No thank you from Lots of Skins. A thank you would have been nice.

Seems to me the nice thing to do would have been to send a thank you seeing that they were receiving a benefit from the skinners effrot regardless of whether they received a preview or not. After all, it really wasn't a matter of pre-approval as it was the skinners choice of whom they represented. If they hadn't of been chosen, they wouldn't have reaped any benefit. Anyway, my opinion, and I was curious what the answer might reveal.

Jark thanked me and made the skin a daily deviation at deviantart. He also commented on the skin itself.

I think most sites thanked the skinners who represented them.
As for the approval, the way I see it myself, you are making a skin in the name of a site, therefore, it affects their image.
So, for example, Velocityart would have legitimate reason to not want me to represent them with a skin they disagree with (for example if the skin used porno or violence, or if they just thought if was just too ugly.
Of course,t hat's the way I personnaly see it.

In my eyes, common politeness and decency had 2 parts:
- the skinner should show the skin to the site it represent first
- the site should thank the skinner

Not everyone can agree, but that's how I see it.

I did not submit any previews. I think maybe I should have, but no harm done. I made a few bucks for DA and Jark posted some nice comments on my skins. Next time, however, I will.

chazy appreciated all my efforts for LOS so much, he fired me for joining the admin staff at Skinbase. Now that's gratitude!
