It'll be pretty obvious if he uses it, because it'll be up on his website. I don't want to make assumptions, but it'd be really silly of him to do something like that. Not only will it ruin his rep; I don't think anyone would conduct business with him in the future. It's sad, yet amusing, to see how most contest threads turn into rants about whether the contest holder will pay-up, or whether he/she is a scammer. Anyway, my apologies to Kingrage if he's just been busy and hasn't had time to reply.
I wasn't saying he 'had' just that he could do.. Like you said he could be really busy, and thats that
Well whatever the case- greater care should be taken with postings like this if you want people to take you seriously. I know he read my message 2 minutes after I sent it and not a word. This tells me he's not serious and this type of thing is killing the industry (freelance). Ah well what can ya expect right? It ist a real elance board right... As far as his taking the banner and using them, well I doubt that as most of thge banners were not very good, including mine and they wouldn't be worth dragging your name or www.zune4free.com through the mud right? Anyway I assume that this topic had reached an end and is no longer anything to do with what it was about, really..kinda...to all the other elancers-may jobs find you peace
To be honest, I created a banner because I was bored and not for really for the money. I could care less if he took the .jpg and edited it. If the posting was for a $50+ project then I would take more security measures.
I have NOT used anyone's submitted work and am still looking. I have been out of town for the last few days. Still looking, thanks.
kingrage, do take a look. The url typo will be delivered in your actual url, if you decide to get it. PM me for details.
thanks kingrage. Files sent, payment received. kingrage is now looking for a static 468*60 banner. Post yours here today! Cheers.
