Pixel Joint Forum: WIP Rules -- Read before posting!

Message

   RULE #1: Label non pixel art topics with NPA
We've eliminated the "Other Art" section so if you want to post your non pixel art you can do it here, BUT please make sure if you are posting non pixel art in this section that you label it NPA which stands for Non Pixel Art.  
Example topics...

Horse scene  <--- Pixel art 
NPA: Painting of my cat   <--- Non pixel art 
NPA: Sketch of yer mama  <--- Non pixel art 
New dog piece <--- Pixel art
Make sense? If it does not make sense consult a physician immediately. Why did we eliminate "Other Art"?  Because it was getting very little use and it's nice having fewer sections.
RULE #2: If it's a WIP that means it's a Work In Progress
I'm too lazy to write more rules right now... everyone has been pretty cool on the forum so far so there's no real need to be hardcore with the rules.

	RULE #2: If it's a WIP that means it's a Work In Progress that's right kids. Please don't post pixels that you never plan to update. It's frustrating to consistently give out comments and suggestions to people that will never use any of them. So often we see people submitting their WIPs to the main site without any updated versions. What's the point of a WIP section if you don't want to learn and grow from other people's wisdom? oh, and Rule #3 - we do not talk about fight club

	What about if people are done with a sprite to the extent they're willing to work on it, but would still appreciate critique, so as to treat it as a "learning experience" that they could maybe use for the next sprite they do? I don't necessarily think stuff posted needs to be continually updated. There doesn't really seem to be a show-off place for things like that, if this forum section is specifically for WIP's.

	Hye this is the first time in a forum. And the first I have a problem with one of my pictures. What can I do when i find a text like this. All my pictures are handmade that's all what I can say. Who can help me? This is not to say you cannot resubmit the piece in the future after revising it. We encourage you to participate in our forums which include a Work in Progress (WIP) category. This is a great opportunity to gain knowledge and feedback for your pixel pieces before submitting them for approval on the main site. If you feel this is a mistake please post a FRIENDLY message in the Resources/Support section of the forum and we'd be happy to discuss it with you. Responses to this issue within the gallery site will be ignored.ye that's my first post in a forum. What can I do if I have get a message at my picture like this

	Thiara13: This is most likely referring to Krumm, which has been marked as a rip from a video game. At the moment, all of your gallery is now being in question and is marked for possible deletion unless you can provide proof of your having made these from scratch. The beauty of the WIP forum is you can show your progress from start to finish and NOBODY will question its origin. I would not have posted this statement in the open like this to save you from ridcule but you only posted part of the revision message from what I can tell.

	Just wondering- is there a rule about 'progression through other's edits?' IE, when someone posts, how much of your reply has to be words and how much should be an edit? And possibly more crucially, how much of other's edits is considered yours? I know that this is a bit of a necropost, but the rules should always be updating and changing with time.

	So, if double posting is not allowed, how do people realize when there was an update to a thread, in which no one has commented after the last comment of the artist? Scenario (if you're short of time, skip this and just read the questions at the end): Artist A makes a new wip thread. Artist A continues to work on his piece. Day(s) pass by. Artist A updates the wip thread but has to do this by editing his last(or the opening) post, because nobody has commented in between, because perhaps everybody thought there was nothing to comment yet. In the meantime however the thread already went to page N(wherever) and maybe some people would now think that there is something to comment, but they forgot about the thread and so they never get to see the update... ...yadda, yadda, yadda, to make this short: After how many days of getting no comments is it allowed to bump the thread(by double posting) to notify readers that there was an update? Or is double posting strictly disallowed in every case?

	double posting is taken on a case by case scenario. Obviously if someone has an updated image they want to show and no one has bothered to comment regarding the previous image, it should seem acceptable. Granted, just because you've moved a few pixels to the left or something minor as such, it would be a waste of time on the posters part to even bother to update.

	I understand that minor updates issue, thanks for clarifying. So I guess, it'll be safe to only ever bump anything after a minimum of three days/evenings (only counting "active" days though, not counting idle days on which no work at all went into a piece).

	This rules section Sucks XD I can't find what I'm looking for! Okay, so somebody uses an art piece for there line art, but that person hasn't asked permission from the artist. Like here for example: link to thread/topic This to me is misleading. And not right and seen to me and maybe others as art/work ripping. And no! I do not think that it appropriate to call this type of thing referencing art. As I do not know the RULES XD, I did not inform a moderator. Also I'm older than Jal!I think ? I thought he was like a 30year old guy or something like that. :). Actually I still do not know. I will find out though. Edited by Jim16 - 03 December 2008 at 9:43am

	jal is older than time itself. XD As for lineart, no permission is needed to use lineart. Especially if it comes from here. (Unless I somehow misunderstood the question.) edit: Ok, so I just re-read that tank topic that you linked to. The lineart for the tank was just a ref pic. Not really a huge deal. Look here for explanation. (jal, a lot of the pics are missing, need to replace them.) :O

	That cleans allot up, But I have that pic on my pc. It has 32 colours and as far as I know is seen as line art. as far as refs go. they should be references not an exact copys. He hasn't scaled it down, and has done an easy colour reduction. As far as I know this is a rip. He hasn't credited the artist and as far as I know hasn't asked for permission. I'm not arced about this really XD Jal is king and unfortunately not all of us have the same morals. So I will say I don't like it. End of story. (oh Mr Green I am sorry about my annoyance I'm full of sh*t :P )

	Then it might have been too simple. If you want, create a topic in "resources and support", and the mod who actually sent it back might give you the full reason.
