Rules

CREDIT. Regardless of how simple or complex whatever it is you're taking may be, I do expect to be credited for it. It is my work, after all and claiming it to be your own or just not bothering to credit will earn you one unhappy me--which is a world you don't want to get into. All you have to do is put the community username somewhere in the keywords or comments section of the icon upload page.

COMMENT. If you take something, whether you plan to use it right away or not, I would appreciate it if you could drop a comment to let me know. I like knowing where my icons are being used, what people like, and even what they don't like. Sometimes I determine the subject and style of my icons/graphics based on what it is people seem to be most interested in and it's impossible to tell if I'm not getting any feedback. It barely takes a minute to comment and doing it would help me out tremendously.

DON'T ALTER. I don't care if I've posted a thousand perfect bases, do not under any circumstances take and alter anything you find in this journal unless I give you permission to. It doesn't matter how simple something may look, there are always little things I have done to improve the quality or tweak them here and there and I do not appreciate my work being modified by anyone. You are welcome to ask for permission, but there is no guarantee that I will say yes and in the event that I don't, I expect my wishes to be honored.

DON'T STEAL. The journal world really isn't as big as we all seem to think. If you take something that belongs to someone else and try to pass it off as your own, no matter what it is, word will always find a way to travel back to the rightful owner. Anything found in this journal is not to be posted on any other site without my express permission. If you take something of mine without asking and without crediting, I will find out about it and I'm certainly not afraid to call anyone out.

NO REQUESTS. I make icons in my free time, which I don't have much of, and only when I'm inspired or motivated to. Taking on requests can be very time consuming and I don't like to have people waiting around on me. Occasionally, I may make a post that is open to either personal or general requests but there will always be limits. Don't make specific requests to any posts outside of these. Once they're closed, they're closed.

If you have any questions, just comment here and I will answer them when time allows.
