Quick, painless mod notes
This community is for assistance and education. Whether freely giving advice, in the form of tutorials, or whether requesting advice, in the form of specific questions or problems, 
icon_tutorial can and will help you with a good will. We're even pretty lenient about what constitutes "icons," and here you can find help on a wide array of topics relating to designing, creating, and manipulating images.
However: this community is not for requesting vague input, nor is it for asking opinions about your most recent work. Though positive feedback and constructive criticism are both necessary parts of the icon-making process, this community is not the place. Should you have an icon that you are working on, but you cannot get to work correctly for some reason, feel free to post to the community. Just asking, "what do you think?" or stating, "this is better than my last one" is not allowed. I believe I have seen communities designed for criticism and development comments; if you know of one, please feel free to reply with the link.
As is the case every time I make a mod post, this is not directed at any one individual or group but is rather an attempt to cut off an ever-growing trend before it becomes a serious problem. I have left comments on several individual posts but I just thought a gentle, community-wide reminder was in order.
On an unrelated note, I am about ten days behind in archiving the memories, so I apologize if you're looking for a recent post there and can't find it. Life explodes sometimes and rearranges priorities; you know how it is. I should be caught up by Friday night.
Oh, since I have your attention I may as well remind you that you can never be too thorough with the subject line, so don't forget to use it and be specific on all your posts!
Thanks much, you're a great group.
