DevilEvil

As some of you pointed me out (seemingly for years) my packs are no longer available. I have managed to build a single file with all my formerly shared work since the times of RUNE hahah. Nonetheless, I'm leaving them only for purchase now, it's a single purchase for a single file with all my work. Please contact me via personal email or twitter (profile)

I'd try to keep the least number possible of spoiler tags, it makes it hard for others to appreciate your work . In general is good, however, I'd use a different approach for the Susanoo sprite. As it is a combination of flames and ethereal armor, I'd look for a pixelated look in the armor and a separated flame animation over it, as the flame animation (which right now is basically a scale animation) is harming the quality of the sprite. If you are able to improve it that way, I'd go for it . Good luck!

Even if the service includes an NDA, any treatment you apply to the data of other people (emails, real names, etc.) must be communicated to those people, as well as having consent to apply that treatment. Actually, the real "blacklists" in which those who don't pay their debts are included, must have permission from those who are included. For example, if you don't pay your phone bills, you can be added to those lists by the company who you are in debt with (if they warned you in the contract you signed with them that you could be added to those lists if you don't pay your debts). Otherwise, it's illegal. As far as I know (and correct me if I'm wrong, since I may be), the very same laws would apply to us if the administration of rA published and maintained such a list (with personal data such as names, emails, etc.).

We could actually be accused by the scammer for violating the Data Protection Act. I don't see how. The service would need a non-disclosure agreement and list everything that users are not allowed to discuss openly or publicly.. other than that it's nothing to do with us (which is why i've said staff will not get involved with this project) - therefore they can accuse us as much as they like, it won't change anything. Oh, I was actually talking about what could happen if rA decided to make an official blacklist.

Maybe we should consider a change of colours xD.

Well seems that signing a contract like you said would be the best o: may i pm so you may lend me a hand in making one o: ? Huh a Blacklist for at least will give the members an idea of how they may be treated and how many scammers are around there, maybe a blog-like telling the experiences of scammed ppl may help too. There are many ideas that i think it may help. Thanks everyone for correcting me and answering to this o: with that effort i would like to hear ideas too, to do something agains this, the sign of a contract like DevilEvil said it's just a great idea. The text of a contract differs between countries, but there are general characteristics I could suggest you too add to your contract. There is always some type of risk when working with someone who's outside your country, but signing a contract is always better than doing nothing. Otherwise, choose favorable payment terms . Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any question.

I must agree to Jman here. I remember there was one on RUNE, and it had a reason to be there (avoiding the release of sprites in those places). Besides, it fit the type of community RUNE was. I can't find any reason to have one in rA though. We have had took action against scammers but we have never had a blacklist in any athena community. I just feel it would be a pain in the neck to moderate properly such a list. In the other hand Kido, we would have a lot of problems regarding the Data Protection laws, and I see no easy way to handle such data and apply such treatments to it. If you want less risk, then sign a contract. I do so with customers outside of the RO scene. I don't expect anyone to trust me nor I'm going to blindly trust my customers. When accepting certain payment terms (that translate into 100% risk on you) without even signing a contract, don't blame the scammer.

/me has no votes T_T /me cries a river
