could this club please stop writing like a retard in a "îT's côÔL tô wRiTe tHis wAy"-fucked up manner?

And I have nothing against sending mass-messages
but if there is nothing for the people getting the mass message to do (like voting or giving their opinion / feedback etc.) or any interesting information to absolutely know about,
then it's useless and only annoying to get one of these.

Also have the decision made by 'judges' will not satisfy anyone that made the 'best profile'.
It will be only those judges personal opinion then and that could be compared to all of the judges writing 'hey buddy your profile looks cool' into the persons comments.
In my opinion the best functioning way of deciding something like that is actually the way of public nomination and voting
since that is the way your list/signature and in this case profile gets seen and acknowledged by a large part of the active community so you can really be proud to have a 'best profile design' graphic in your profile.

Don't flame me for being the bad guy here and see it as criticism you can improve from.
If you don't agree feel free to start a discussion here.

your opinion is true and logical but there are so many candidates, narrowing them to a handful will be a lot easier, especially for the voters.....
besides, i for one will be judging the profiles objectively, i'm pretty sure the other four will do the same as well....

as spring_onions said..judging is for only narrowing down your choices as members..

and i trust the judges that were assigned..so i guess you should try to trust them as well.

i think it's very lame to not have to edit profile.

there is a button called "print screen", we can use it to cover all of the profile, and people can just view the picture.

Yes. It's probably one of the worst kind s of habits I've seen spreading all over the Internet. At least in my opinion that is.
It really drops the seriousness level of this club and if I'd have seen this when wanting to join this club, I'd have not.

Just wanting to say is when you do something at least a bit serious
refrain from using writing like that because it could keep people away.
There are enough alternatives (color, bold, underlining, size, ..).

If you have that much faith in this system then I'll try seeing how it goes. :)
So just another question:
Will it just give the results in a few weeks or will there be opacity and anything for the users to see in the process of it?

the judges will narrow down the no. of profile candidates to ten candidates only
and will be again narrowed down to five..
i think this will be over in a week or so because i just noticed that most of the admins and judges are also studying like me..
and by the 21st of the month voting by the users will start..

Sorry, Gonna Have To Object To That, Some Profiles Usually Have GIFF Images That "Print Screening" Cant Cover.....Plus Viewing The Real Profile Makes It More Authentic.....I Know How You Feel, I Update My Profile Everyday. You'll Just Have To Endure :/

Possibly create a thread in the club so that users can say they've updated their profile this way getting the other club members to see their profile ... i did look on the forums but couldn't see a thread for profile updated but if there is then sorry ... kinda hard to find out when the search function is offline XD

It's easier, but somehow, it's like you will already know the results. But let's wait for the creator's opinion on this.

It would be really helpful if the judges for the profile competition to leave constructive criticism for the profiles that didn't make the top 10. A simple like/dislike list would be fine

I have 2 more suggestions!

What about having a monthly competition for club profiles?
http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=5755
http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=6989

And taking screenshots of the profiles that won each month for future reference?
I take screenshots of my old designs before I make major changes:

QFT, i've ALWAYS wanted HONEST and CONSTRUCTIVE opinion about my profile... i feel like this will always help me improve, instead of people saying "AMAZING PROFILE~!". makes me feel like they're just trying to be nice D:

Totally Agree with you... I have to say that BenjoKun's Comments helped me a lot, with Profile making...
It's flatering to hear "Nice Profile", "I love it", etc, but it will not help me to make it even better..........

The constructive criticism is a very valid and good idea. But please do consider that the entries for each month are growing, since the popularity of this Club is growing as well. Each judge has to evaluate every single entry and that already takes up a lot of time what more if there has to be constructive criticism for each entry.
If any of you have any suggestions on how we can make this constructive criticism easier to do for the ones in charge please do tell us. But also consider that this is a club and clubs are supposed to be for fun and for the enjoyment of everyone. I don't think that the judges would like to evaluate lets say 20 entries and then add constructive criticism as well especially those who are regular judges each month. Please consider that.
But like I said if anyone here could come up with an idea that could be this idea easier for everyone please let us know.

A judge can simply write out their thought process when they score each category


Overall Appeal/Impression - 8% (out of 10)
- Looks great, good color choices
Content - 3% (out of 10)
- Only had basic info about the person and not much else (add hobbies?)
Concept/Layout - 15% (out of 20)
- The text is hard to read on many sections (use bigger font or a different font)
Creativity - 28% (out of 30)
- Props for drawing your own original characters
Overall Design - 25% (out of 30)
- Has a few slicing issues in the middle

Hello. I just joined this club and I am here, as Phraze suggested, to inform you about a user, Shirokuza. He had been plagiarizing people's profile layouts without permission and mentioning their names in the credits. There are many victims including myself. Here are some incidents that I would like to take this opportunity to share it with everyone, especially to all the gfx'ers, about him.

01.
Regarding my incident, this person sent me a private message, asking me if he can make a layout similar to my Narmaya layout, in which i made it clear to him that he isn't allowed to. Yet, he still made the layout, and to my utter disgust, nominated himself for May's best profile layout design contest. Here's the screenshot of the message:

02.
Prior to my incident, I happened to find one of his layouts on Deviantart which looks strikingly similar to my friend's layout. Worse, he did not include my friend's name on his credits and even wrote that the layout "is fully made by himself." Of course, my friend and I confronted him in the comments. He did not reply to our warnings and even deleted the layout from his Deviantart. Luckily, I still have the image so you can take a look for yourself here.

03.
After I posted a message in May's best profile layout design contest to report his plagiarism, a gfx'er sent me a private message, informing that he too is a victim as well. Here is a partial screenshot of the message:

These are the evidences that I have gathered so far. I do hope that the contest admins can understand and disqualify him from the contest as his layout is clearly not from his own ideas. In addition, I'd like to point out that plagiarism is a crime and should be taken seriously. It is no joke when someone took your work for granted without giving you any credits, when you are actually the one who puts the effort on everything.

Thank you.
