well this post went a bit "off track?". But a while back, i suggested a possible "graphics guild" type thing. This was one of the reasons why, because of all the noobs....

 

Well if I was a moderator, this is when I would press the "lock" button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah, but you're not, how ironic eh?

 

 

 

Erm ok. I try suggesting solutions on stopping this pointless post where everyone keeps saying anything they want, and a mod says "haha.. this is ironic". Well ok then, let's just keep it until this topic reaches 30 pages of pointless comments. Which you strongly help to build as well GreatSilverWyrm.

I've had my doupts about you GSW. But now I'm pretty sure that you are more than a decent fella! :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This matter has been stirred enough. I can resist the temptation to take part. *leaves*.

This forum is a part of these boards, and as far as I am concerned, our goal is not to scare newbies (In no way using the term as an insult) away. These boards may have been declining in quality in terms of the stuff posted, I wouldn't know as I very seldom check it. This might no longer be a board where you can look and expect most threads to contain high-quality work. I wouldn't know. But I do know what the original point of this board was: To offer a place for members to post and comment on images. Nowhere did we say only skilled and experienced artists were allowed to post. Many of you reading this can create stunning pieces of work, and I'm not trying to scare you away. But if you feel that the posting of "newbish" images makes this board less fun, I'm afraid you're going to have to live with that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another point was also made. Moderators may not be supposed to take sides in certain matters, but that has nothing to do with this post. Moderators are free to take sides in debates, otherwise we'd have a fairly dull job, wouldn't we? If you have a problem with a moderators decision, take that up in PM with an admin. In this case I sure don't see any mistakes being made. An opinion is just that, an opinion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, it's my hope that users of this board can learn to accept that others may not be as graphically skilled as the veterans of the board. I'm not asking you to give top ratings to really poor work or anything like that, it's simply a matter of respect. If there are any questions regarding this I ask that you take it up with me in PM, instead of posting it here. My one point is: Tip.it aims to be a community were everyone is welcome, not just the veterans.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm now going to lock this topic.
