Do you mind if a print has been pulled from the internet or copy and pasted?

Author Topic: I'm sick of print/decal flamers.  (Read 1140 times)

I'm sick of people flaming people's prints (including mine) just because they are just pictures re-sized to print size. There's nothing wrong with this! My Portal prints got flamed just because everyone seems to assume that you need to spend 4 weeks drawing it yourself. What if that exact thing is needed in a build?

Stuff like this that takes absolutely no effort makes me mad because people like me, The Wom, Kaje, and all the other good decal makers put a lot of effort into our decals.  And crap like this just spams up the decal forums.  I bet you that 50% of the decal section is copy and paste, fail first attempts, and decals that people post "for teh lulz"

Fail, all you did was copy the image and to be honest, the image you used has to be one of the worst images you could find.   It just looks like you took a screenshot in-game and pasted them onto a decal.

Think about things before you post like that, everyone knows i make decals way better than this and hardly ever if at all copy and paste from images.

This is the crap I'm talking about. Did you notice this part?

Nobody cares! Why does every single thing need to be the greatest thing ever made?! As long as the print or decal works and isn't a piece of crap, who gives a stuff if it was copied and pasted?!

We DO care if stuff sucks.

Why? Because even if its a game where anyone can add anything, we don't want stuff in it. That's precisely why every single human being that is a member of this community takes time to smack someones ass as discipline so that they don't do stupid stuff like port terrible maps or add-ons or create MS Paint decals.


Seriously, we hate the stuff that's clogging everything up.

I care if it sucks, too, but what about GOOD copy and paste prints? There's nothing wrong with those.

The consequences of copy and paste decals can be far more severe than you might imagine.

I haven't looked at the decals forum in months, nor have I downloaded anything for there either simply because all the prior times I visited there, all I found was a bunch of copy/paste crap.

If I really wanted that lolcat picture, or Vegita or whoever else, I would make the decal myself.

You know, I sort of agree with you there.

Crap content comes around in all customisable games. As for decals, I dont mind much since if I dont download, they wont appear. Crap GUNS however Is different.

There is no need to complain about stuffty decals. You don't have to download them, and you will never see them in game.

We are the consumer.

If your crap sucks, deal with it.

I realize that some stuff sucks. That is not my point! I'm saying if a print or decal is good, and it was copied and pasted or pulled from the internet, is it okay? Because I don't see a problem with it if it doesn't suck.

Originality beats copy/paste any day of the week.


Also people with no talent shouldn't be making add-ons then.
