LockedHave you ever tried to log in on KYM and have you seen one of those images?
Have you ever though "Those sucks, I could do a better one" or "Man, I wish one of my images was there"? Then this thread is for you! After this suggestion, the KYM moderation team has decided to hold a contest to choose new login images, and until August 15th you will be able to submit them!
- How can I participate?
It's rather easy, you just need to upload a 180×180 picture to the website with a common tag (login2015). Don't forget those two, because if the image is bigger or isn't tagged correctly it won't enter the competition. Do this all the times you need, because there's no submission number restriction!
Anything is allowed: from GIFs to drawings, references to memes or injokes, JUST GO CRAZY! Do you have a good idea but you can't into Photoshop or suck at drawing? No worries! In this same thread you can make requests, and both requester and creator will be credited if the image wins (remember to add it into the image notes)! Also, in case you made fanart or some drawing for the contest, we would appreciate that you upload the original to its appropiate gallery.
If the image doesn't appear instantly on the list, do not freak out. The server may take a while to include it on the list, so there's no need to reupload it or change the tags.
- How will the winners be decided?
Winners will be decided by image karma. You can still post your submissions here to promote them and get forum karma, but it won't be considered in order to choose the winners. Anyway, karma doesn't guarantee that your image gets choosen: if the mods think the image it's offensive or it hasn't enough quality to be choosen it will probably be rejected.
- Is there any restriction?
- No antagonistic images: Images that make fun or insult websites, communities or specific fandoms WILL BE IGNORED. Honestly, if I login, the last thing I would want to see is a "Yiff in hell furfargs" or "Remove all brones" image.
- No KYM users (except admins): The last thing we want is a image that mocks some user to be on a public part of the website. For that reason we decided to ban all the images that target specific users. The only exceptions to this rule are the administrators (like Don) or the Internet Scientists (like Forest Gibson).
- No Riff-Raff injokes: (sigh, yes dad) First, some of them revolve arround particular users, and that breaks the rule above. Second, most of the jokes are pretty obscure, to the point where most of the website and basically anybody who doesn't visit RR will aknowledge about them. Adding an image with a joke that a huge part of the userbase doesn't understand to a place that also visit people who is alien of the community would be extremely confusing.
- Finally, in case there's a overload of images with a similar theme (for example, Don jokes) among the winners, only a few of them will be choosen. We can't give an exact number, but you could expect a max of 5. If some user has various of his submissions among the winners there will also be a discard. We will try to stick to a max of 3 there.
- When will the winners be announced?
August 20th, we decided to delay the announcement so we culd have a moe relaxed discussion about the winners.
- How many images will be choosen?
It will depend on the number of submissions, so we can't give an exact number. The only thing we can ensure is the minimal of accepted images will be 20, and it can only get higher. The number of winners will be announced on August 20th.
So, what are you waiting for? DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS! JUST…
