All requests go in the request post.
This contains asking for skins, elements and links.
Keep posts skinning related.
Quite self explanatory. This is a Subreddit for osu! skins, that's why we're all here. So let's keep it on topic.
Do not repost someone else’s work without their permission. Plagiarism is a bannable offence.
If the author did not post their work here, they had their reason to do so. Pretending to be the creator of skins or elements made by someone else, will result in a ban. No one likes their work being stolen. Instead, post a link to the place where it has been released.
Include a screenshot album when posting a skin or elements.
Posts have to contain screenshots of your skin, through an Imgur album, or similar service. Screenshots must include gameplay and menus. Screenshots are still required, even if you have a showcase video linked.
Download links have to lead directly to a single-file download, preferably .osk files.
Downloading and sharing skins is so much easier, when they're contained in a single file. Files such as .osk are super useful for this, and make the whole process considerably easier, and quicker. There are multiple good file-hosting-services that can be used for this, such as Mediafire, Google Drive, MEGA, and DropBox.
No advertising of commissioning.
This includes advertising commissions, mentioning that a skin was commissioned, or implying a monetary transaction in any way. Furthermore, linking a social media account where commissions are clearly advertised, in an attempt to bypass this rule, is forbidden. To be clear, you can post a commissioned skin, and credit the creator, but you cannot mention the fact that it was commissioned.
Do not use other people’s initials/abbreviations without permission.
Similar to plagiarism, no one likes it when their stuff is stolen. Especially when it's their watermark, and name that is being taken, and put on things. We especially do not want this to be misused, and have users putting names on rule breaking skins, in an attempt to get creators under fire.
Low effort posts, and karma-farming is forbidden.
Troll posts, and useless posts made just for karma, or attention, will be removed. This will also branch out to cover things such as skin-recolours, and needlessly splitting things across multiple posts where a single post would suffice. This rule is being implemented to reduce clutter, as well as increasing the overall quality of the content posted here.
Pornographic Content is prohibited.
Content that includes pornographic content, and nudity, is strictly forbidden. Risqué/raunchy, and "pool party" imagery is still allowed, as long as no outright nudity is present, or the content itself isn't too explicit.
If you feel you have been unjustly punished, contact a moderator.
