The event is over everywhere on the planet now (that is, it is April 8 everywhere on the planet now), so any images submitted from here forward will be “too late” (unless there’s some extenuating circumstances), so I’m doing a pass through this thread and the uploaded images to take care of any that were uploaded in the last day or two, and any that were missed.
We have to do them by hand, so it takes a while. And with some images there’s two people involved - uploader and artist (and in some cases also the commissioner) so we take a few minutes deciding what to do with each image. And for dozens of images these events are our first chance to verify artists and match unknown artist tags to actual profiles, so for me it’s worth taking the time to get these done all the way.
I’m working through the uploaded images chronologically from oldest to newest - others on staff look for images posted here in this thread, some are working from newest to oldest … so its not unusual for people who uploaded before or after you to have badges - it may seem a bit random, but this way most of the submissions are seen by two or more people, so it kind of helps us audit each other and make sure that no one is missed.
I’ll reply to individual posts later, but if anyone has any questions I’ll be here periodically throughout the day and will try to answer.
