ALL ARTISTS MUST USE THE PROVIDED CODE FOR REQUESTING.

It's there for a reason, so that people can't say they didn't know they had to sign the pledge and so that you don't have to slog through the list to find their name. We're making sure no one can claim they didn't know the rules, so please follow ours. We know it seems a tad strange. You can add to this code, but you can't take away from it. It's also to make sure that people know that the person may be from a different school to prevent us from getting pms about "so and so stole my face or is using my face without my permission" and also so that people don't try to request without the right number of posts. We've listed the post requirements for each school in the section (trust me, I wrote the code, I tried to think of the things I'd seen when people had requested from me that I'd had to go double check if I was sure I'd seen someone with that face etc.)

I'm just posting this now so that we don't have to go through every thread and double check. I trust you to make the switch yourself, but we will be double checking. Again, the code is there for a reason, I didn't just write it for my health.

Love you all, keep making those awesome banners and icons and what have you. Submit them for points!

Elisabeth Matheson, (student mod extraordinaire)

I would keep an eye on the offenders list. There is no way for me to simply bump the topic, but we are keeping eyes out for people breaking rules. This is so you know people who are abusing the club and the artists and can assess whether they want to make the person's request. It will have their offense next to the name of the person so that you can see what they did as well.


Thanks! Keep rocking out those graphics!

It's recently come to my attention that artists are having trouble locating pledge signers on the list, so here's a quick way to locate them: Press CTRL + F (or Command + F for Macs) and type in the person's name whom you're searching for on the list when teh search box pops up.

In addition Durmstrang no longer has a post requirement to claim their playby the official rules and pledge will be changed to reflect this change shortly.

Also at this time the Artists Association Pledge List has been updated all member from each school that had posted the past couple of months have been added to the appropriate list.

[Elizabeth Peevison]

I have now taken over for Prof. Stella Giordano.

With the new house point rules that are in effect, house points will no longer be given to Hogwarts students for making banners.

You will now be receiving galleons for work submitted.

[Elizabeth Peevison]

After discussion, it has been decided that you no longer need to sign the pledge.

Rules should be read first before you make a request.

If people break rules it needs to be reported to the AA representative for the persons school.

[Prof. Aleksander Maslov]

AA Updates

As Lizzie posted there is no longer an Artists Association Pledge meaning there is no set form to sign or fill out to receive banners. with this being gone also you do not have to use any certain form in your topic to request since a lot of people have PMed me about this.

Also a notice on the Banners for Galleons or Points topic, the only school NOT giving points for banners and avatars at this times is Hogwarts. Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will still continue to give out points for Graphics, if in future they choose not to do so then it will be announced and that topic altered to reflect this.

In addition at this time there is currently no bad requesters list it was removed when the club got altered, however if you get a double request, someone doesn't credit, someone claims your work, etc. You can refuse to fill their request and should PM the Moderator for their school so that they can then take care of the situation and ensure it does not happen again.

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

 

There is an Artist Check-In going on now until Dec. 31.  Link

 

A new rule has been set in place with the points for graphics. All artist association members must state ONE character/house for points to be awarded to. This information is explained more fully in the check-in. Characters and houses will be filed in the master list after everyone has checked in. If your character graduates or if you want to change for any reason, you must PM Nearra or myself with who you are switching it to and their house and why. If you have any questions about this please don't hesitate to contact either of us.

 

Finally, there are new contests up for the month of December! Remember that anyone, not just AA members can participate. However due to recent changes with how points will be awarded, I highly suggest you read the rules for entries.

 

Happy HOlidays!
