APA references preferrably.

F[font=verdana]u[/font]ck it, it's better than what it originally was.

Haha, thanks Jom. :)

I feel honour-bound to explain a few things:

Essays should almost always be in third-person, unless you are writing your 8th grade speech for class president, or are doing a Bachelor of Arts *s******* at University. Third-person is: "Riva schooled Hbp and Mappy on third-person in an extremely brutal way".
First-person is: "LOL I AM QUEER".

See the difference?

And abstracts are so vital to the essay process. It's not meant to be easy to get a big avatar, so I think Orlando's idea is a good one. If you post an essay with the intention of wheedling a large avatar, either Vince, Jom or I will check over it. If we find it unsatisfactory, we'll give you one chance to edit it. Then if it is still not up to scratch, it's a 3 day holiday to Bantown flying Mod Airlines return.

I'm just doing this because I don't want the forum to end up being chockers with big avatars again. Also: I think a 140x140 limit for the essay-won avatars might be in order.

lol srs avataring

Not necessarily, it depends on the circumstance. All my essays in my Mass. Comm class are encouraged to be written in the first person. Then again I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts *s*******

That all seems fitting.

The widest I will go for avatars is 170 because it doesn't break the page. However, if its length is extremely clunky, I'm going to ask to cut it down. Something like 128 x 170 is nice for essays.

Otherwise, I agree with my comrades. In Soviet MX, bans mod you!

hey i can say that too because I'm mexican

:I

har soviet brothers har

[b][color=deepskyblue]FINE, comrades will give way to amigos. In MXico, mods taco you![/b][/color]

Do I have to write and essay for width of 112 and a height of 284?

You have to write an essay for any non-standard avatar.

But you guys dont even like most of the essays and still hand out avatars, why should I bother?

Cuz I really hate writing essays cant anythign else suffice? :(

This is absolutely hilarious. The essay thing.

It really just seems like it's a pain in the *** for the mods to give people big avatars, so they're making sure it's a pain in the *** to get them.

It's a fair trade.

We're also teaching you life skills, with regards to essays, citing sources, abstracts, you guys really ought to be thanking us but meh.

Ang: No essay, abstract and sources, no avatar.

It's not hard at all. ModCP > Search for the User > Edit their Avatar with a URL. It's just not their job, that's all.

Oh well I hate you Tyler, did you ever think of that?

No, for me at least, it's "what on earth makes you more special than the average user who is stuck with a 70x70?" If you write an essay about why you deserve one I have an answer to my question of why you deserve preferential treatment.

Also, essays remind me of NPC 9_9

You kids have it so easy; he was extremely tough on people.

do you think you guys could do something about that? it comes up everytime i enter a recent dig on my profile.

This isn't the place to ask about that.

It's a known bug; however, use the Sputnikmusic forum to inquire about Sputnikmusic-related issues, please. Thanks.

my bad. :(

Can I ask a question?

ask the question and don't ask if you can ask a question..

What?

Once we have written our essay/abstract, do we get resonable big avatar choices for life, or do we need to write another one for each avatar change/request?

wow

you got your avatar 2-3days ago and now you wanna change it?
or do you just ask...?

Just a question. I love my avatar.

i love mine too... but i had to ask riva 10x until he gave it to me... since that time i sooo gratful to riva :)

i will never change this avatar that fast... i love it to death :D
