Graphics Section AdjustmentsIn the GFX Sales and Giveaways forum, it is hard to get your voice heard among the noise.
The market is full of people who just picked up photoshop, copy an image, distort is somewhat, add some text and then are all the sudden putting up their own sig shop, this makes it extremely difficult for users who know what they're doing with photoshop to get their voice heard with all the flooding.
Unlike the other markets here at Sythe, graphics require a certain amount of skill to perform. Where as anyone can sell pins, not everyone can make a piece of art.
What I am suggesting is that users who are recognized as being significantly skilled in photoshop have their own sub-forum, where not just anyone can post. There are several ways to approach this.
- New user rank, Artist or something, only Artists can start threads in this new sub forum.
- Split Sales and Giveaways, once a user has submitted a certain amount of free work, and a GFX mod (or whomever) approves they can then post in the sales.
- Something else I didn't think of.
Another thing, the Graphics section is dead. Long gone are the days where there were 8 minimum posts for signature of the week, every week. The last SOTW was 2 months ago. I miss looking forward to the friendly challenge of trying to make a sig better then someone else.
The graphics section needs some new, or additional moderation. There are only 2 Graphic Mods, and one of those two is a moderator for something else, how can we expect him to focus on a dying sub-forum (No offense Tribal).
Sythe is what got me started on graphics, and I would hate for other people to not get started on it because of the inactivity. Something needs to change.
