Roy Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Well, you can get most of the pictures off of Google/RuneWiki. Then you Photoshop the background out and you get a nicer looking picture. Just let me know which ones you want in a PM and I'll do em up for you. No. You have to take the pictures yourself. isnt that a rule from the forum and wiki's rules?no stealing other people's work?if so,ur outa luck as u gotta take them urself :/ Or you can just post the guide in text and where there needs to be a picture, just put a small description of what you want and wait for someone that has some time to take it. This of course doesn't work well with quests but for the new crucible update it would probably be fine. Edited June 20, 2012 by Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think anyone really cares if you get the pictures from Google? For all we know, I took all those pictures myself. There's no variety in the Runescape items, so all the pictures will be identical. Edited June 21, 2012 by cash money95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For something like Runescape, where the sprite will be the same, you can't really, but that doesn't mean you should. If you don't feel like going and getting the picture yourself, then you don't deserve the use of that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last file to be removed was 'Site Overhaul, 2008'. I love this system. Yes, bureaucracy at its best, complete with all the red tape you can shake a stick at. Take a number, we'll get to you eventually. Now serving #1987401 But on a serious note, it's definitely possible to bring in a few volunteers to approve and add content. It's not as simple as just giving certain people access to edit guides though, and the specifics will need to be worked out, but I think that it's a very good idea (and something that's been planned, but never got off the ground).

I know we aren't supposed to, but how would anyone even find out? There are ways. We have eyes and ears everywhere! That, and thanks to some very vigilant members, we've caught several image rippers. Even if you could get away with it though, it's not right. Yes, it might be easier than getting the pictures yourself, but I'm asking that you don't. I'd rather have a guide with no pictures than a guide with the most amazing ripped pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have a guide with no pictures than a guide with the most amazing ripped pictures. You can get away with it for 1 or 2 times but at a certain moment there will be a mod breathing in your neck saying that you ripped something, warns you and probably suspends you as well. And if you then decide to go clean and get the images yourself, they don't trust you anymore and will check every image and every word. Then probably try to ban you for something that wasn't ripped (but just a coincidence) and trying to say that it wasn't ripped doesn't work at that point (no one believes you). They have caught rippers, I know. I was one of them (years ago). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire wolf737 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'd be happy to see a team put together of people who could put content onto the site quickly. It's a bit disheartening to try and produce a guide within a reasonable timeframe of the content being released and for it not to go live on the site quite quickly. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for people who have written extensive and incredibly long guides. I WOULD TOTALLY VOLUNTEER Look, here we have a list of problems: 1. Sal can't update quickly enough 2. Sal hasn't appointed other distinguished members to add the new content once it has been accepted. Solution: One of the distinguished members (like Jethraw or Roy for example) can get access to add the new content. When should this be done?: Now. If one of you distinguished members has Sal's number, call him, and work out a plan on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
