Okay,... this still has something to do with the controversy that happening in
MT nowadays, about all the wallpaper quality bar being raised, and all the
bitching about wallies get deleted...
I'll just get to the point
I've seen a lot of ppl complaining "How am I spposed to improve if my walls
keep getting deleted?" and such...
One of the solution to that would be Tutorials
We have this 'Art and Design Lounge', ..
we have this pinned subject on 'Photoshop
Tutorial sites' although not all members can afford Photoshop... (
<.< that's another story.. )
Why don't we have our very own 'Art and Graphics
Tutorial' section...
okay, you might say,.. "Sheez, just go to those site links in the Tut sites
thread and d/l some tuts"
but wouldn't it be better to encourage our members, especially seasoned wallers
to start sharing their techniques and stuff to the n00bs or waller-starters..?
We are an Anime Art Community
afterall...
and moreover, tutorials posted as single threads in the 'Art and Design Lounge'
will eventually go all the way down the page and no longer visible. Just like
what nearly happened to my tut that I posted there..
Now how to make sure ppl will post there? Because posting tuts means putting
some effort and the tut that's posted there should have a minimum degree of
quality in mind..
Answer : by making the rules/system just similar to the 'Anime Reviews'
section...
ppl submit tuts and they gain level increase, and from the comments received.
To avoid tutorial spam, we should have a pinned subject 'Post tutorial
application here'..
It's only right, this is probably the biggest wallpaper making website you can
find, of course it should be encouraging people to get better.

Tutorial
A wiser suggestion cannot be made, I've always found it kinda stupid this place
doesn't have one. And now that the affliate's that was on the main page has
gone, it's even worse.
o_O
this is some sweeeeeet suggestion
I would love to share sum of meh skillz~ (tho I aint good in the 1st place but
will sufficent enough for noobs )
This is one idea I wanna support 100%~ ^_^
That's a great suggestion. And I think with the pinned subject 'Post tutorial
application here' like Korgie said, there wouldn't be so many rip problem,
anyway it would be easier to point them out than with the reviews for example.
Good idea. Dosen't hurt to learn some new stuff. And having a HIGH level to see
the tuts sounds promising. On the other hand, ppl who is retarded enough to rip
tutorials.
I support the idea. I have been to many tutorial sites and not all of them have
the topics I'm interested in...I would love to learn techniques from the master
wallers here. To make sure the tutorials aren't ripped, maybe the access to this
section of the forum could be limited to a few people at first than expanded if
the quality of the tutorials is high.
Hum, about the lvl 50 idea, I think it would be better to let the mods judge
according to the case. I mean ppl like Sir-Boingal0t are not lvl 50, though
their walls are amongst the best. Ok, that's more like an exception I guess
Good point is that some ppl would no longer have gripe their heads looking
around Good Tutorials and stuff.
Bad point are the rippers, obviously. I'd suggest that elite members or any high
lvl member post the tut, but that'd prolly make them gripe their heads. XP So I
dunno what to say at this point.
KogoroS ...did i spell it rite...??? anyway...this idea is good...but
again...there are many risks at here too...i am not very good at walling...i
wanna learn too...but...the ripping part is just...the issues now...this is a
tough decision....i have no idea how to suggest this...but elite, top-level, and
the top-wallers should post the tut ONLY...any one found ripping it...or post it
on other site...banned them...!!

Yeah. Only tuts I really use are Shinta's anyhow. I dunno, maybe ask the ppl
bitching about their wall to read tuts?
i dont think its needed, how hard is it for people to search "photoshop
tuts" in google. good tutorials are fairly easy to find so i dont really
see the need for it,
I agree I think a tutorials section would be a great idea to add on to MT,
especially as Korgano pointed out, this is a community. And I think the level requirements is a good idea for
posting tutorials, but definately a step back if you make it a requirement to
VIEW them. Duh.
i also think level 50 is a bit high. I mean, people like MyrrhLynn and I do
pretty good quality work, but we're not level 50. I know some members that
really try their hearts out and would love to write up some tutorials for
techniques they're really good at, but they're no where near level 50. And plus,
people that high up probably have better things to do than write tutorials. Why
not have a mod screen tutorials before they're posted, make sure they aren't
ripped? And if they are, simply warn/ban the ripper. Two birds with one stone.
Sounds like a great idea to me. Although, I do agree...it's not absolutely
necessary, since, there are soooo many other places to get tutorials. However,
I can see a tutorial section being pretty beneficial in a lot of ways. I
suppose the 50+ lvl rule is a pretty good rule, but then....I can't submit any
of my tutorials I am writing now...=(. But that's okay, I suppose they can
wait, or I'm sure someone else will cover the tutorials. I think, if we pose
some sort of rules to it, a tutorial section could go quite well.

Tell me what do you think about this..
MT deserves a tutorial such as this.
sounds good to me Korgano.. unlucky for you I'm not one of the higher people around on Mt
anyway, I like this suggestion ^^
m....well it should have really.....
and its great to hav that anyway..
ok sounds good to me...

I'm all for it Korgano, and it's a great idea. Let's see if Sheq'll pick it up though... and if he has the time to create it.

Somehow I don't think it would be a good idea
we would be swarmed by ripped tutorials 
Ppl browsing good-tutorials.com and posting them .... 
I'll support the idea.
how about making only lv 50+ can submit tutorial to prevent ripped tutorials ?
That's a great suggestion. And I think with the pinned subject 'Post tutorial application here' like Korgie said, there wouldn't be so many rip problem, anyway it would be easier to point them out than with the reviews for example.
ohh~~
that a good one~
to be more strict~ put only ppl who have the permission from the mod can post. that and the level 50 requirement.
I aggree with Dans' input...
Lv 50+ users who tries to lv up by submitting ripped tuts are just plain retarded...
Good idea. Dosen't hurt to learn some new stuff. And having a HIGH level to see the tuts sounds promising. On the other hand, ppl who is retarded enough to rip tutorials.

I think it would be a fine thing to have a tutorial area... Specially in this site...
Well... let's hope it gets out of the idea!
o.o, i think in the same way that GaiJin,but in general is a awesome idea Korganos
sounds good man, sounds real good. it would be mroe work for the mods though, and god knows they work pretty hard as it is.
Good point is that some ppl would no longer have gripe their heads looking around Good Tutorials and stuff.
