Community Rules

This comm is open to anyone to post codes, layouts, resources, tutorials, and requests for help and content. Of course, we do have some rules, so please read through them before jumping in; thank you!

Treat others the way you'd like to be treated. This is not a drama comm, and we expect you guys to be awesome and stay civil. If a situation gets out of hand, please contact a mod, and leave comments intact so we can accurately handle the situation.

Please tag your posts and check out the tagging guide if you have any questions!

■ Very long posts or posts formatted with your own div styling for organization should be behind a cut to save people's f-lists.

Work safe above the cut, please!

■ If posting codes, guides, etc. absolutely do not post content that you did not make. That's stealing, and it's super uncool, bro! If you are posting expanded/edited codes made by yourself using another user's coding as well, please be sure you have their permission (You do not need direct permission if they allow edits to be re-posted in their blanket rules.)
■ Do not post tutorials/links to tutorials that show people how to steal codes from other users. Again: Stealing. Not cool.
When asking for help with something, please check the help tags (help: coding, help: graphics, help: icons, help: layouts, help: other) first to see if your question has already been posted and answered to avoid duplicates.

We do not allow game ads to be posted on this comm since there are so many communities specifically for that already; if you're pimping a game as an addition to a regular post, that's fine. (OK: You post an RP code and mention in the post, oh hey, also I'm running this game! NOT OK: Posts dedicated to game promo.)

We do allow other types of community promos if they are related to RP (icon comms, other types of resource comms, etc.) Just shoot us a comment in our dropbox beforehand and we'll let you know if it's cool to post!

Re-using old icons

[info]jadewinter
[info]rpresources
I'm not sure this is the right place, but I'll ask anyway. I have some icons on older journals that I'd like to re-use. They are all credited appropriately and would be again of course. The reason I'm posting is because the icon journals I got them from are now deleted and I really don't know if it is considered inappropriate to use icons from deleted journals for newer characters/journals/games. So I guess I'm asking is it appropriate in general? Or if someone has deleted their journal is it better to try and choose a new face or icons? These are extremely rarely iconned faces - the deleted journals were the only places I ever saw them, if that makes a difference to anyone's opinion on this.

If they'd kept their journal up, but deleted all their content except a request to "DON'T USE MY ICONS", then I'd say maybe not?

But it's a deleted journal, so who knows what the circumstances are. I'd still credit the deleted journal. It's just good practice and shows that you didn't take the icons without credit. (I credit myself when I make my own icons just so it's super clear where they come from.)

Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Others might have a different POV.

Thank you!

Oh I wouldn't then, though I do wonder about that for some other icons - the journal's up but no "DON"T USE" post in that case but right now I'm not wanting to use that face.

That's my instinct, so thank you. If asked I would take them down of course.
