How do I undo an upload, one I did not have permission for?

Because now I cannot upload anything until I get permission...which I can't get a hold of the person...

Monday, April 7, 2008 by Deganu | Discussion: Permissions

So, I tried to upload a longonstudio vista file which had a link at the bottom. On my own computer was all I was planning on using it on, but I accidentally clicked it to upload when I meant another. Now the site will not accept anything I upload until I get permission, but I would rather just not try to upload that logon, and only upload the ones I have made or have permission for. Can I delete the attempt or how do I get myself out of this situation. As a side note, I dont really know how to upload with permissions, so I have tried to avoid anything I havent made...but I would like to know, so that I can have the link to my own website on the image and give permission without it getting rejected for having a link on it...if possible...i hope that made sense.... and thanks for a speedy reply...I hope... -Zea (deganu)

I believe you can delete the skin you want to get rid of.

As far as uploading with permission, all you have to do is include the permission with the skin in a zip file.

You don't get rejected for putting a link in the notes area of a skin.

the skin I accidentally uploaded isnt in my skins area, they never put it up, but I am still not allowed to upload anything until I fix it....

Having one skin in moderation will not stop you from uploading another. You could PM a moderator about the skin in question, or maybe one will stop by this thread.

I was having uploading troubles earlier today, maybe you are having the same problem? What happens when you try to upload something?

It says upload failed recently, and before that they would spend a few minutes in moderation, then be rejected, and trust me, its not for lack of awesomeness. Then I get an email saying I need permissions for this one that I tried to upload previously, which is no longer in moderation and that until I do all attempted uploads will be rejected, even if they are mine...

You must provide proof on your FUTURE submissions.  Because you previously uploaded questionable work, we require that you provide some sort of proof or assertion that your future uploads are in fact your own.

Send a PM to the moderator that sent you the email.

How do I provide proof? I do not understand how that works.

Deganu, the easiest way is to email or pm the artist asking for permission. If they send permission, copy it and upload it with the work you are submitting. Just include it in the ZIP file.....

So what, is it just a text file saying "I blah give deganu permission to use blah" included in the uploaded zip file?

The text of the permission email with headers so mods can check with the artist if needed

is there an example somewhere I can look at, because I dont think I am getting it. Do you mean a header with their name, and email?

You email asking for permission . .then reply back "OK.  Copy and  paste either an image of that exchange into a text file or a jpg.  Put it in the zip of your submission.

If it is your own image, upload it.
If you describe how you made it that may help

And one more question, what if it is an image that is all over the internet at places such as a freebackground website?

If someone made it, then you have to get permission. The original author still retains the copyrights and distribution rights. However, there are stock image sites that don't require permission per-say, but still have usage rules.

Upload it.
But . . .
  1. make sure it's formatted for it's proper use.  (Don't upload photo dimensions as wallpaper)
  2. only upload it if you really and truly think it makes a good wall/logon/etc.  No one wants to use a picture of Aunt Sally on vacation
  3. make sure it really is your work.  Once you upload someone else's as your own you can expect a bit more scrutiny
