Um, excuse me?

Okay, jackass, first things first. I don't do anything anyone tells me to do if they don't have the balls to use a name. Anonymity is worth crap shit in my book.

Secondly, as much as you may not like the idea, crediting icons in keywords is an option, not a necessity. Hypothetically, if I didn't like the way the extra names looked on my icon page, I could go without them, and you would just have to deal with it. That is not the case here, obviously, having credited people before as I have, but if I choose to credit an icon I do so because I want to be polite, which happens most of the time, and if I have the person's name and/or if they request it. If I don't credit an icon, it's probably because I don't remember who made it, or the person didn't demand credit in keywords.

Thirdly, what the fuck are you? Random icon police? If it's not your icon creation, bugger off. I don't claim that icon as mine, I haven't since I started using it and I haven't when people have asked. But neither am I going to credit to any name you tell me just because you, who have nothing to do with the making of the icon, decide to randomly and bizarrely comment anonymously on my journal and order me to write a credit to some random name who may or may NOT actually have anything to do with said icon.

Fourthly, don't order people around.

Fifthly, don't order people around on issues that aren't your business.

Sixly, don't order people around but leave neither name nor contact information. Coward.


Edit-- It looks like the person the Cowardly Commentor thinks I should credit IS NOT EVEN the original iconmaker.
Figures.
Cowardly Commentor: go the fuck away.

I totally get it – it was kind of a drive by scolding. I thought credit meant the same thing you did, because I didn't know other people could even see your icon names/notes. I mean, I never bothered to look at anyone else's. I still haven't. :D

And you're right about icon culture seeming to have changed... but I think it's also people are getting more and more elaborate with effects and brushes and layers and it's all Art now, where before it was like... take a screencap, crop, label, voila! At least it looked that way to the casual observer... I learned better when I tried to make my own icons. ;)
