make sure you explain very clearly what a screenshot is (and isn't)

we still get some (not as many as used to) that download a screenshot, apparently set it as a wall, and can't figure out why the apps shown in the shot don't work when they click on them

no, I'm not kidding....

I knew that was a bad metaphor. I just knew it and said it anyway.

for those who aren't familiar with the graphics programs they may have, you might also mention the Capture Docklet (if they have od free/pluss which will take the shot and drop it in a folder for them to upload when ready

This is the right stuff needed for a beginner!

 <---@ Fred--->

then I'm guessing there should also be a 'PPE' equivalent?... like 'snot slinger award'?

That really blows!

My 2 cents (but it may go against the grain)..

I don't think ID was referring to a separate class just for screen shooting...

If that were done, you'd have people clamoring, petitioning, bitching and moaning for a separate class for their 'field of expertise' - those that only do bootskins or only walls, or only individual icons, etc, etc etc, would want a separate class

I think we should have a separate class for forum whores like me and since I'm a Troll - I need a separate subclass

Being a Troll, I have a natural tendency to bait people - though I've worked hard at not baiting too much here, since I like this place and the people (and frogboy came close to threatening me with 'hash marking' some years back) - if we have separate classes then we need one for trolls and baiting... that way I can attain my own personal goal of "Master Baiter"

I get the feeling the separate class referred to is a class for those of us they feel who contribute and should be promoted, but not a 'skinners' per se

While I appreciate the promotions I have received, I was not comfortable with came with them - technically I could create crap for any gallery, submit it and it would bypass moderation - (if I every figure out how to make anything on my own I want it thoroughly moderated) - yet I only have one item in my gallery - and it really belongs to DaRkFuSsioOn (KkoNne) - I only collaborated - my promotions came from trying to help out in the forums and the old news groups

I guess what I'm trying to say is:

one the one hand - - there should be a separate ranking for us nonskinners and since skinners are the ones that create what we use, they are the only ones who should attain a rank of Master

on the other hand - - asking for a specific separate class for something such as 'screen shots' is kinda like skinners complaining about moderation/ratings/downloads - it's just asking on a different track

think about it

like careful placement to keep a wall from being extracted from the shot

Anyone sniping would soon know about this as any such shot is rejected by the mods except for the ones in which the background is your own creation eg. Summer Morning

Whachu talkin' 'bout Fred?

I was laughin' with you dawg, so turn that frown right-side up!
