well since i was told that we cant use free images in the tutorials submitted to pixel2life it still continues to be run with tutorial with free image hosts, for example... http://www.pixel2life.com/tutorials/count/...r_vista_design/

still on the front page, with free image-hosted images. how come im the only one who is targeted for these pointless rules on submitting the tutorials?

i would have just continued with my last post but it was closed.

If you were to spend some time looking before posting you will find the images on that tutorial are on another domain which belongs to the same person.

It's most likely an addon domain.

You are not being targeted, you are being declined because your tutorials did not follow the rules. This tutorial writer on the other hand, did.

Edit: Oh and the rule isn't pointless, as Dan already explained due to the amount of traffic indexed tutorials receives public image hosting sites usually remove the image to conserve bandwidth, hence rendering the tutorial about as useful as a large to anyone who attempts to read it.

Thanks Matt... Yes, owning your own webspace to ensure your images stay up rather than on an unreliable public hosting server you have no control over is soooo pointless.

FYI tutorials are declined daily for public hosting, but if feeling your are the sole person who is specifically targetted by this rule makes you feel better, so be it.

Last time I tell you... if you have an issue with a specific tutorial, you can contact me directly, as this is in no way a site support problem.
