discussion Is it right and ethical to post your own similar build on other people's build thread?

[stona]

It's all to do with the context and whether the insertion is supportive or is obviously hijacking. Usually the intent is obvious.
As always it depends on the individual situation and there can be no right or wrong answer to such a generic question.

Exactly.


I have to say that people here are generally supportive and eager to help. I can't think of an instance when someone has hijacked a thread to show their model. Why would they? They can start their own thread to show their model just as easily.

Exactly, spot on Steve.

I don't see any problem with that . Providing it's informative and to show / help whoever has started the thread.

I didn't even know the gongs can't be awarded for inserted pictures.....Must pay more attention.
I agree if someone poses a question then yes, a picture is by far and away the best response.


I was just wondering if an unsolicited picture of a similar model just turning up willy nilly on that person's thread - be it the actual build or completed - is, in the opinion of my mates on here, O.K.?

Sure, why not? "wlly nilly"? I think not. I don't think anyone on this site would do it in order to try and show the other person up but only to try and help. Let's face it, very few people would actually ask for help, that's just human nature, but that doesn't mean they are offended in any way when it is offered or some one may just want to say "hey look I did one too,here's my version"

People have done this to me and I found it didn't distract from my build, even though the persons pictures did get some great builds like etc. I found it useful as it showed weathering or a technique, pose etc that I hadn't thought of.

As all have said, it depends the context, certainly....


Anyway, if I remember well, I posted some pictures (on other's thread) during my first or second year here....but I prefer don't do it.


And my intention is still continuing on the same way....


You can help or you can be helped, but your thread is like your workbench, is like your personal space....


Of course, you posted it to share with your friends here!


But so much confidence can blur the "established limits"...?

 

[Guest]

Could not careless. If somebody is kind enough to think it worth posting on one of my "in builds". Jolly thankful for the interest.


Anything which helps is helpful. Wow I am good at logic.

Good not...you are a master!!!


It remember me an urban mythology...


An exam, on the Universaty.


The teacher asked "-Why...yes?". "-Give me your reasons!".


Two minutes later a student left the exam on the teacher's table....


He wrote "-And why not...?"


The teacher gives at the exam the best note

No mate it's the thread it's going around and around and well you get what I'm trying to sayin

 

[Guest]

I've never done it but if it helps I would tbh there are so many advanced modelers on here I would be out of my depth most of the time. I have on other sites posted my methods on MY builds as I have been asked how I achieved a look, but if it's one i got from someone else, I always say so and so showed me this, or that. I don't see a problem with showing a solution to someone's problem with a solution you've found to work for you, it's upto the poster to use or not.

That's why I use water based paint

 

[Guest]

Whenever I do that, I use somebody else's build, in order to not seem arrogant or anything like that. If in any case I do do that, I make it informative and helpful as possible
