Conclusion of my opinion of this case: being anti-rippers doesn't allow you to break rule #1, even if you're a moderator or just very very serious about pixel art. Besides, a real bootcamp wouldn't have had that rule.

Helm wasn't being an ass. He was being curt. If you can't tell the difference between that, then I don't know what to tell you. You're fighting for a forum type Lick that is not what Pixelopolis is, or what Pixelation was. Accept this forum for what it is and either exist here or move on. The forum works, it builds skill and ushers many people (like myself) into professional pixel art jobs. It does that at an expense of fluff and constant praise. That's what this place is.

And besides, how many of you would prefer this Helm?

Quote from: Helm
Umm, well, sweetie, wow, are you sure it took you four hours? It's still maybe a little bit messy for that long of a time. I think I'm seeing some stray pixels, and maybe a little weird noise dither. Both of those together sometimes make me think I'm seeing posterizing. I'm sure you aren't color reducing or anything, but I just though I would mention it, lol. Nice work!

I'm fighting for respect among the forum members (higher ranked/new or not, serious/fun or not). I believe this does not disfunction any of the forums characteristics.

@ Pawige: I would. The response you typed (of course minus the exagerated parts) is pretty much what was needed to avoid this whole topic! Knowing how Helm normally responds, I would un-nice it a little bit, but still, it's going in the good direction to me.

Well you're certainly in the minority. And as has been posted, there are plenty of other forums with the nicities you wish existed here.

This topic may be closed. I fear a flame war may start.

I'll give it a day more or two more, if anyone has anything to add. I don't think there's a temperature problem in here.

Wow - 46 posts on one topic about not much at all.  Get over it, you ripped, you got flamed, deal with it, move on.

@lick - u seem to be taking this a bit far.

What is your definition of ripping? Just curious. I might even agree that I did rip, depending on your definition. Please state your definition. :)

Well either you color reduced the image, or badly traced over it.  If you didnt create the original piece - then its ripped in my book.
