These are the rules for all boards falling under the category of spriting, which include;
Submissions
Discussion
And Projects
1. Before you submit.
Before you even think about submitting, check this page and then really ask yourself if you think that your work will be accepted. If the answer is a most definite yes, throw your sheet(s) our way. If no, ask why, and correct the mistake. If unsure, then post in the sprite discussion board.
2. Don't just say it's bad.
If you plan on telling someone that their work isn't very good, tell them why. And remember to be a bit gentle about it. Be as brutally honest as you can by all means, but don't just say "that's terrible" and don't get personal with it. Tell them how to improve if you can, and if you can't at least say that you don't know how they can correct it.
3. Don't get angry or upset.
If you can't take the criticism, then you shouldn't be showing your work. It's as simple as that. Of course if someone has just said your work isn't that good you should be upset, maybe even angry, but just accept it, and if they were just flaming you with no real criticism, then report it to us and we'll take care of it.
4. Don't make requests.
It's simple as, you don't request for people to do work for you. You can ask for their help as long as you put some sort of effort in yourself. And don't expect somebody to help you. You'll never learn until you get your own hands in on the action.
