this discussion comes up alot , nothing we can do about it except get the word out   that you can get the covers free here  i tell all my friends and get them to share too.  its no use gettin worked up over it  , better to spend that energy elsewhere

The discussion should be about passing off a cover, one didn't make, as their own or taking credit for a cover someone else made; not about selling covers..

That's the problem, if they mention were they got them then they wouldn't sell any, because everybody will come here to download and print them and is cheaper to buy a box of UGC or CGC, than pay them for The box and print of each game.

No body will mention TCP if they are selling the box with covers
I think you forgot about somebody

;)

 :P I think he ask permission here or he and shenske talk about it, as he was the one who made all CGC covers

Shadowfox actually produces the cases and is the cheapest option out there.

Also, I am sure you noticed that the list of NES covers I made include quite a few BRAND NEW covers that have never been seen/shared before. Most all of these were from Shadowfox purchasing boxes for me to scan and make. He was an immense help during this process ... so in short, I'm cool with it.  :P

Yeah, I see it often on the "other" sites. I remember seeing one guy years ago trying to pass off the SNES Vertical template I made as his own. He got lots of praise until someone called him out on it, lol.

This has always happened and will always happen. It is what it is

It is what it is.
 :P
only thing i've seen on the subject that makes any goddamn sense, as it's the truth.
so it leaves us with with one of two options:
1, carry on and chalk it up to ??? and lets face it, it's about the shares. if you want credit, then you're in the WRONG game, pun VERY much intended.
2, OR, closely guard your shit.
 i'll keep this simple.
i was invited a a known private tracker, and tbh, it just DOESN'T meet my standard of writeups, dl archive styles (don definitions/generic) and general path of QA, i'll ONLy upload game like packages i KEEP as my own archives, and my username is EMBEDDED in the hashtags of the created archive.
keep in mind, i refer to home dumps from my own disks, the very same covers placed on these boards.
simply put, the rules stated i had to commit to a trumpable system of shares where the rules stated a home dump by a CREATED ARCHIVE (user created) had to be as generic as gvt tabs, all the same.
as that was the case, it meant i couldn't personally hallmark the uploads intended, effectively making the share done by anybody who doesn't know what the FUCK they are doing, or put care into it.
i refused to cinced to dumping my own disks and sharing them simply because any twat can rip a blank dump (DOES have to be ??? standard verify type) supply it and trump the hard effort.
in short, who can say if the uploader even tested that dump that trumped my EFFORT ridden share?
if anybody can rip roms off the webs and supply them, makes home efforts moot and a fuckin SHEER waste of time and precious BW, especially as the shares I HAVE TO ...share DON'T measure up to snuff...aka: waste of harddisk space.
i keep a separate hallmarked result for archives.
as they won't allow me to hallmark my shares, give a complete writeup on usage/director list for the user's benefit.
so i won't share.
simples, they lose, and i won't put my name (amiga1200) to anything less the PURE QA on my side, as well as a type of control over the share, by hallmarking it via it's interior hashtag.
i''ve showed my game collection to them, only for the silence to be met, and in a certain context, it DOESN'T fuckin fly with me, when it on my tab.
so i sucked it up, obeyed the rules without question at the same time as defining MY terms of wasting bw and hdd space, just not happening.
i won't put my name to fucking kittykat.  >:(

oh, you fuck me over, please observe my resolve as illustrated below: (not my work)

 ::) if it works, it was a long winded explanation of my position if i'm to put out.
on that, hypocrite, plain as.
if you can't see how one sided this subject appears, then you deserve getting you shit pilfered.
it's only one POV, but TCP put out, make sharing raws easier for one.
...
clearly you don't give a flying FUCK about your works, CRYING about 'kudos'...
stump up, tangible for tangible.
hardly altruistic is this subject...
not that i can talk, but again, positions defined clearly in advance, i just have ultimate control over the initial share.
fuck the kudos, doesn't put food in my guts, as it were.
working site improvements, actual usable TANGIBLE features DO!  :P

No matter what you are going to do with the cover (sell it on eBay, post it in another site) is better to mention that it was taken from TCP, not to pass it as his own. As for the recognition of the cover for a persone (mention the name of the creator) doesn't bother me, I prefer that TCP gets the recognition as this is a community and we all make this for free, to help others to complete their collection or for us and hosted here in case someone else need it.

Is just letting others know from were you took that cover, not letting them pass as your own. As shenske and I explained, Shadowfox talk to shenske to make the covers for his cases, also he contribute with the cause to make posible to have all covers done, in his page he doesn't mention shenske,  he mention TCP, and that's good because we area a community and we all are TCP, we are not here to get individual recognition.

Took Shadowfox example as he was mention before, I know this topic is for those people that try to pass our covers as theirs in other forum

The cover project doesn't have staff. It isn't a business. I just has users that contribute their time. I honestly have no clue what you're talking about? Nuking your legitimately Backed up response? What does that mean? You're on the clock? Watch your tread? Are you threatening people?

Looks like all your responses are still there. At least all the ones I had bother to read before.

Watch where you tread?  Really - going with the threats AGAIN?

Any other site would have removed your account by now - your paranoid (assumed drug induced, based on your constant admissions to getting baked) ramblings and random outbursts are often almost unintelligible and have become beyond tiresome.

If you don't like it here do us all a favor and close the door on the way out.  And just to be clear, before I get accused of something, this is not victimization, this is not a threat, this is just me tired of your rants and threats.

Stay and play nice (as I've said on numerous occasions) or piss off.

if you like, it means a i take my ball and give you ALL the finger....is what it means.
i take scans and pack with my games before i do anything, the fact i add some extra time to uploading  ? ? ? shows how fuking DULL i am for the repeat path of NO results. (stupidity defined if ever)
i'm calling you (TCP in general) out on you self-interested, two-faced capitalistic glory-grabbing bullshit, when you make NO recourse for GENUINE suppliers with HTTP issues, THE SAME AS THE BITCHING AT OTHERS FOR EFFORT IN MY BOOKS!
that's what i meant, and since you kept the writ of what you fuckin NUKED, please refer to it at your leisure if in ANY dobt whatsoever of my conclusions here.... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

somebody did!
you wannna know?
the ability to upload RAWs without HTTP bullshit,  dedicated coverproject FTP server, so in terms of what you do here, it's PERM and certain for good-guys willing to put out.
just that now, somewhere to send a copy of the results is all...
if you don't see that is ALL the same here, we are through. :(

But as I've told you time and time again - we 'admins' have no control over the back end of the site.  You want to duke it out with someone - message snowcone.  The site owner.  

You think we don't want site improvements?

How can I make you understand?  We don't do it to fucking victimize you.  It's not meant to make YOU annoyed.  It's just how it is.

I tell you what - you go and set up a site, with a back end that works the way you want it to, and we'll come and play over there. Either way - please stop with the fucking whining! WE CANT INFLUENCE THE BACK END OF THE SITE!

then i ask, what precisely is your capacity here if if all you do is edit covers and ban folks?
the fact staffs can staff places without a MEGA intimate knowledge of the site codebase room for disaster.
okay, i put it to like this, why are you wasting time here if you're not in control, or more importantly, HAVE THE SYSOPS ARE ON A DIRECT LINE just incase of user to site related issues.
...
if i ever get a place, nobody runs it unless they know mc68kcore and asm BACKWARDS, meaning i was sure they knew what they was doing, and the users were safe on all counts... ;D
