Well, I could, but no. I don't care to make her pay postage or deal with winning something then having to give it to someone else.

I am asking simply because I don't know what the rules are for winning with another's screenshot. I'm glad our LS photo won, but who gets the win? Whoever submitted it first? Whoever took it?

That's why I'm asking.

Any help would be appreciated.

Admin? Anyone even read this?

...really?

Yep.

She could have submitted one she took, no?

I'm guessing you took a few, as did everyone there. Why not use one of her own?

Wouldnt you be a bit upset if you took a pic, then it was used in a contest to win?

theres ways to address this internally before going public with it.

I wanted to see what the contest entailed before I came to Cookie about it. If it didn't matter who took the screenshot, then it's hers to win. No harm no foul. If it did matter, then I would bring it to her attention.

I read over the rules, and it isn't clear. That's why I posted the question.

Edit: I would have PM'd an admin about it, but there is no option on the lodestone to talk to support.

I hope they fix this for you Doctor Mog :o Hmm...it is weird but since they announced the winners I noticed all the screen shots load for me on the dev post but the one Cookie posted. o.o

The image was hosted on our site, she copied it from my gallery to a gallery of her own, linked it in her post, then the devs re-linked it. I wanted to know if it was the image I took, so I moved it to my original album to compare it to mine. It changed the image filename in the process and moving it back to her album did not recreate the filename she used, so it no longer links properly.

If thats how you feel, what is the point of this thread other than publicly chastising her?

To ask an admin what the rules are of the contest.

An explanation of what happened was required.

I was answering why I hadn't talked to her about it. Nothing more.

But you can't say you don't care about getting the prize, IN a thread asking if it should have been you winning instead. If you really didn't mind you wouldn't have made this thread is what im getting at.

I don't care about getting the prize IF the rules are that the image can be anyone's.

If the owner of the image is the winner, then yes I wanted to talk to her, and bring it to the attention of the devs.

There is no private chat to talk to the devs, so thats why there is a thread here.

I do absolutely want the prize if it is due to the owner of the image, not the submitter.

But I must first find out before talking to her about it.

ohhhh LS drama!
wait...

I'm in this linkshell.....

Nah man, no drama until Sanctus wanted an explanation of everything.

I just wanted to know the rules. Then bring it up if I should have received the win.

We can keep going and make drama if you want, but all I am here for is a simple answer from a dev.

the drama started the second you hit create thread before even talking to cookie. whether there is a private way of contacting the devs or not doesnt matter, either way YOU decided to let however many people feel like reading this thread know that you feel cookie stole her way into winning the contest without trying to resolve it professionally and keyword, INTERNALLY. Sounds like the responsible behavior of one of our officers to me. I mean I personally dont enjoy members of my ls being thrown under the bus by other members, in a public forum no less, no matter the reason.

All set. Resolved.

Oh c'mon guys! The servers have only been up for a day! D= Is this really worth it????

The image has lost it's link in the process. The original post has the [img '] with the correct filename. Which I can furbish.

I think I would have contacted a GM in game first to get his opinion. He probably would of suggested calling SE customer support for more information. And then MAYBE they would have instructed you to create a thread on the subject. Making a thread should of been the last step.

And if the reason for the thread was just to have your question answered about the rules then you could have omitted the name of the accused.

Way to call out your own linkshell members on a public forum. Your other members must be proud.

Yes, The exact same image.

I think it's going to be hard to prove it's actually your picture without some kind of obvious watermark or something. 15 people could have linked that picture, how can they determine whose it actually is? I know you said the deal about changing the link, but all that proves is that you have heightened access to the site the photo Cookie linked from.

I'm not trying to disprove that it's your picture or anything, all I'm saying is I don't think you have much to stand on.
