Frankendolling?

Frankendolling is when you take one part of a base or doll and attatch it to another piece to make your own..."art" This is definately not allowed, not only did you rip apart someones hard work, but this is also a form of copying. Frankendolling is easy to be spotted and can result in bad things.

Tracing?

Tracing is when you pick up a piece and take it into some graphic editing software such as Photoshop, OpenCanvas, or even MSPaint and...well trace over the image to make your own. You did not make the image so redistributing it saying you did is not allowed. There is an exception though, If you have written permission from the original artist. Simply state below the piece, "I have permission from ---artists name--- to trace and post this piece" But be prepared to show the permission to an admin or mod if questioned. The original artist may be contacted as well to prove you are correct. Please only do this for bases, tracing anything else is not allowed.

This is when someone posts a doll or something without crediting the base maker or whatever. Please always credit your sourses, even if you made the base yourself. This also is a way to promote yourself. If someone forgets credit, please kindly remind them to do so.
