RULES & REGULATIONS (Read Before You Post!)

[d_palapuz]

As I was doing some changes in the category, I was looking for something that's missing - Rules and Regulations thread.
We all know that what makes a category successful is that when members follow the rules and regulations in each categories.

* Learn how they do it in the movies/posters/commercials/music videos/etc.
- Each artworks you see on TV, ads on your computer, music videos, has their own secrets. Whenever I watch or see these kinds of stuff, I know I can do them as well in my own ways. That's when I find out that Adobe Photoshop is one of the most used software by many professionals. So think about it, looking at your artworks comparing it to the professionals, it makes you think that you can be like them, do you?

* Everyone is Welcome!
- This category is not only for those who knows how to use Adobe Photoshop. This is for ANYONE, young or old, etc. To the newbies, don't be afraid to ask questions, start some discussions in appropriate threads, I assure you that you will learn something from other members here.

* This category is strictly for Tutorials only!
- This doesn't mean that you cannot make any discussions in this category. Of course you can! You can start discussions in the tutorials, as long as their appropriate in that specific thread. Otherwise, your post will be deleted/moved. After my years of moderating this category, the Questions | Comments |Concerns and Show and Let Everyone Know What They Think of your Amazing Artworks seems to be the place where most of the members chat about the category, tutorials, artworks, etc, based on the views. If there's something you'd like to discuss that's not yet discussed in the other threads, feel free to make a new thread. But as soon as the thread is not active and it's been discussed or problem solved, it will be moved to the Questions | Comments |Concerns thread to avoid confusions to other members.

* Respect each others works!
- After years of experience here, we've never experienced anyone hating on another member's artworks. Everyone here appreciates other members works very well. These artworks done by members takes a lot of time and effort so all you could do is appreciate it. If you're here to hate and steal other members works, etc, don't even think about it. All you could do is give credit to the person who made it, or even better, do it yourself! And I'll be glad to help you out!

* Anyone can post tutorials that have never been put here yet.
- If you have an interesting tutorial that you'd like to show everyone here, go ahead! We'd love to see some fresh ideas from everyone! That's what keeps this category active, because everyone's contributing, giving their time to be here, etc.

* Copyright Infringement will not be tolerated in this forum!
- If you found a tutorial from other sites that you'd like to post, make sure you don't just copy the whole thing and take credit for it. Most of the tutorials here are something I have learned and not just copied somewhere else, if they are, I put the site where I got it from and the author (if possible). It's ok to post tutorials that's not your own, but if you really want to make it your own, be creative and start making your own tutorial and your hard work will pay off.


P.S. Please let me know if I'm missing something on this list that's important. Give me a message if you have anything to add on the list that I didn't mention.
