"When you use another's skin to create your own you need to alter/create ALL of the images to be your own. Half of the files here date back a year older which indicates they are not original to your work."
I think it's time there was a nice, clear new list of what is expected of a skin submission....and why.
If a 'flag goes up' with a skin submission whether due to clear 'familiar' appearance with something else, or the uploader has 'got it wrong' in the past, the submission is looked at more closely.....especially if another member has brought it to our attention as well.
Sometimes it's a per-pixel comparison combined with dates to determine the original work and the 'copy/derived'.
Image creation dates are a clear indicator that not all images were original to that skin....then the only thing to determine was whether all images irrespective of date were original to that author....or whether consent was included for any that were not.
This isn't usually a complicated task...but it IS time-consuming...which is where the general community has the chance to lessen the load on the volunteer admins.
2 ways.
1. Help find them and clearly provide links to original and 'copy' for the admins to deal.
and better...
2. Do not add to the workload by uploading any 'problem' works yourselves.
