Disallow asking for vouch copies

[Kyle]

So I have idea that I think is reasonable. The past view days Ive been seeing an enourmous amount of vulchers asking New Artist and Graphic Designers that have a portfolio and vouches for vouch copies I propose that we make it illegal to ask for vouch copies unless the Artist and or Graphic Designer specifies says they are doing vouch copies. Because as of right now new threads are being swarmed and spammed with people who just want some free stuff

Agreed. Asking for vouch copies/free work unless otherwise specified is just rude and insulting towards the artist because of the time and effort taken to create such work.
I'm sure Coco would also agree with this.

Against this.
Asking for a vouch copy is understandable for a new artist, even if they do have a portfolio. I came to MCM as a fairly respected artist in multiple circles and had to reestablish that here. Vouch copies are the way to do it.
Sure, it can be annoying but unless explicitly stating "NO VOUCH COPIES" in their thread, it should not be against the rules.

I think that it shouldn't apply to an artist at all. It should apply to everywhere in the forums for everyone's services on mcm. It is annoying to be ask for a vouch copy if you don't offer any.

Im not saying rule them out completley but just prevent users from asking unless the artist says that they are giving them out

Unless explicitly stating they are not giving out a vouch, it should not be banned. That's pointless

I only ask for vouch copies if the designer/service is new. I tend to not ask for them if like 15 are already given out. It just makes me feel guilty.

I guess that depends on what you consider art or who you consider artists. Although this is debatable, almost all minecraft services are "art" of some form.

By asking a vouch copy, you take away person's time to do paid work which isn't good for business.

I know that for a fact that it wont kill you to give out vouch copy. Giving out a vouch copy with give you something back in return. TRUST

Its because of the false sense of security people get from "reputation" on the side of the posts.
You can gain rep by simply trolling or being funny overtime, doesn't mean you're trusted enough to give someone a "vouch" in order for you receiving something in exchange.

The whole "vouch" / "vouch copy" system the community uses is a bit flawed currently imo, but I guess its the best we've got to work with until someone comes up with something new.
