NEW SUBMISSION RULE

CloseHi there. Just a quick thread here to explain a new submission rule.
If I see something like this:
..as one of your screenshots, I will have no choice but to deny the game instantly. It's a default RTP faceset being used as a screenshot. There's nothing wrong with using these in your game, but they don't exactly need to be featured in game page screenshots. They do not serve any use in marketing and promoting your game, thereby defeating the purpose of the gamepage. You want to display effort on your gamepage - you want people to actually play and critique your work.
Please reserve screenshots for things like custom facesets, mapshots, special things, concept art, and, most important, in-game captures of the actual game.
Also...
While I have nothing against the faceset generator, please don't submit numerous images of character facesets created using this tool. If you would like to display them, please add them as a composite image or in the context of an in-game screenshot, or as small images for your character descriptions.
Thank you :)

Sounds good. That's a bit of a "common sense" rule though, but it's a step on the right direction to ensure the proper use of the site.
Although, I'd wish this could be taken a step further. Custom facesets/artwork should go on their own section independent from screens; Mapshots are probably best fitted for development blogs or the screenshoot topic/feedback section; etc. Anyone can do this simply by adding custom pages to their profiles, and would make for better organized/more efficient gamepages.
It would be even better if there was an "automatic" way that made it uploading all kinds of media, even music and video, as easy as uploading screenshots (And no, our current, plodding, media submission system doesn't cut it). Specially for those of us who don't know much of html/bbc/css/or are lazy. Also, additions made to custom pages are not notified to subscribers, which is something that can discourage the use of this otherwise neat feature... Oh, but I'm probably day-dreaming at this point. Nevermind. =)

...is allowed?

If it's in the random screenshot, that means it was already accepted or added to a previously accepted game. How will that be handled? Will you remove them from a game profile when they are spotted? (I think you should)
