Can someone show me where this part is in the rules..? I am missing it. Thanks.

The applicable phrase is highlighted below, from the Standard Rules:

You May:
• use images that do not meet the source or date requirements as textures in your entry if they function specifically as textures and not to circumvent other rules.

Inserting one image into selected parts of another clearly falls into the category of "composite image" -- perhaps it is more obvious of you think of a "texture" as the underlying medium onto which a painting is made; you don't find paintings where part is painted onto canvas, and another part onto paper.

Late to the game. I'm wondering if anyone consulted with Henk-Jan about possibly recording his "unofficial" spreadsheet differently. Larry did not seem to be complaining.

Thanks for the concern Penny. I’m sure Henk will get around to it. No complaints from me. Everyone has been more than fair.

I hope this is true, specifically the precedent of changing an SC decision because ribbon chasers were complaining about it.

Hi Don,
Your opinion is appreciated. What I think you are trying to say is that you do not agree with the decision by Bear to reverse a DQ because of an honest mistake. Is it the fact that a ribbon was involved the problem for you?

Sorry, my feeling is that rules are rules. My concern is that DPC keeps them intact. What I meant was that maybe since the Points and Ribbon race is "unofficial", maybe that could have been the only thing that changed. Like I said, I was late to the party.
You have only been calm and composed about this and thank you for that, This is only a virtual ribbon race after all.

Ribbon chasing had nothing to do with this. The issue is that Larry asked for SC opinion well before rollover and I was the one that responded, telling him the image would be fine as submitted. So he submitted in good faith. It didn't/doesn't feel right, in this specific instance, to punish Larry for his "transgression" since he had been told there was no transgression, and had he been informed otherwise he's he'd have easily been able to "fix" the image.

A further issue is that it was a split vote on DQ, and that I actually did not remember having previously OK'd it, so I moved into alignment with the majority and voted to DQ. Had I realized/remembered that I'd already vetted the image, then things would have proceeded differently.

On another site on which I enter challenges (blasphemy?) all entries have to pass validation before acceptance. I imagine that a lot of work is involved for someone.

As someone who has been DQ'd banned and banished multiple times, even for very little, I must say, it is good to see they can admit they were wrong and do something about it. Fair play to you.

I feel for both sides on this. It sounds like Lawrence should have sent more information as to what exactly was done. Until we pay the SC more (or even something) they shouldn't have to go dig for info.

However, he also thought that he had received an ok.

I like this site.

I like that people are looking out for each other.

And I like that logic and thoughtfulness are applied to everything.

They may not always go the way we want. (seriously!?!? This was obviously existing artwork!!! )

But we can ALWAYS know that we are listened to and that decisions are made to the best of their ability!

Three cheers for the SC!!

I only have one ribbon, and very little prospect of getting more, so they don't cause me much of a problem.

I see the entry is restored and put it back to #1 along with the other #1.
