PLEASE READ! hello! i hope everyone has been enjoying the summer weather and have been using the free time to do some awesome t shirt surgeries! there are some rules and other things that i wanted to discuss, so that we can keep this a place a friendly one where we can share our creations and meet new people.
1st-, LJ-Cuts and Rude Commenters Most people have been doing well with using an lj-cut when appropriate, but once in a while sometimes someone forgets to use one, or the code doesn't work, or whatever... and then everyone flips out that a lj-cut hasn't been use and 5+ people leave comments about it and they are sooo rude!-THIS IS WHAT ANNOYS ME MOST! if someone needs to use a lj-cut, ONE person can just simply comment "please use a lj-cut." if someone already left a comment about it, then just leave it alone- they will eventually fix it when they get the message. if there are 2 or more comments on the entry about using an lj-cut, the commenters will get a strike. 3 strikes, you're out of here.
the following are rules of when you should use an lj-cut in this community. If you’re posting more than two pictures, please use the lj-cut tag If your picture is bigger than 550px X 550px, please use the lj-cut tag If you don't know what a lj-cut is, or how to use one, the following link will give you an explanation- How do I hide part of my entry behind a link? What is an lj-cut?
2nd- Stealing & Hotlinking We are all inspired by the work of so many people here, and there are so many different reasons of why we might want to share their work- (entries or photos) whether its sharing someone else's tutorial, or showing off someone else's shirt that you really like. but you have to be careful of how you go about doing so because you might be stealing and/or hotlinking. Hyperlinking is allowed, Hotlinking is NOT allowed.
If you wish to regard to another entry or to a website, instead of copying and pasting the entry to your own entry, just link to the original entry. this way you will not be stealing their work, and the creator can get credit for their work. If you don't know how to create a link, the following link will give you an explanation- How do I add a link to another journal or web site?
This goes for pictures as well. If you are going to post someone else's picture do NOT copy and paste the picture to your entry or website, this is hotlinking. Not only are you stealing the picture, but you are also stealing bandwidth from that person. If you going to use someone else's picture, first ask the owner for permission, second save the picture and upload the picture through your own image hosting account such as photobucket and/or flickr, and when posting the picture be sure to give credit to the creator. if you are caught stealing and/or hotlinking you will get a strike. 3 strikes, you're banned.
These rules, how to use an lj-cut, how to create a link, and hosting links can be found on t_shirt_surgery's profile page.
