwork. It merely says that its better to be genuine and original than [to] be fake or use stolen artwork or steal other people's artwork. [quote]"Avoid putting avatars, signatures, glitters, graphics, that are found in some sites."[/quote] In other words, avoid using other people's artwork found in some sites (some sites because if you happen to own a site with your own original artwork, then that's EXCLUDED). Simply put, avoid other people's artwork in this forum. You might have [only] embedded the images, but you were actually encouraging members of this forum to steal or use other people's artwork. And you know that is bad (in this forum because it has its rules for us to follow). Yeah you can give a link to the avatars (and tell people how cool they look)... that is not a crime... But to use the avatars in the forum and tell people to save them on their 'puters and upload to the forum for use as their avatars is tantamount to STEALING, and you know in a place like this forum with its own rules, that is a CRIME. IMHO, I believe the thread HOT FRIENDSTERTALK AVATARS http://theftalk.com/t12128-%5BHOT%5D-FriendsterTalk-Avatars.html should be closed, junked to the recycle bin and teach some people a nice lesson so that all can follow the rules and no one should be above the rules or the mods who execute the rules. . Btw, I cant believe there were some mods who actually used those avatars and did break the rules themselves. hehehe Kudos to ' 'eMokIdD for doing a great job as a moderator
