Anyone anyone?

I would like to get challenged....So..Anyone, please challenge me. i don't care what it is...as long as it's not this grunge crap

ok...not me for one, and u come in here with your first post as a challenge? sorry that just bothers me

locomotive or something, read the rules of these pixel wars...

perhaps post some of your art work, so we can see what you got first, and maybe read some of the rules too

It doesn't say I can't make challenges only have 1 post, or that my first post can't be a challenge. Perhaps you guys should reread them? It says that "votes from people with 1 or 2 posts" won't count. However, I'll be happy to post some of my stuff. I must warn you though, I haven't made anything new in about 3 years.

read the new rules, just for you...

Ok...I'm not going to argue, but isn't that kind of silly? I mean seriously, what is the point? What difference does it make if I have 2 posts or 300? Does that make me any better at photoshop?

Ok for the sake of starting me on the road to postings and such, I have posted a couple of my images in the DigitalArts area if you are interested.

There are several reasons we don't want people that just joined to challenge...

1. We don't know you... We've never seen your work. Most people will not challenge someone if they have never seen their work. An experienced person does not want to challenge a newbie, and a newbie does not want to challenge a veteran.

2.It ends up causing total chaos in the challenge forum, with duplicated posts, and spamming because generally new people are not used to the way we do things here. Some other forums are much less strict and let people spam the board, make duplicate posts, etc. That is not tolerated here, and it takes a while for people to become civilized and realize that. So setting a limit on posts makes them stick around a while and learn how things work before they jump in and challenge people.

3. People with only 1 post may just come in here and post a challenge, then disappear after the mods put a lot of time and energy into making a good challenge. When they have a few posts under their belt and a little investment in their time, they are usually more likely to stick around and finish a challenge.

4. It's the rules.

A delightful and much appreciated response. Thank you very much. It does make sense when put in that way, and I'm sorry if I ruffled any feathers. However with such ambigous replies that seemed to be snobish, I hope you could understand my initial response. Thank you again for the clarification, and I will try to invest a little time and experience before asking for a challenge.
