I have freed up more space in the Featured folder again...

HOWEVER:

Again I ask people only to submit their best stuff for the feature folder, otherwise please allocate it to the best folder available.  I rarely submit my own work to featured, I would ask other people to show the same consideration.

Just a reminder that Featured posts must be approved by a vote.  I would again request people to submit art to the appropriate folders unless the item in question is something they consider truly special deserving to be in the featured folder.   I don't mean to be rude about this, but the featured folder fills up quickly, and so needs to be emptied out.

I personally only approve items for featured if they jump out at me as something really inspired... I don't generally vote against things, I usually ignore ones that don't appeal to me personally, unless they violate rules, then of course I vote against them.

Please note, that while I publish my own work on a daily basis, I rarely submit to the featured folder, unless I am very proud of the work in question.  I kindly ask others to follow suit.

Please only submit your best work to the "Featured Folder" - it will be reviewed and voted on if it deserves to be there.

There is no problems with submitting other work, but please submit it to the appropriate folder.  All member's work will automatically be accepted there.

The reason for this is that the Featured Folder has a finite size, and it fills up too quickly if we allow all posts to it, so please use your best judgement when submitting to it.

No member (including myself) is exempt from this policy.

We had run out of space in the featured folder.  I have cleared up some room.

I have changed the rules... all submissions for the Featured folder need to be approved by a vote (including my own)

Posting to other folders does not require a vote, so if you want to be certain your stuff ends up here, I would suggest you post there.

The logic behind this is to make sure that things are filed correctly, and only the best of the best ends up in the featured folder, determined in a fairly democratic way. (It requires 2 founders to approve)

I regret having to do this, but as I said we keep running out of space, and I can't spend all my time sorting stuff to correct folders, that people could have done themselves with very little extra effort.  

I personally have not posted to the featured folder (except by accident) for a very long time, If I can swallow that not everything I make is always the best... I will post it, but not to featured.

As far as the "purge" to move stuff into category folders... The easiest way to do this was to do it by "type" of image as I can transfer a number at once... and so I have primarily been dealing with old Cartoons non-foot... on the basis that I thought the most fair way to approach it was to deal with my own older stuff first, but if you also create stuff of this nature, then yours are likely to have been moved into the appropriate folder as well.  Please be assured I was not picking on you, you just fell victim of me picking on my own style of work first.  (Obviously I rather like the work I do, so it is likely I also hold your work in great respect as well.)  On the Plus side, your older posts are now towards the top of the dedicated folders rather than towards the bottom of Featured.

I have decided to change how Galleries work.

From now on you should be able to post directly into the appropriate Gallery... PLEASE make sure the gallery you are posting to is appropriate for the work in question.

You can still submit items to the Featured Folder, but those will be subject to a vote from founders/co-founders/contributors (only requiring 2 approvals) ... this is just to make sure that the featured items are of a high quality.  

Official contributors and admins items will be automatically approved for the Featured Folder.
