A few months ago some players were denied modifications to their gst hat, even if it was a simple recolor (from what I heard, it was only a recolor).

Since then, a new rule has been set that players are not allowed to modify their gst hats in any way. Before you answer this question, I'd like to list a few rules, that would probably enable you and your team to modify your hat. These regulations will be stated, so that players can know what they are allowed to do, and what they should refrain from doing.

1. If you know who the staff member that made the gst hat you own is, then you can ask them to edit it. If they decline, then you can do it yourself.

2. If the creator of the hat accepts, then you must wait at least a full week to let them: Edit, and upload.

3. Do not keep asking the creator of the hat, "Have you started yet?", "When will it be done?", or "Have you uploaded yet?" If the week has passed, then the staff doesn't have time to edit the hat, and leaves it for you to do the edit. (Follow the rules/guidelines below)

4. You cannot submit a different hat, or remove any parts of the hat.

5. If you are recoloring the hat, be sure to recolor the hat with same values for the shade, but a different color. If you do not do this correctly, then the edit can be denied.

6. Make sure that there are no transparency issues with your hat.

7. Your first edit submitted is also your final submission. After that, you are not allowed to resubmit, or say "Wait, I change my mind."

8. Once you submit, please allow up 2 weeks for your edited hat to be uploaded. Once uploaded, the hat takes time to change, so be patient.

So to recap

What you are allowed to do:

Recolor the hat, using the same exact shading.
Make lenses for glasses/shades, or visors for helmets transparent (Not fully)
If the hat is not centered, or too low/too high, you can align it how you please (The hat can't be all the way above your head, nor should it be too low)
Make eyes blink, if your hat has eyes *Staff required*
Add GST logo on the back *Staff required*

What you are not allowed to do:

Add your guild logo (This is because, staff doesn't know if your logo is taken from somewhere else, so this one is just for safety)
You aren't allowed to add or remove parts. (Unless Staff is the one that's editing)
You can't submit a different hat.
You can't bother staff, be patient.
You can't resubmit, or change your mind. First edit is final. (Unless you had transparency issues)

One last thing. Respect the people who made the hat. Don't abuse their kindness, and if you do edit, don't blow it in their faces saying things like, "So much better now."

If the staff does edit, the least you can do is say "Thank you."

So, should edits for gst hats be allowed?

What other rules do you think should be added regarding edits? If you have any thoughts on that.

I personally feel like if these sort of rules were set, staff might allow edits.
