How do you guys feel about people using real-life photographs as faceclaims or other appearance imagery? I personally think it's kinda off-putting and don't really like it. What're your thoughts about it? Especially considering sometimes people using real-life photographs for 18+ RP's? Could the guild get into trouble for something like that?

@Valor

I generally don't care too much. As long as the images comply with our PG-13 rating, then no harm, no foul. Now, that said, we have had instances with people using illustrations/paintings/photographs apparently without specific permission(s) and the artists have come and asked us to remove the images, which we happily do. We always encourage people to try and vet all their sources for things, but we have to rely on the community (or the artists themselves) to police this for us as there's no real way for us to search everything that's posted on the forum.

But reaction gifs...?



They can be fun. Sue me.

Nothing wrong with one line shit posts, but I'd agree: this hobby is the most fun when you're interacting with new people that can maybe become old people, when it's more a collaborative effort than a competitive one. When you find someone that blows you away in the best possible way. Thanks for the question.

@Ruby

I have this kind of philosophy when it comes to art. Finding people who push you to be better (even if unintentionally) are awesome. Anything that causes you to improve yourself in a measurable way is hard to argue with.

As you can see, I never (really) left. My road to moderator/co-admin is indeed another story entirely, but it's a fun one because I used to be one of the biggest troublemakers around. Just ask @stark. I'll write it all down if people are interested.

@Father Hank

Ha. I could definitely tell some stories, I'm sure. But my favorite ones involve you, group Skype calls, and copious amounts of alcohol. Hiccup.

--------------------------------------------------

Anyway, since the others went, I suppose I will too.

My origin story isn't anything terribly interesting. Many, MANY moons ago I was itching for some Sherlock Holmes RP. (More specifically, London in 1888, during the time of the Jack the Ripper murders.) So, I googled RP sites and the Guild popped up in the results. After poking around a bit and liking what I was seeing of the community, I signed up and ran my first RP: Shadows of London - A Dark Victorian Story. It went on for several months, but then died over time as users disappeared and went inactive. (Sigh.)

Around the time of starting that RP, I began frequenting the old Spam forum. Long story short - I made a bunch of friends there. (Some due to my thoughtful responses, some due to my sarcastic/snarky sense of humor, and some who were fellow artists that I could shoot the breeze with.) I became decently popular and earned a fairly good reputation for being someone who was helpful, which is why I was eventually chosen to join the moderation team by Contra Fates. (There's a blast from the past.)

Aaaaaand I've been here ever since , plus one name change.

I'm gonna sign off this thread for a little while. Feel free to leave questions; I'll get to them if/when I return, and of course other site staff may very well answer too.

@Ruby

I'll take over for a bit.

People can feel free to ask me anything. (Non-RPG stuff is fair game -- I'm an open book, but don't break any existing site rules.)
