Requiring folks to "contribute" is still just dumb to me. This place isn't very discussion oriented, so requiring people to participate via posting isn't going to do much aside from encourage fluffy spam posts that don't really contribute anyhow. Requiring people to submit scans or a custom before being allowed to download would be a poor idea too. Not everybody has a scanner, not everybody is skilled in graphics, and not everybody even has a computer powerful enough to handle those image editing tools to begin with. I don't make my covers just for other folks who make covers, I make them for anybody who would need them. I don't want to turn TCP into some kind of elitist "secret club" just because a few guys decide to profit off of our work. If you guys want to do anything, right now there's absolutely nothing on the main site that indicates that these covers aren't meant to be sold. Should we really expect all of our visitors to simply know that we don't want them selling these things? Why not simply put a disclaimer in a few visible spots that these are all provided for free and aren't meant to be sold any way? |

If anything, it'll turn countless people away from the site and present our community as stuck up and elitist. --- End quote --- Why would we want people on our site that do nothing but leech? By the way! We are elitist we are freemason! ;) |

Some people might not have the capability or desire to help. I just want to help people get replacement covers, even if that means some people get money off my work. |
| PDDestro:
Tell me, is there any plan in place for if and when the Cover Project is sent a Cease & Desist to take down X,Y,& Z's companies' covers, or worse? This is why I said: --- Quote from: Victor Von Doom on July 24, 2010, 05:40:57 PM ---In fact this may become a necessity as time passes and security of the site warrants due to understood reasons. --- End quote --- Keeping things wide open has its pros as well as cons. Some/all of you may think it highly improbable, but eventually it may well happen, and it would really suck if TCP is shutdown because we didn't want to be 'elitist'. Food for thought is all... |
