Comments are screened in this post for privacy, unless you clearly state that you are okay with your comments to be viewed by others, or if I feel you have a legitimate question that others possibly would like answered as well. Please keep in mind that this post is specifically kept unlocked, so it is visible to the public.

1. Why can't I see your entries anymore?
This community is now Members Only. Membership is moderated. Entries will be locked within 3 days. Please join to view further posts!

2. Why has anocea now become Members Only?
Many people have been using my graphics without credit. Now, I am aware that this is (unfortunately) common and can happen anyway with users who are members of the community, but I'd like to think that if you have now made the effort to join then you would have the decency to credit. - I have also noticed that when anocea was Open Membership, my Bandwidth was eaten up quickly due to hotlinking, and since making the community Members Only the % has decreased dramatically.

3. Why did you reject my membership request to wilderness?
The only time I reject a membership request is if your journal is empty and obviously never used (sockpuppet accounts). Same goes for Google+, Facebook, etc. Many other graphic communities enforce this same rule as well.

4. May I use your graphics on other websites?
I kindly request that you stick to either LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, or other similar blogging websites* as well as crediting myself (wolf) or the community (anocea @ LiveJournal). Recently I've caught users on message-boards using my icons & posting my icons (as well as graphics made by other makers from LiveJournal) all taken without permission or credit, and claiming as their own. I simply would like to know where what I make is being used and by whom. As mentioned in the previous question, Bandwidth/hotlinking is also an issue with this. Thank you for understanding! (*Exceptions to the rule can be made, but please just ask first, and remember to credit!)

5. Do you take requests?
No, for the time being. All requests are closed until further notice due to lack of free time on my part. I also do not make custom journal layouts. Sorry!

6. I like the image you used in Icon #X in Post #X. Do you have the original?
Every image I use for my graphics I either have saved in my Pinterest, we♥it, or on this community's Tumblr accounts. I usually have the images saved in the order that I used them, so if it was an older post chances are you would have to search through a few pages to find it. Or, if you're really not finding the image, just ask!

7. Help! You have broken links / disappearing icons!
If you see any broken links or graphics that are no longer showing up, please let me know here and I will fix them ASAP!

Any other general questions or comments can be added here and I will reply as promptly as possible. :)
