@Lunchbox7985 It's hard to advertise that the site has standards. We can only hope that new comers will read up on our policies. With that said, we get thousands and thousands of submissions every year and it's a lot of work filtering through it all. We get a lot of crap from new comers that never explore the site, forums or our policies before hand. In many cases, it feels like the Movie "Groundhog Day". |

--- Quote from: Lunchbox7985 on August 05, 2016, 09:01:02 AM --- perhaps if the person whose job is to do so, actually put that cover in the proper place in the site, I wouldn't have wasted that time last night making that sorry excuse for a cover. ill think twice about trying to contribute to your oh so prestigious site in the future. --- End quote --- It isn't anyone's job. This is a hobby site. A job would indicate that we actually get paid for our time here. Also - it's pretty clear you haven't read any of the sites guides/stickies or searched for info about quality, image hosting, how to upload, etc, etc. So it's no wonder we get frustrated. (ie: never use photobucket as a host, as it downsamples your image horribly - to demonstrate - I downloaded your cover from there, and pasted it back into a correctly sized template - see how tiny it's become) As an aside, arseen was trying to be funny. Or at least gentle with you. More a push towards upping your game, not a push towards don't bother. As segamer says, we get way too many under par covers submitted to the site, it's impossible to say wow that's great to all of them - and I'm sure you'd rather get some feedback, even if it's negative. As a rule, if the source image is less than 300dpi to begin with, and you have to enlarge it to fit in a UGC, it's extremely unlikely it will ever be of sufficient quality to meet the sites current standards. That being said - it IS possible to work with sub standard images, clean them up, rebuild portions, replace logos, retype texts, use vector logos, etc, etc, to make a cover that would at least look decent printed. However, unfortunately it doesn't look like yours has had enough done to it to make that the case. We've all been there when we eagerly start out with photoshop - and we get something we think looks great, and want to share with the community. In reality, unless you started with a great scan, or an in depth knowledge of Photoshop, the result is likely to be something that others will pull apart. You've only got to look at some of the shit posted by some of our artists here when they started out - I've got a load of covers hosted here that are an absolute embarrassment - but I submitted them before we upped the quality standards. In essence - keep at it. Take the feedback, however brutal, and keep sharing. PS - please remember that English is not the first language for many of our members/admins, so what you may think of as rude is PROBABLY more to do with your interpretation rather than them blowing up at you. We're MOSTLY a friendly bunch here. Even Arseen! ;D |

I appologise my rudeness. Feel free to share covers on the boards using Mediafire or Box. Please DO NOT upload to the site directly, as sub-par covers will be trashed immeadly and no word of it will be ever heard. Again: I appologise my rudeness. Peace ;) |

For what it's worth, I didn't take it as rude at all. I could definitely tell you were joking, but at the same time trying to get your point across. But I've been around long enough to know how you write, while a new member may not take it that way. |
