These rules may be updated accordingly.
Graphics Reverie RulesThese rules may be updated accordingly.
- Nudity is not allowed. If you are unsure about your graphic piece, please contact one the Spira Moderators. This counts in all sections.
- Constructive Criticism. "This sucks" isn't constructive for example. Warnings will be given. This counts for all sections.
- Graphic works for posted to receive feedback should be kept in one thread per member. If you want to make a new thread, contact the Spira Moderators.
- Do not post work and claim it as your own when it's not. This will result in to warnings and possibly infractions. This counts for all sections.
- Plagiarism - plagiarism is unacceptable and will not be tolerated in any sections of Spira. If you suspect that someone is plagiarizing or someone has stolen your work, follow the following steps.
1. PM the Spira Moderator with a link to your plagiarized work. While many of you feel the need to start a thread on it, in most cases, it's not a good idea if you get the whole forum involved. Let the moderators handle this.
2. Provide proof that the work is yours. A PSD file would be the best thing you can provide.This is solid proof that the signature is indeed yours, making things much easier in the long run. If you no longer have the PSD file, you're going to have to provide another form of proof. The moderators will do their best to sort the situation out as soon as possible.
3. If you must say something to the plagiarizer, do it by PM. Keep it off the forums. It helps prevent drama, flaming, warnings and possibly infractions.
- Piracy Policy - Software piracy is strictly prohibited on the Final Fantasy Forums. This means that you are not allowed to request any copyrighted material (software included), let alone distribute them.
Any threads requesting this kind of material will be closed without noticed, links for downloading will be removed, and the members contributing, including the creator will be warned/infracted accordingly.
The Gallery Rules
- No posting in a Gallery unless it's your own. Galleries are display only.
- One Gallery per member only. New posts for different themes/types of graphics? Set it up however you please.
- Displaying other people's work in your Gallery is allowed. Please make sure you have their permission and link back to the original artist.
Request Rules
- You must have 50 or more posts before you can make a request in the Signature Shops (depending on the artist's preferences.)
- Spamming your way up to 50 posts is not allowed, the moderators will keep a close eye on this.
- Credit the designer. Respect their wishes if they do not wish for their work to be displayed on other sites.
- Give the GFX artist some time, don't ask how long it's going to take on a daily basis.
- Make your own request thread, don't use someone else's to request your own graphic art. (This goes for single request threads, not the shops).
- Be aware of the specific rules GFX artists might have in their shops.
- Graphic requests can be turned down. Be aware that no one 'has' to make the requester anything.
- Graphic sizes - our forum allows signatures up to 600 by 400 px max. You can wear a bigger image but the scroll bar will show up to narrow down your signature space. Avatar sizes can vary up until 150x150 pixels.
If you have any questions please PM the Spira Moderator.
