Who's messing with my functions?

Addressing the person who corrected my infos (yet again).
Please, for the very last time: I'm awared about the existence of "fullscreen graphician" and "logo graphician" functions, but I don't want to be associated with them. Why is this so hard to understand?

To whom it may concern, check out the following topic as well:

That's OK. In fact, not OK at all, however that's not the case here...

Someone added two other functions to my info page, and changing that should be only my privilege, not?

just make sure you don't paint any fullscreen graphics or logos anymore so people can't vote... problem solved ;P

Heh. Exactly. No more fullscreen graphics or logos. Maybe just paint sprites and charsets from now on or compose music like Leon now does. :)

there are very few fullscreen graphicians anyhow, since you have to use X-expanded sprites in the top/bottom border for it to be truly fullscreen, which is just too limiting

Well, fullscreen depends on the mode people use for their vice, doesn't it? Only if it's maximized, it can be full screen.

So I hereby request the function "Fullscreen Emulamer" and "Windowed Emulamer" to be added to the freelance functions!

A fullscreen coder is anyone capable of ESCOS.

People, you're not helping me at all :)

Anyhow, I'd kindly ask the person who messed up my infos, not to do so any more. Everything is going back to its original state...

Put a note in your trivia or something. The one responsible might not even read this thread.

Ok, I think I get it. It's a bit confusing (like a lot of other things here), so just to let you know what actually happened...

When someone is editing a certain membership in group infos (even in groups where the scener is labelled as inactive, trial or former), he could add/remove functions for a certain scener on his own, and the functions will show up on the scener's userpage. It would be nice to change this so only the actual sceners could add/remove their functions?

Just on a side note, I think "Fullscreen Graphician" and "Logo Graphician" are stupid functions. Just "Graphician" would be enough imo. Or we could also add "Sprite Graphician" and "Charset Graphician".

Yes, and also divide the "coder" job into raster, maths, OS and drive coder.

I guess it won't be nessesary, but how about I dig up the old survey system so people can make a vote on it? :)

I can't remember why we made those types back then, but I guess that whoever thought it up, thought it was a good idea... ??

Till now not even one fair reason showed up why are the graphician sub-functions necessary so just crop them out finally, will you? :) No voting is neccessary!

Hm, possibly some coders that did Logos (back "then") ?
I think that was quite common. So maybe some are proud but yet modest enough not to call themselves Graphician?
Just an idea to spice up the 'discussion' when indeed, I see no need

Ok, but in that case all those graphicians who ever coded viewers for their graphics should get a "Viewer-coder" function as well.

that would lead to the question if someone who can code is a coder or just someone who does code.
I want an extra box "optional" for each category :)

I for one never understood the divisions of Graphicians, especially 'full-screen' as opposed to what? If I leave 30 pixel rows dead at the bottom of my pic, am I not a full-screen graphician anymore?

Confuses the hell out of me too - although it took me a while to accept that "graphician" was actually a word! ;-)

Since I consider the background as an active part of the picture, in my definition even logos are all full screen! There you go, problem solved. :)

IIRC, that word was invented by Antichrist/GP, right? A kind of strange term indeed.

Ah yeah, delete these subsections already. I also never got the point of it. Spent countless minutes considering when adding new sceners "if he maybe only was a logo-graphician? Or can I be so brave and label him fullscreen-graphician? Nah, better play it safe..." ;-)

That is not true.
I just made myself a musician in my old group Time to test this.
It did register with the Time-memberlist but my handle-page wasn´t changed.

I don't know then, as I removed the added functions in the membership area. That makes it even more confusing.

you might consider asking perff in private, who might reply with someone in his team having too much fun with changing entries in the database once again.

I think that only your functions in your active group show up on your page.
