That fact is people dont get ranked for sprites so even if they do "cheat" they gain nothing.


You, sir, are misinformed. We don't rank for 8-bits, somehow somewhere along the line people managed to change that into we dont rank for any sprites at all period. Its like playing telephone in the schoolyard, someone says one thing, and it becomes something different.

Thank you so much. ZeroZeroOneNine and several other ops have simply refused to even look at my sprites simply because of their misinformation. If SoulKnightGT was misled by that as well, then I would request that someone re-evaluate my builder app.

Oh lord, when I saw this topic, I could of sworn that Wyboth posted it.

I agree with many others, it is only cheating if you use a program to place the blocks for you.

And yes, Spritecraft sucks in classic.

He is abusing his rights. He uses every possible way to talk about gimp being evil. Even when the conversation has nothing todo with it he manages to start arguments about it. It Is not only me that feels this way, there are other staff members and high ranks that believe he has taken this too far
