To address all the comments posted above,
I don't see any issue notifying the SharkBrew team a month in advance informing them I won't be continuing the awards.
Don't doubt that creating the awards might have possibly increased interest towards my store, but I simply don't believe it's been as 'beneficial' as it might appear.
To put in perspective, I've achieved over 100K views onto my website according to analytics. On further study, it appeared less than 3% was directed from SharkBrew.
Obviously, I appreciated the terms for the promotion via the topic on the basis of the graphics provided.
& yes, Slushpuppy has been directing his customers of hosting towards my service, as of late. Same goes when someone asks regarding IPB, directing them towards Slushpuppy. (If it's a noticeable difference? probably not)
None-the-less, I'm thankful.
Don't find this professional, and even accurate at all. Honestly, if you consider my work 'simply ass gfx' then I'd advise against using my service for the near future. Perhaps look towards using other designers from the community.
If the client wasn't happy with the original work, then a request should have been placed in the 'revision' stages of the order.
No comment.
Each forum project can exceed roughly 8-12 hours of work. At $50, it's extremely lower than any of my standard pricing.
Proposing it's a '10 min' job, I am happy to pay you to do it at that rate, or hire you.
With regards to payment. Simply addressing it without revealing figures.
As far as am aware to my records; I've received a payment for WCOTM, Banner and divider. I don't have any records for last year so wouldn't be able to confirm any payment on the cotm.
- Regards to providing PSD.
No project I do, comes with the PSD as standard, unless it's agreed prior to the order.
Simply not going to provide SB with a PSD of work I've created for it to be shared amongst other designers/team.
WCOTM (8 months? -2-3 hours/month)
Banner
Divider
I don't think I've ever been paid for the following and was expected to create.
Legion award
COTM (12 months straight - 1-2 hours/month)
Tournament winners (2015)
SharkBrew TS icons
Rank recolour icons
Re-designed the wcotm award
As a note. I think anyone consider the placement should ensure that the staff handling the system improve before-hand.
To slushpuppy, your staff are very nonprofessional, impolite, and honestly in most cases, rude.
Each month, I'd get blunt message requesting gfx. With no regard of manors or any help providing colour schemes, or spam pictures.
(I'd need to go look for them each time, * roughly 16+ good images/month - an hour or so)
Some system
I would like to note, thanks to @@Braden and @@Kim for the support and actual assistance with the awards when they did it.
Also big thanks to Braden for the tips he made on the awards (out of his own pocket I believe).
Maxx should be able to do this for you
