a plea from an old schooler
please dont use modified PAL emulating screenshots for pictures on this site.
people may want to use this site to download unmodified c64 art in gif or png format with pure pixel definition.
if they want to see the stuff in highly debatable pal emulation mode people can download the PRG files and view them in that mode on an emulator.
Thanks

That's not twisting what you said, just pointing out the ridiculous situation of you telling us it's a democracy and groepaz telling us we HAVE to do it a certain way and like it. It wasn't even aimed at you but you seem to have taken it that way, so be it.

This got stupidly out of hands. I have nothing against you Pete or STE personally, please accept from me a virtual beer, and let's keep it cool. |

Agreed. You actually seem to have the mostly same opinions we're trying to get across, that people shouldn't be forced to look at things in a certain way, to us that just includes forcing palettes on artists, but somewhere along the line it's all gotten confused and tangled into some other stuff, probably due to all the noise being produced in the thread that really had nothing to do with what we were trying to talk about. |

even in every democracy you have to live by the rules set up by someone one else. its the one and only way a society works. |

Heeere we go again. A democracy at least denotes some kind of voting system, I've got no problem conforming to something there's a majority decision on as there's always the option to remove images if they're deemed to be "ruined" by the owner. You seem to just be saying we'll decide and you're stuck with it.
I've also seen no absolute reason for not doing it the way we asked, just excuses and it's all rhetorical/theoretical anyway so to keep starting this thread up again is perpetuating an argument for no actual reason.

you just dont *accept* the reasons given. entirely your own problem.
and no, we dont have a voting system. we don't believe in the thousend monkey theory, go to wikipedia if you want that.
and as oswald says, we DO listen to the users. get the majority of users behind you, then come back. but please dont ask us to help you in the process. |

but nobody has actually asked for anything except "please dont screw with the pixels" have they?
and to be frank from an artistic point of view to ask people not to fck with MY uploads of MY screenshots of MY artwork in MY entry seems quite valid.
and if you arent happy with that then you most certainly have the option to delete my entry and all my art from your scene database completely.
which to also be perfectly honest wouldnt bother me one bloody iota atm, but it would leave your database less than complete.

Why are we still discussing this, it has clearly been pointed out that there is no real rule how to properly upload screenshots, I would call it a guideline rather than a rule. Some of the diligent squirrels from the admin crowd sometimes spot a grossly out of standards preview pic and decide to replace it (like f.e. the ones that are downsized, upscaled or raped and mangled in real stupid ways).
STE replaced the replacement and locked the entry, and nobody objected or complained.
So, Pete, honestly: your point being? |

Half of my point is exactly the same as the one you just made and I keep repeating it throughout the thread, it's all rhetorical, it was a "what if" question based on some peoples insistence that IF there was some kind of gallery Pepto palette would be enforced. As there isn't anything like that happening, as far as I was concerned the discussion was over a long time ago but certain people kept having to snipe at me and Ste and continue to turn a simple request or suggestion into an argument. Maybe they're used to people kowtowing. Maybe I should just let certain people have the last word as I've tried to this time.
As far as I'm concerned it's over.
