I know photos of stolen art wouldn't be, and the same would apply to photos of a racing game that @Tyrin was asking about, but in my case I took a picture of a box of cards that I saw at the store. I didn't design the cover, so would uploading it also be against the rules? Or can I simply mention where I found it?

That would be a no. Photography as an art is a thing, but 'hey check out this thing i bought/saw at a store/etc' honestly doesn't count.

Thanks!

I want his name. He wanted to change it to "Pokémon Rival Silver", if I'm sure...Help?! XD no really, I'm serious!

The rules are One Account Per Person, so it's perfectly fine that you have one account each - I figured it was a case of siblings rather than sockpuppets.

Anyway I approved his name change, so you can do yours whenever you feel like it. ^^

Until the end of November, at least.

Gotcha. Cheers!

As I said in the thread, people should read the rules as a prerequisite for actually RPing, rather than rely on second-hand reports from other people. So really, you haven't so much caused an issue there. Either way, clarification was provided and all is well.

Like if a Pokecharms user like me just chooses a Pokemon for them and then the user's character says or thinks about it, not like it's their choice.

Essentially. We don't have any rules against breaking the fourth wall - but it rather depends on how it's done and how frequently it's done. Exercise discretion.

Alright, thank you!

Nope. Unless the screenshot features something that you created on your own, outside the game's available tools - i.e. mods you've made with assets that you created yourself rather than downloaded somewhere, you can't claim credit for it or upload it to the Corner.

Understood.

If it's art that you created yourself, you can post it here too, regardless of whether or not you posted it on other websites (under your own account of course) - A lot of the art I have posted here is also posted elsewhere.

I appreciate it.

Apologies if I got a bit snippy - as numerous people I know make their living via art, the subject of misappropriation and art theft is kind of a particular point that makes my armblades twitch. It does appear that our rules could stand a bit of clarification and/or elaboration if people continue asking about this particular point, however.

No worries! I was asking mostly about public Google images that can't be traced to their source and are kind of just floating out there. Or, pictures of products that the Home Depot uploads to its site, for example, and whether either of these can be altered in any way. Not necessarily art that people draw (leaving these here for future clarification).

Oh yes, that thing. I meant to temporarily lock it while dealing with a particular user's continuous grammar fails, realized the situation didn't actually warrant removing posts and... utterly forgot to unlock the thread because it was the middle of the zarking night. Thread unlocked now.

Ok, thanks

You actually put it in General Role Play rather than General Role Play Discussion, which makes it TWICE the wrong place to post it! But thanks for bringing this to my attention - thread moved. ^^

Thanks.

Oh. Okay. Contact me later if you any further info is given.

In any case you currently have two warning points that are set to expire on November 5th - and provided you don't break any other rules and receive any other warnings, you don't have much to worry about.

Okay.

Oi, the original Outcasts was decent if you have a week to kill

At least, I think it was decent
In terms of Pokemon RPs, no idea

Cool, thanks!

Also, y'know, there's CoDA
Just a bit of self-promotion there

That's actually not something we can do! Life happens. Sometimes a person may create a character when they had the time or focus to, and then by the time the thread starts, they are no longer in the same place they were when they created the character. Sometimes, people just forget, too - especially with all the blasted children who drift off from one RP to another when a new shiny thing comes along.

In which case, it falls to you as the thread starter to prod the person whom you're waiting for and check if they're still interested. Remind them to post. Believe me when I say that even for veteran RPers, sometimes keeping everyone on track is like herding cats.

Oh ok, thanks for responding and for the tip.

Child. Some of us have been RPing before you were even born. The fact you presume to know better than us how to RP is honestly laughable. Either way, you are entitled to have an opinion on our rules, so long as you follow them. Fail to follow them, and you will be handled like any other rule-breaker.

here's a link to her page if you don't believe me
https://toyhou.se/2195954.bliss (Bliss on Toyhouse)

You should have pointed that out with the posted image, complete with the link to the original artist etc. - that does indeed constitute verification the image was made for you, but without you saying so, there's no way for anyone to know that. That does clarify things ^^

You still posted in present tense, though! Make sure you read and follow the rules from now on and there'd be no further issues.

thnx for understanding! and I'll make sure to reread the rules

I'm not Stellar, but I assume a Pirate site are the ones where one eyed scallywags with hooks hang out and talk about plundering booty.

In seriousness, I assume that means a site which endorses emulators, files for videogames, APKs, and so on. Getting things for free when you usually have to pay money for them.

All of the above plus illegal unlicensed streaming sites. Aside from the fact that we cannot legally condone the sharing of such content, many of these sites are pretty dodgy. >>

Ahhh, ic ic. I'd mentioned a simulcasting site so I was wondering how it fit into Pirating despite not actually providing anything ^~^

A good rule of thumb to remember about forums is that - unlike chat rooms, which are instantaneous and very much based on rapid reactions - they're more akin to bulletin boards, where messages are posted to be seen and replied to by whomever sees them rather than whoever you're talking to at a moment.

Another thing to remember anything posted on a forum thread needs to have some kind of discussion value. A one-word post kinda... doesn't.

Reading this post, I realize that I have made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement.

Well, possibly along the lines of spam, atleast. I'll be more careful with my posts on discussion boards in the future concerning these rule sets.

So the question is, would each person have to post the page they made on their profile, or is it possible for the author of the comic to post every page of the comic on their profile?

Collaborations are fair game - but it is preferable that whoever is doing the actual art is the one that posts it (makes it possible to link individual chapters as parts of a series), with writers and collaborators given linked credit in the image descriptions. ^^

Alright, thank you.

It's not so much of a cover as it's just the background image the website uses. At present we have no option for cover images or - to my knowledge - any plans to actually have them.

At least there is an option for changing the background. Thank you for the answer .

That is basically why I haven't changed it in years. XD Somehow, it still amuses the frell out of me, too.

Google takes pictures from various webplaces and sites, so unless its a free to use one or your using it as a profile pic, without the permission of the creator you cannot use it the same goes for Bing, I may have gotten some part wrong there but that should at least answer your question

alright thanks, was just wondering cause i know some sites have some kind of code attached to the picture, even if you find it on google or bing, you won't be able to download or save the pic to your pc, no matter what you try.

Our creative corner rules make an exception for using and editing official Pokemon art, so those are fine. ^^

I sent you a PM about this. Better than to air out the dirty laundry, so to speak, in a string of profile posts.
