Photoshop Tutorial Forum Posting Rules

If you are writing a tutorial, please read on...

If you are requesting a tutorial, please scroll down to "Section 2: Requesting a Tutorial"

If you are replying to a tutorial, please scroll down to "Section 3: Replying to a Tutorial"

Section 1: Writing a Tutorial

Rule Number 1: Purpose

Graphics serve only one purpose, to ADVERTISE! If a graphic is not advertising something or is advertising something inappropriate for this forum, it has NO place anywhere here.

Rule Number 2: Titles

All tutorial titles should begin with "[How To]" and be labeled with this icon " ". Titles should be clearly marked and no title should be duplicated. Any posts with generic titles will be renamed. Double posts will be deleted!

Rule Number 3: Image Screen Shots

When posting screenshots/images, make sure they do not exceed 300px*200px or provide a link to the image. Please try to avoid from uploading images to WinCert, use a free service like imageshack alternatively.

Rule Number 4: Less is Best

As

Simple

As

Possible

When writing a tutorial, try to get to the end in less than 10 steps. Filter through your tutorial before posting it, so only the necessary information is used. Please keep in mind you can post a maximum of ten images per post.

Rule Number 5: Effort is Appreciated

Please don't provide a link to a tutorial, actually copy and paste it into a new post. If you were not the creator of the tutorial, please give credit to the resource it originated from.

Section 2: Requesting a tutorial

Rule Number 1: Titles

All tutorial requests should begin with "[Request]" and be labeled with this icon " ".Titles should be clearly marked and no title should be duplicated. Any posts with generic titles will be renamed. Double posts will be deleted! Once Tutorial Requests have been answered the title beginning will be changed to "[How To]" and the post with the tutorial will be bumped up to the top, for convenience and easy readability.

Rule Number 2: Tutorials Only

This is NOT the forum to request graphics in! Only graphics tutorials may be requested here. This forum is about LEARNING how to create graphics! Any graphic request topics will be closed and the user's warn levels increased.

Rule Number 3: New Idea=New Topic

Topics have titles for a reason, don't request multiple tutorials in a single topic. New Idea=New Topic.

Section 3: Repliers Rights

The 1 and only rule: Please Rate Tutorials

If you decide to reply to a tutorial, please rate it. That way we can see if a tutorial is helpful or not! (I will be on the hunt for fake and useless tutorials and removing them!)

Section 4: Wincert Forum Rules

The forum rules still apply, no matter what! Here is a link to them, just in case you cant find them!
