Rules
Please be advised that unless you can provide a valid crystal check link, all pets will be judged and processed by current crystal check standards.
This has always been the case, but I've had an increasing number of rejections and resubmission of grandfathered pets, and wanted to nudge this back into memory as it not only helps me, but helps you get your customs back faster.
I would also like to remind everyone that linking previously created pets - especially those with no origin field - is not considered as proof of a design's eligibility to be made due to situations such as the December queue push.
Thank you for your time =)

NOTHING has changed, Tequila Mockingbird (#64472). This was always an option. Eve is just reminding us so that if we would like to provide that for her reference, we can. I'm wondering if Eveglori has access to Graymare's old database of past crystal checks, because if not, that would be why grandfather (read: lines that have been submitted before) designs still need to be checked by her now.

If I put a design through CC and it comes back Blue, and I sell 100 PSD uses of it with my thread telling people it is Blue, and then people submit theirs with a Blue custom maker and they get rejected - it sounds like the ONLY way to make it work for Blue is if all those 100 people ask me for my link to the original CC. This is not how it was previously as far as I know. I have never needed to do this nor have I heard of anyone needing to do this, and holy crap I would go nuts if I were a popular artist with lots of uses sold, and everyone has to come back to me to get a link @__@

ohhh, I see, I misunderstoood what you first wrote. I think. I don't remember. I'm kinda out of it. But with more thinking.. I see nothing changed rules/procedure wise technically... but the demand for cc links could still change? If it is as bad of a problem as a news post kinda hints at?? Because if people actually start doing the link thing and needing links, it might cause an issue with some artist's / base sellers if it was one of their bases that was a grandfather'd one and still has submissions of said base(s) going through the queue? As it seems like enough people are not getting said link to warrant a news notice so that makes it seem like a lot of rejections are possibly due to this? and so while nothing has changed, people are consistently not doing the right thing and have not being doing the right thing consistently... so a change in how *some* people submitting things (depending on the thing) is being requested here, while there is no change in the rules or how things are done from the staff side as you said. I think that is why this news post was made? Because people keep making the same mistake over and over and it is getting to be an issue and delaying things? The last thing the queue needs is a lot of unnecessary crystal checks being done... Of course, I'm not sure how long ago the grandfathering thing happened and the new crystal check methodology came to play. If it was a long time ago..That would limit the amount of crystal checks this would affect... so nevermind in that case, lol.

I think in that case you would just have to show Eve once? Like...I don't think she sees the design and then just throws out the crystal check forever....Gray kept a database of past crystal checks so I would assume Eve would as well for ease of accepting because unless you keep a database you literally have to check almost EVERY custom as it comes through even if you've seen the lines before (but maybe forgot what color it was accepted at before)?
Also that could have a ton of room for human error if 1-2% can change something from 49% to 51%, since that is basically a couple of pixels and could differ from check to check if she rechecked every design every time she had to accept something.

Uh woooow.
So a previously submitted pet under the legacy rules does not count? And more than just a few pets submitted under those lines? This is awful. Absolutely awful. Percentages have done nothing but get ruled higher and higher with each admin change and that's exactly what's going to happen if we crystal check these old designs for you. A submitted pet or five should be proof enough. I've never quite been the fan of you though. Oh well.

I know that the PSDs submitted to the Edit Repository for free use are all crystal checked before they are added and can be searched by type of creator.
It came up in the No Melo May thread, so if you are using one of the free PSDs from there it has already been checked.

I don't remember exactly what I said.. but I was speaking hypothetically... I think mostly about PSDs you have to get from users... On another note.. I could have sworn some had not crystal checked then with blue or gold with a question mark at the end.. in the notes.. O.o
But I might be thinking of psds I saw in a thread..
I have yet to buy a PSD and I've been waiting on my only editted submission for like 3 weeks now... which /was/ a free edit one.. but it was a mix and match and I didn't use all the options so I took a stab with a bronze orb... while it was ruled blue with everything...maybe that is why it is taking so long /shrug but in any case, I'm really new to the process soooo a lot of my talking was hypothetically.
I don't really care about this notice/ruling/what have you to be honest as it has yet to personally affect me and I will keep it mind for sure if it does, but I was just giving my two cents because of how I perceived a concern someone had... But I wasn't trying to get seriously involved in a discussion in the end as now it seems to be going over my head x_X.. and I don't really care enough about the issue to get too involved either, I'm just a very inquisitive/curious type who carries a lot of change ("two cents"s) , don't mind me, lol ^^;;;
(also, oOOoo, the beginning of your user id number is 666. S-satan child! lol, which you've probably noticed forever ago but I thought to point it out (again) because idk. haha. I guess there's like 100 of you at least then. so many satan childrens...)

Tequila Mockingbird (#64472) Oh it's fine ^ ^ It came up in the No Melo May project because a number of people were putting "don't know what %, or not sure of crystal" as the note, which can not be edited by the people who do the cehcking. But all psd's are checked and sorted appropriately by the staff who is in charge, no matter what the person who entered it put as their note.
