Requirements for Sig Requests - A Rant
Posted by Bansidhe on June 26th, 2008 filed in Life in GeneralYes, I know I have it posted under Request a Sig, and I know that 99% of the people who have requested sigs from me actually take the time to read my requirements. Bless your hearts for doing so! However, there’s always those few people who want a sig and could care less about being bothered by a wall of text.
My biggest pet peeve right now with requests is not getting image links. Yes, I completely understand that some of you are at work when you request a sig and don’t have screenshots handy. That’s fine as the majority of people write that in the message box. When you tell me that, I’m willing to wait. I’ll even send out a reminder if I haven’t received any after a few days and still keep you on the waiting list.

But when you send me a request with just your character name or just your guild, I’m really hesitant to work on your sig because that tells me you didn’t bother to read my requirements for a sig. Essentially, your time can’t be wasted to read that, so you waste my time.
Well, here’s where I throw a little fit. You can blame the pregnancy hormones or you can blame me for just being an evil banshee. I don’t care. If you cannot bother to read my requirements and follow the simple directions there, I cannot be bothered to complete a sig for you. It’s just that simple.
For those of you for whom I’ve had the pleasure to complete sigs, banners, and avatars, thank you for following directions, for patience in regards to your sigs, and for being so nice!

Maybe if you separate out the URL for the pictures from the message box and make it a required field it would help.
I’ll admit to being a scrub without picture links, but I thought I was above the law! (Or I was hoping you had a better idea) Let me know if you want me to take model viewer pictures!

That’s a good idea Auzara! That would clarify the need to have the screenshots sent a long with the initial request.
Although Bansidhe you’re right, if we don’t spend the time to read we don’t deserve to have them made. I wouldn’t be ok with just getting a character & server name and being expected to produce something from nothing either.

I knew I should have been more specific. I didn’t mean you, Auzara; I know what images you wanted. :)
I meant the last two people who sent requests with just a name and nothing else. No message, no image links, nothing.
Although, I did take your advice and created another box for links. Thank you!

It’s your time and effort being impugned upon, you get the right to refuse service as you wish. More people should make your life easier!
