alienating members ? They are grown man, fucking hell.
If your reasoning from BOOM's sig is that, I'm okay with it. But if I try to do the same, it's not ? I'm repeating myself, but the amount of "content" I added to those sig are exactly the same. And the final result is comparable to MANY other sig posted here. Why would my past work play against me if we deemed those sig to be okay ? Why could a result (that could result in 45 minutes of work for a newbie, I get it) couldn't be done and accepted for me ? If I put 15 minutes to recreate a sig that took 45 minutes for someone else, why I'm being punished for being efficient ? Those 15 minutes are a results in the TREMENDOUS amount of hours I put into photoshop, and the motivation i got with it. So why the double standard here ?
STealing someone else's work is something, and I totally understand if those sig were judge "unclaimable". But what happen to other sig that went through the same process. ? What is evaluated as "enough modification" ?
If I take a render, I put a random stock and a random font, without a thought process , and apply a shit ton of topaz, why it isn't okay for me to do, but it's okay for someone else ? The message is the same. If yoy want to give auto 6 because the graders were slow to grade, I get it. Just change the current system and make the auto 6 applicable until a grade is in, and then tpe could be diminish from it. The auto 6 is just putting an infinite tolerance on work that used to be evaluated for effort AND quality.
