I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm wary of copyright issues, but some of my coworkers aren't, and that has led to lawsuits.

Also, the original upload "belongs" to Graal. As in they have the right to use it. However, they don't necessarily have the right to use derivative works unless they had specified that earlier.

so at one point it was the same tileset and once he made it a business he just re-arranged certain pixels and called it his own.

So you are telling me, theoretically, that a signature in a forum, or perhaps when people create spongebob or mario on the call of duty emblems, that they are putting the game/forum owners at risk to be sued because some player created a graphic that resembled their stuff?

The whole "Graal receives all rights after uploading heads" could be the culprit right? If so, that is a stupid term of agreement and should be erased. There is no reason for me to give up all rights to a head when uploading to Graal. Graal really does not have much to gain from this. Are they planning on stealing all of our graphics one day to create a whole new game that the entire graal community pixel art'd for them

I get customs denied for reason that doesn't make any sense to me xD
But the thing is that the reasons are:
1)Wrong sizes which aren't actually wrong
2)No head used as body, which aren't since the head is uploaded by the head section of the upload site.
3)Do not submit again. But why? They aren't copyright or anything like that. And pure black and white aren't used any where else than on my body since the transparent doesn't work. And for the body I just put the transparency of the site.

I really dont understand what would make anyone think that staff just refuse uploads for random reasons for fun? It takes more time than approving it and ends up with the person submitting the graphic again because they are to dumb to realize that there is actually something wrong with it. 99% of the time you are wrong and it actually is messed up in game.

Sorry simmons but lots of times existing uploads are deleted and it really is not a just reason (maybe it VAGUELY looked like a copyright character- to the extent where it is fine, or they saw like one floating pixel and they deemed it as unacceptable (in that case, maybe they should go fix all the floating pixels that exist in the game currently with mounts and morphs before they go deleting players heads). Sometimes, they are looking at the head in a biased way. I had a head deleted one time because it looked like a sex toy. That is so vague of a reason that it is actually hilarious.

Maybe if I had ever seen one of these uploads that got deleted for a biased reason I would agree (or maybe not..). But whenever I see someone complain about their uploads being removed, I have never seen them post said custom, and seeing as how much players really don't understand the upload rules I'd say that they are probably wrong, and their upload should've been deleted. Also I dont see why GPs should ignore player heads with floating pixels while they wait for the Graphics team to fix content with floating pixels. Its two totally different departments for those jobs.

The point was a few floating pixels should not be a reason to delete someones head and make them lose half of the gralats they paid to upload it (that is what happened to me, at least) until they can get their own pixel problems sorted out (which isn't a problem in the first place). Many of the staff that are here trying to enforce a bunch of rules do not realize that all they do is nazi up the server. There is a point where they are just expecting too much out of players. We should encourage players to create their own graphics instead of stealing pre-exisitng graphics off of graal depot because they are tired of having their own graphics deleted by admins.

The one thing I can agree with this is that they shouldn't lose half their gralats for that.

Well then tell me, why is a skunk head refused?
Or a zebra head?
No copyrights involved, no pure white/black color, no hats.
Now tell me what's wrong with it.
I've checked and I don't see why they get refused and then 1 hour later when it's another admin, it gets accepted.
Isn't that a proof that some admins actually refuse customs heads/bodies for no reason?

One of my head(Moose head), once was refused because it looked like bambi...
I can't tell you for how long I've been laughing.

For those of you wondering, here is a list of reasons why we disapprove uploads:

1. Transparency Problems: There is a visible background
2. Transparency problems: Make sure to not use solid black(#000000) or white)
3. Inappropriate content
4. Copyright Infringement. Do not resubmit
5. Incorrect size/dimensions
6. No images acting as hats or full-face masks
7. No bodies as shields
8. Do not resubmit this image
9. Submitted multiple times
10. Too big
11. No rapidly flashing animations or changing colors
12. The frames are in the wrong positions
13. Bodies must have two working legs

14. It's a ****ing doll body again.

Oh I see now.

No working arms when it walks it doesn't move its arms.
and dolly body/

you forgot:
14. up-loader is a clueless ****** (this is the case 80% of the time)



you fail to see peoples point. people just want the real reason why their stuff got denied/refunded when it doesnt break any of the "reasons" posted above. Thats not too much to ask.
