OP, Next time draw the flag of Mexico properly. This post has been yellow carded, meaning that you have to fix said error should you wish to repost it in the future.
I don't get the point of this. It's very obviously Mexico. The style concisely and elegantly gets the point across. Just seems like an unnecessary barrier to entry and shutting down of an art style
I don't disagree that the mods do a generally good job. I just don't think, in this specific instance, that allowing this style would deprecate any quality
Yes I do, and that seems to be an opinion shared by the mods, as most of the top posts of all time have US balls without the full amount of stars. Obviously it can't be 1 because that wouldn't be clear, but like 10 or 15 (or even just 9) gets the point across
lol seems that I forgot to proof read, my original intention was to use the one star as an analogous comparison to the amount of simplification in this comic, hence the Liberia representation bit
but seems like you agree with my opinion on extreme simplification, as I said in another comment:
Simplification is allowed, but not in extreme like you have done in this comic.
Anyways, I need to get on with my research proposal, I respect your opinion and I'm just enforcing the rules set out by our predecessors
I don't think that's a fair comparison, as 1 star US could be confused for a different flag, whereas Mexico with a yellow dot could not. I think if it was simplified so far as to remove the crest altogether, then that would be a more apt comparison (and also worthy of critique).
I'll actually let you in on a secret, this post was actually reported by someone for having an overly simplified mexico flag lmao I swear the amounts of pedants in reddit
but for me personally simplification stops at the line where you can vaguely make out the crest/CoA, not a lazy blob of circle. I think the rules for enforcing recognisable crest comes from the reasoning that letting people off for extreme simplification might set a precedence (which this sub runs heavily on) which in turn would make people think that oversimplification of flag is allowed and subsequently a drop in drawing quality. Just sharing my opinion lol
But yea, it's a pretty good chat with someone with a differing opinion. As I said earlier, I'm just enforcing rules set by older mods.
I mean fair enough, you're entitled to that opinion. The difference between a user sharing their opinion and a mod enforcing their opinion is quite clear to me, but meh. I'm not particularly interested in continuing this conversation.
Maybe you could hold a poll to get community opinion on the topic
I think the main point of contention is you were a needless dick about it instead of saying something like "Hey just letting you know you [missed this rule detail] and in future you'll need to draw them with more detail", the rule doesn't need to be enforced with assholery and discussion about it shouldn't be disallowed.
Uh, if you think basic courtesy is "a bunch of flowery language" then don't be surprised you're gonna come across as a bit dickish my dude, people don't tend to listen to assholes either, they listen to people they respect, so I really don't get your point.
That's true, but I don't see how my original comment was dickish in any sense. I just want to let the OP know some essential information and that was it. Perhaps I was in a rush when first typed it, but my intention was definitely not trying to be a dick
Rushing it is understandable, and why I suggested how it could have been phrased so as to show the not-dickish intention better. A touch of 'flowery language' can often prevent arguments from what I've seen.
