Only I’m Allowed To Direct-Link, Foo’

When you’re ordering people to follow these badly written rules:

1. Don’t direct link. Seriously, don’t waiste my bandwidth, or yeah. If something has been direct linked, I will delete it without warning and change its location, that way you’ll lose the image.
2. Don’t steal, trade, etc. Don’t claim these as your own. Not joking!
3. Don’t edit. Pieriod.
4. Don’t redistribute. These things are to be on trymegraphics.com and trymegraphics.com ONLY!!
5. Don’t edit codes if I have supplied you with them. I can just find out by viewing the source, it’s not hard.

(emphasis my own)

…the least you can bloody do is not direct-link my stuff. Hell, I distribute this shit under the GPL so you guys can do what you like with it and yet there’s still always one that has to take advantage.

PS. Your tutorials suck.

You didnt have to tgo shove it on everyone else. Gesh leave the poor girl alone. better yet go to church, no one is perfect but common since would of told you to email her. I dont know but if you think you are better then her i dont think so. if her spelling is horriable, then why are you there.

I do slightly agree with Karmen, it’s a little mean that the majority of people on this website are laughing at her website, people are always constantly trying to find the bad things about websites. I don’t want to pull out the ‘age card’, but yeah she’s 13, she has a lot to learn but people laughing at her bad spelling and saying her layout is horrible would probably put her confidence in webdesigning down. I have seen better 13 year old webdesigners out there but not every is that talented at that age, atleast the girl has grasped the main things. Her attitiude does sound a bit bad but I’m sure she will understand what ‘not to do in the webdesigning world’ someday.

@ Chelsea: what’s so funny with saying ‘ya’ll’?

@Karmen: Oh boo whoo. This is the Internet, not a pat-on-the-back committee. Speaking of church, no thanks. I will not be going to church anytime soon. You have not “saved” me. I think I rather be saved from piss poor “web developers”, such as yourself.

Yes I am being harsh, but as a professional web designer I feel rather offended that your little friend is trying to charge people for such half-arsed services. If she were a plumber, she’d be a “cowboy”. Like it is within your right to whine about how mean we are, it is within our right to critisise a website. If you don’t like it, ignore it. Simple.

@Jabed: Okay, she’s young and starting out and the like, but does that give her a right to be exempt from critisism? No. Critisism is a good thing and hopefully she will take good advice on board and improve. Should she be charging people for graphics and advertising space? No, I don’t think she should.

How old exactly are the lot of you?

The girl is thirteen, and new to webdesign, so stop criticizing her website the way you are. Sure, perhaps some things coule be improved on - but I’ve yet to find a website that’s absolutely perfect in every way.

Critism is a nice thing when you ask for it - “Hey, I made a new graphic, what do you think? I’d love some good c/c.” - but I don’t see her asking for criticism.

I’m never one to use age as an excuse usually, but come ON people. She’s thirteen. She’s at the years where everything that happens will decide who she is as an adult. Making fun of her like this isn’t going to help her confidence or chances of becoming a great person very much.

Jem, here’s a tip: next time someone does something you don’t approve of, try contacting them about it before posting all about it on your website. Mistakes are made. Give people a chance to correct them before you immaturely insult them to everybody.

She denies direct linking, claiming it was just a credit link.
But, I do suppose Jem knows what direct linking is.

People who steal, direct link, lie, etc… on the Internet should be exposed.
One can blog about what she/her ate for dinner…
But, bandwidth theft is off limits?

If you politely email someone who has wronged you.
Get help. Passive aggressiveness is not healthy.

I’m annoyed by the people defending this girl.

Who cares about her age? There are people younger than her on the internet with somewhat decent and legible websites. Also, if you’re using the inexperienced excuse, how dare she even take money in exchange for her crap designs? She’s a crook. So, not only does she steal bandwidth but she robs people of their money too.

Not to mention the fact she denies doing something she clearly did, as I saw the page before she removed the content. She direct linked to a file on Jem’s server and that means she was stealing bandwidth. Let’s add liar to the list of descriptors about this person.

Then she has the “OMGZ don’t steal!” on her rules page when she herself has clearly stolen images for her masterpieces. Now adding hypocrite to this list.

I don’t know about you, but when I was her age I knew better than do to those things. She gets zero sympathy from me and deserves all the flack she is getting.

I do think that charging people for graphics using stolen photographs is unacceptable, as she doesn’t seem to have had that much experience in making graphics, as well as infringing the copyright laws.
As for the grammar, there’s always spellcheck?
