Suggestions

[Carpaccio]

I understand the level of relationt that's required to make oneself feel like doing a custom sheet for someone else. But I'm not talking about just customs. Whatever the case though, there's a clear lack of respect for the request forum, and I would suggest having a minimum post count for posting there if we must have a request forum. I'm a little tired of us getting like fifty members for all of them to make only a single request and not follow up on any other topics. Also perhaps if we have a request forum we should have the stipulation that one must have submitted sprites which were ALSO ACCEPTED.
I want to make it clear that I'm not upset because "people never fulfill requests" because I'm aware some requests have been filled. Even my request of Morshu and Ganon was fulfilled, and that's a wretched CD-I game that's nearly impossible to emulate, much less rip from properly. I think people should just be more appreciative of the fact hat some people actually DO fulfill requests.
Anyway, what I'm saying is, the request forum should have a few rules and guidelines to be able to post there. I think there should be a system of exchange as well, somewhere. Maybe sprite trade, such as "I'll rip Dr. Robotnik from Sonic 3d Blast for you, if you rip Dr. Weil from Mega Man Zero 3 for me." But even witht hat there would have to be rules. Mayeb collective topics with each person's preferences and abilities, such as "I prefer to rip from GBA and SNES, usually through tile ripping and VRAM viewing."
Also, I think there should be less 'trollish' posts in legitimate topics. I notice people are sometimes being jerks just for the sole purpose of being jerks, for absolutely no reason to people who have been down on their luck and have had soem sort of misfortune, such as when someone loses their cache of sprites due to a hard drive error. I, for example, posted a request for some sprites to be ripped that I had once had but lost due to a hard drive failure, and rather than having posts that were legitimately contributing to the topic and constructive, they were pretty much stupid and not worth saying such as 'owned'. Not only was this completely useless and a waste of a post, also bumping a topic for good reason, but it was condescending and rude. I believe people should be a bit more respectful and if they must troll or flame, they leave it at Spamhaul where it belongs and let people who are attempting to conduct legitimate work on spriting alone.

...Whew what a rant...
