Nothing inherently wrong with editing. I've loved the edits I've gotten in my own threads and they've been incredibly helpful. I don't like waht I've been seeing lately where people post edits and don't even explain themselves. I especially dont like some members here who need to work on their skills a lot more before they can start editing other peoples works.

It's a shame b/c his pictures are now gone, but my ideal post for an edit would be one Dhaos gave me in my Harvest Moon thread. He posted good edits that were very informing and followed up with an excellent brief on pixel grass. I learned a ton from him that I wouldn't ahve gotten from a purely written post or a purely edit post.

I'm from an edit community for a fighting game engine called MUGEN.
I think it's ok if you aren't making money of it, since even the companies consider it as "fan-art".

I tend to edit works for my own enjoyment... to see what I could do with it. I like to think I learn alot when doing it. Of course, all that gets deleted after I'm done. I get more personal pride completing something from scratch

Even if not deleted, never posted online. I am glad at the strong and direct sentiment Pixelation users seem to support as I can tell from the results of this poll.
