Thanks to all of your for replying.

@ Ouma: 'Dislike' was the nice way of saying it. Normally, the 'h' word is being used :)

@ Nats: I know, it indeed is sad.

@ Sana: 🤗Thank you!

-------

Friends, if anyone 'inspires' you, please atleast add the line 'inspired by...', before others PM and request you to do so.

It is indeed sad to hear this. Though I may not post too often, I have been visiting this forum quite often because I was thinking of opening a gallery or a shop.

Khushi, I agree with the points you have raised. I would like to mention a few things, though.

I think some members need to take the 'copying' part a little lightly. Rotating a picture by a certain degree, or putting a couple pictures in a circle is not copying. It's not. Copying is much more than that. Besides a whole lot of us have shared tutorials how to do certain things that we do in our own way. So we need to lighten up on that. Besides, as a siggy maker myself, I believe that you are always inspired by ANY and I repeat any siggies/avis you ever see. No matter if you do it intentionally or unintentionally but sometimes something about a particular siggy just stays in your mind and you do it when you make your own creation. So, my request is that please calm down. Although I know I would also feel horrible if my work is copied, I have to say that much of the time copying is not the way to describe. Inspired, yeah maybe.

Secondly, creativity is what it stands for. It means maybe taking the basics, you go in all directions and explore your likes/dislikes and give your color to your creations. Copying others' ideas just defeats the purpose.

Now coming to bashing... I am extremely disappointed to hear that. Ever since I have joined IF I have seen it (and now am a part of it) as a big family. Even though at times we disagree or get mad with each other we take subtle ways to express that. Maybe approaching the person and saying what disturbs you in 'mild' language... not by saying how much I 'hate' you or dislike you. It's sad that some people have done that.... It really is. I am even more disappointed to hear that people have actually attacked the Dev Team members. Just think about how much time they dedicate out of their lives to keep the forums lively... Is this the way to pay them back? I really don't think so. If one can't say a thank you for their efforts, he/she doesn't have a right to hurt their feelings and call them names either.

Lastly, I am sorry if I sounded harsh or rude but had to get that out of me 😳

A BIG hug to all three Dev Team members of A & S S! 🤗🤗🤗

I had a little change of perspective in the last few days. Here is something for anyone that is hurt by the issue of copying -- http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=831046&T PN=1

Bashing...
something that is going way to far. attacking/bashing the dev team members who are simply doing the duty isnt the solution. no matter how hurt you might be, sadness and anger can be expressed differently. but those who have bashed...learn from this experience and move on learning to say how you feel without attack. this is not a sermon of mine to say im some goody-goody gumdrop. i am talking from my own experiences, so im penning down my heart right now. i learnt my mistakes and have moved on. so please, just think about this situation. how would you feel if you were trying to help people, and all of a sudden they syart bashing you, "yelling" at you, calling you names, challenging you. how would that make you feel? this is a tv serial forum, so im sure all of you watch some serial right? you see them all the time, misunderstandings where the good hearted is doubted and left in pain. this isnt a fake scenario, but a true reality. what if you were only standing up for truth, and all you got back was more bashing, and people hating on you? thinking about it just makes you crazy right? well experiencing this isnt even close to just being an outside person. so when the dev team members are trying to do their duty, please dont bash them...think and respond. its the best thing to do. im only in this topic because of the bashing issue which is gone a little over-edge. the other two topics here dont matter to be anymore. seriously! i stopped posting here without saying a word, i didnt want to create some hungama. i even ignored my friends PMs asking why i left. im happier now. so those who are on the verge of leaving cause of this issue...just dont. we are all smart, and we can move on without leaving a grudge on anyone and correcting our mistakes instead if bashing.

thanks
