Traced vectors
About traced vectors - from now on we won't be accepting them.
The beginning of the new season sparked a surge of traced vectors. They aren't "bad", but most of the time they aren't really intresting, and these who trace them put no thought, no imagination, and not even a spark of originality to them. They might be a good excercise to get used to programs like Inkscape, and they might be useful for some people who assemble them into comics, or something like that, but it's nothing else, really.
Obviously, this goes for "pretending-to-be-vectors" as well.
There are other groups who accept, and collect them, e.g.
- it's exactly what it says on the tin
- only elements of backgrounds
- vectors made in ponyscape only
- "Elite club"
- original vectors only
Also, it doesn't help that some people say that tracing is art theft.
About screenshots...
I know that a majority of you is aware of that, but...
Simply speaking, submitting screenshots is art theft.
It applies to edited screenshots as well.
So, if you submit a screenshot, expect a ban per one strike, you're out rule. I know it's not a big punishment - this group is just one of many - but be aware of the possible result of your action.
Speaking of this, I'd like to clarify some misconceptions I encountered while working in this group.
1. If you buy a DVD with the show, and then you take a screenshot it DOESN'T make you the owner of this screenshot, and doesn't give you any copyrights/rights to earn on it etc.
2. If you assemble screenshots into a comic, it doesn't change the fact that they are screenshots. They don't stop being screenshots just because you put them together in MS Paint (or Gimp or any program you use).
3. Yes, it's easy to recognize a screenshot, especially when it's used together with elements added by someone.
4. It's still a sin to submit an edited screenshot.
And about the pony creator
Submitting ponies created in Pony Creator is pretty much an equivalent of submitting a screenshot.
Yes, it might be an exaggerated interpretation, but the pony creator is not allowed here nonetheless. Because Pony Creator is a game.

If any traced vector, screenshot, or pony creator picture slips through the moderation, then, well, mishaps sometimes happen, but it doesn't change anything in this group's policy.

Spike folder created
In a ground-breaking move, I decided to create a new separate folder for Spike... which means that Spike art will now be accepted on its own, which should have been a thing since forever but at the start this group didn't accept Spike's art alone and it's just stayed this way. And since the old founder is gone, I guess I can change that (weird) rule.'

I know the group hasn't been very active and that many submissions are expiring but well, I don't really feel like going through submissions (and dealing with possible drama after anything is declined... I'm too old, nihilistic
A new founder
A (former now) founder of this group decided to change her account, and left this group as well, leaving me in charge from now on. She asked me to inform you about this. Let's hope she will find more peace on her new account (She didn't say what her new account is)
Basically, nothing will change because of that - group will be working as it's been working so far.

New Mods
We have two new mods in the group.
Gray--Day (https://www.deviantart.com/gray--day) and TwilightIsMagic (https://www.deviantart.com/twilightismagic) joined the team.
!Gray--Day (https://www.deviantart.com/gray--day) (Gray--Day) is a comic artist well-known for his crossover comics.
:icontwilightismagic: (TwilightIsMagic) is an avid watcher and commenter, who will be most likely responsible for finding nice pictures to put in the group's galleries.
Give them a warm welcome. :iconrarityclapplz:
On a side note, the last admin we announced - :icondoggie31: - apparently wasn't supposed to be an admin. She simply found out that our system had a hole. Accidentally, for quite some time, it was enough to request being a co-founder in order to become o
