The decision for the final twelve was hard to make. We had a lot of good applications submitted, in which we had to struggle to choose the top 12.

20 applications were sent in. Out of these 20, only the 12 that we felt would work hard for this competition, and give us what we are looking for. Although we did have problems with some. Where the questions where answered flawlessly, and the application shot wasn't as great, or vise versa.

So, here are our final 12 contestants, in no particular order.

And there they are, our final twelve!!! Congratulations to you all for making it through applications. From here on out, you will have to take every assignment serious. Show us you want to be, Tyrias Top Superstar!

Screenshot Expo Forums Rules - PLEASE READ before POSTING!

User notes will be added against you if you don't follow these rules! No exceptions!

The 3 Strikes System:

When any of the below rules are broken, you will receive a strike against your username. The system works like this:

1st Strike - People will be warned via a PM or a thread warning + (if necessary, close or soft-delete of their post or thread)
2nd Strike - Addition warning via PM + (if necessary, thread close + soft-delete)
3rd Strike - 1-3 Day Ban without warning

All incidents are documented! So don't think your not being watched.

General Guidelines:

No character names can be displayed in images, unless premission is given, or its your own character
All posts are subject to the rules of the Guild Wars Guru forum guidlines.
Swearing in images are not allowed, make sure to censor them. The whole word must be censored, not just part of it.

Image Posting: (MOST IMPORTANT RULE)

Images must be no larger then 800 x 600. If they are then please do the following:

Please convert images to .jpeg if possible. Images that are over 600KB in size will be converted to URL links or deleted.

Thumbnails, such as the ones provided by ImageShack are recommended for all images.

General Chatting within Threads - NOT ALLOWED!:

This is a forum, not a chat room! Don't use it as such. This also falls under spamming! (See below)
Please don't use threads as a kind of chat-room. If you wish to discuss random stuff then please use forum PMs, e-mail or chat in-game if you like. Not in the thread.
Chat room talk / spam will be deleted.

Replying to Posts + Spamming:

The GWG forum rules on spamming are very clear:

Quote:

5. No Spamming

Post count - no matter how impressive a high number might look - is irrelevant here. Therefore, please do not spam these forums, or such posts will be deleted. To determine whether or not your post can be considered as spam, ask, "does this add to or advance the thread in a constructive way." If you answer, "yes," then chances are, you're good to go. Examples of spam posts include: “Yeah me too," "lol”, “that’s what I wanted to say…,” “what the guy above said…”, etc.

Please keep all replies tasteful. Swearing, flaming, crude comments, pointless comments will not be tolerated!

+1 post count spam is not encouraged! Mods actively found themselves deleting this kind of spam from a number of the Screenshot threads. The "Post your Character" threads in particular. The following clearly explains the differences between a comment/chat and a spam/+1 post:

Quote:

Posts that are impolite, crude, offensive, or otherwise failing to reflect on the thread or forum in a positive manner will be deleted as spam.

Furthermore posts that fail to contribute to discussion in a meaningful way or are intended to draw attention away from the original subject will also be deleted as spam!

Don't post just for the sake of adding +1 to your post count. Post counts aren't important on this forum.

KEEP ON TOPIC! If its a weapon thread, don't discuss armour. If it's a armor thread don't discuss farming, titles, chest running or weapons!

We don't encourage people to pointless go about posting meaningless psychobabble for sake of just increasing their post count. Your spam will be deleted and noted, so don't do it!

Quote:

We reserve the right to edit posts for format, content, or clarity, without notice. However, we will not intentionally change the substance of what anyone says, and will inform you if we make any substantial changes. Posting meaningless deranged psychobabble with no substantial merit or posts that do not contribute to the thread discussion will more than likely be deleted without notice.

Any post which violates civilized standards of decency or good conduct will be deleted immediately and without any further notice. Repeat offenders will be temporarily or permanently banned.

Screenshot Requests within Threads:

Please don't request screenshots. We have a whole sub-forum for that here:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/f...play.php?f=245

Please discuss the thread topic, but requests for screenshot should be made in the forum above.

Reporting Spam and other Rule Breaking:

If you see a rule-breaker, don't hesitate to use the report feature

located at the bottom left of each post.

Closing Large Threads:

Like what is done in Off-topic, we plan to close one by one the large Post Your ____ threads and recreate them from scratch after 1k posts.

Older threads will be added to a archive list on the forum sticky of course and the new threads would replace them in the main list of threads.
____________________________________________

As with the other contest threads, these rules will be lax in terms of the non picture posts, but please keep it civil.
