Rip?

Hey,

I just wanted to know which skin exactly mine is a rip of. It's called Britney - USA and the CID is 102174. I looked through all your Britney skins and I didn't see one that looked alike. Sure, a few people have the same picture - but on a different background. And just about all the Britney pictures are on different skins like five times each. At least mine's somewhat different. Maybe you should just place a ban on all Britney skins since by now all the pictures have been used - its not fair to just pick one and start now. Anyway, could you tell me what you want me to change so you can publish it?

Thanks
-Dan

This really should have been posted here.

Cant really be 100% sure why it was removed, but there are a heap of britney skins around....It's most likely you've chosen a picture already used...

Avoid skins that already have been done by someone else, be it in a slightly different form. For example, there are more than enough skins of Homer’s brain, we don’t need any more.
I denied that skin, that picture has already been used many times. Try something original.

But if what Fast-Track says is true, then why weren't all the other skins using the same pics denied?

The sheer number of britney skins makes it hard to tell which pics havent been used.

If one is instantly recognisable as already being done then it will most likely be denied, unless it has some customisation or other redeeming quality that sets it apart from the other skinner.exe skins.
