Seeking Volunteers and Opinions
I'm in need of a few more volunteers to help make banners for this community:
First off I need to find some members willing to tackle the older banner sets, as I have yet to hear from the originally assigned bannermakers. Don't wish to put it off any longer since I understand their schedule is probably too tight at the moment. If anyone out there is interested in assisting me, please leave a comment here claiming a set. Just make sure you actually have the time to get them done fairly quickly and that you are familiar enough with the graphic programs to make quality banners. Thanks in advance, here is the current list:
Week 109: Manga Scans
Week 110: Stress
Week 112: Lyrics (Solitude Sometimes Is)
Week 113: Risk
I'll also be needing to find more permanent bannermakers to add to the rotation, seeing as right now we're pretty short on staff and I've been taking on most of the banners myself... which is clearly not very efficient. If you wish to volunteer to be a bannermaker for this community then simply leave a comment here with some samples of your work; all comments are automatically screened. Experience isn't a huge issue though, I just want a general idea of what you can do. Please only sign-up if you have the time to dedicate to the job. Again, thanks in advance.
Also I'd appreciate it if you could share your opinions regarding the following:
An issue has come up a few times of late and so I'd like to ask members for their input. The question being: should we allow Code Geass icons in this icontest? The series features character designs by CLAMP, however the actual storyline was not developed by them nor is the series produced by them. Technically it is not a CLAMP series, but they did originally play a part in its creation so as such it's a bit of a gray area, leaving me unsure how you all feel on the matter.
In the past I did accept such an icon but then another member raised some concern regarding this in the voting post and now a different member is asking if in general the series is allowed as they wish to to use it in their own submission. I figure since the topic keeps coming up, it is best to discuss the matter here and consider your input before making a final decision and putting any official rule into effect next week. NOTE: In the meantime I've decided to allow said icon as I did previously, since there is no actual rule against it at the moment and that only seems fair.
So kindly fill out this poll to let me know your opinion and please feel free to leave additional comments in this post if you wish to elaborate further. The individual poll results are anonymous so no one but myself will know who voted for what. Additionally, all comments are automatically screened but tell me if you want something unscreened for discussion purposes. Thanks in advance for sharing your views.
