~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay I recieved my very first warning because of an enlarged scan.
I know that in the Rules people can still get warnings for submitting enlarged
scans eitherway whether they did it or not,
but I've been falsey accused of actually doing it. The moderator believes that I
took the 1st earlier submission and manipulate it to make it larger in order to
submit it and get the other deleted which I did no such thing. I'm not that
evil.
The moderator enlarged the earlier scan and compared to mine saying it was
exactly the same and it was that proof they made that led me to recieve my first
warning. Just because the moderator can do it does not mean they can assume that
I can. I can honestly tell you that I do not know how to enlarged a scan in
order to make it look better because there is no such thing.
I've been a Minitokyo member long enough to know not to enlarge a scan because
its ruins the quality of an image. I also know what a typical enlarged scan
looks like from having to report some before. It usually blurry, jagged lines
and pixalated/artifacts, distored, etc.
I knew this image was submitted earlier but I downloaded it anyway for keepsake.
Turns out that I noticed my resolution was slightly bigger than the previously
submitted one.
So I submitted it by making a few adjustment of changing the .png format to a
.jpg format because the file size was too large to send in.
A few hours later, botchii deleted "Classy Lady" and I was like okay I
understand. And because I've understand, I've never bothered making any
complaints until now. Then after few minutes of the deletion I recieved the
above message from my guestbook. I was shocked! Because of the false assumption,
I HAD no choice but to defend myself in order to prove that I did not purposely
enlarged a scan or having "the gaul to submit it as a superior replacement
scan."
So I compared both scans to see what was wrong with mine (I only have Jasc Paint
Shop Pro so I could be viewing this wrong?) At first I notice a slight blurr in
mine which could be easily fixed with the sharpen tool. Then I thought
"Could I have actually submitted an enlarged scan? How stupid of me to not
check clearly!" It was hard to determine cause I thought the slight blurr
could have been caused by the scanning at 300+ dpi resolution. I also did not
see the serious jagged lines and pixalated/artifacts either. I then thought that
maybe the previous submitted scan was resized smaller from the original to make
it look excellent quality.
Then I made a big discover! The reason it might have come out looking
"enlarged" because originally the file was saved as a .png format
which meant it was to preserve the quality of the image to the highest. By
trying to convert it to .jpg format the quality got destroyed which could
possibly explained the bad quality. I was also wondering that even if the
original was in .png format could you guys noticed it was enlarged despite being
saved at a higher file type? I mean, it was hardly noticable and I was just
following the requirements of what an enlarged should have.
I think this issue should be based on the low quality of the image that I sent.
That if the moderators did not like it because of the quality then it should
simply be qurrantine/deleted. Don't jump to conclusions unless its really really
noticeable. Sure mine had a slight blurr but was it enough to accused me of just
enlargement instead poor quality?
I also do not think its right to immediately give me a warning when I rarely or
barely submitted any repeated enlarged scans or caused any other trouble in MT.
I love MT and its the best place to get high quality scans. I've tried other
places but MT will always be the one.
I'm also not asking you to bring back my scan either, the other person can keep
their scan up. I admit it was my fault and stupidness and I shall be more
careful in the future when doing conversions, I'm just trying to rid my first
warning.
Sorry about how long my complaint is, I hope it doesn't sound harsh. I was
trying to explain my situation.
Thank you for considering it.

Hey deathsseraphim,
I voted for the third one in the poll, and I guess the reason I know so much is
because of memory and my huge collection of pictures/images in my computer's
hard drive. I don't really know that much because I do have some images that I
don't know who or where it came from. I also browsing many images through the
web and in MT daily. Hope that answers your question.
