I would normally not be bothered by a person’s actions. And I would tell them that I disagree and try to get my point across. Afterwards I would try to talk to them and then try to reach a consensus. But this person is plainly rude and has no manners what so ever. He is a just appointed moderator in the graphics section and in the few moments he is a mod he managed to offend and disrespect so many people it is just amazing.
All his text will be screenshots so he can’t go and change it.
I found out about this person because I made a contribution on utopian. He came in and told me this.
What I was wondering directly after this message was where he got this info. How did he check if it was actual clipart? And what was wrong with shapes – clipart in a logo. When I asked him that on discord he plainly said Because I say so. After a lot of sentences back and forth I came to the conclusion that this person is moderating in the assumption he is god and he decides everything.
I asked him one simple question. Why is this better then what I created.
He said we like original work better. And yours is not because you used clipart. So, I asked him if he created the ellipse tool and the square tool as well. No answer – go figure.
After this I started to receive a lot of messages on discord from different people having the same issues with this moderator. Some even worse then my experience. He judges material not on the graphics but on his personal taste / distaste. Nothing wrong with that he believes. Well it is.
He disapproved logo’s because he felt the existing one was better. When everyone else disagreed he just did not budge at all.
And then we did not speak about his arrogant and plainly unpolite conversation skills.
Don’t we live in a system where your innocent until proven guilty. I understand a moderator has no time to go around the internet and search for every graphic ever made. But the way he says it is so ugly and distasteful that no one wants to help him out. Calling people dumb to get them to show you something? Pathetic!

And who decides that? He told the creator of the logo to go and ask the developers if they found his better then what they already had ….. ?
I agree that versioning might not be the best way to go. But was that final sentence really necessary? Didn’t his mom teach him to be respectful?
And we are stil waiting on proof. He is douing this everywhere. After alot of complains he started to answer some with proof. And then i agree. Using someone elses work without saying so is not nice.
But there is nothing stating that you can't use free stock images.
Here are the rules at the moment of making this post.
- We reserve the right to reject a graphic contribution if we believe the work is not enough to be rewarded.
- You must provide samples of your creations directly on this post and include public links to the full design.
- This category is meant only for graphics/videos/motion graphics you have realised for an Open Source project.
- You must include every possible detail to verify the work done.
- You must provide the editable files, as PSD and similar source files.
- If you are providing a logo, you should also provide the different logo variations in terms of sizes and colors and also compare the new logo with the previous one, when applicable.
- T-shirts and merchandising in general are not welcome unless explicitly requested by the project owner.
- Never post about graphics you have already shared before.
I could continue and show you the disrespectfull chats i had with this person. But i guess reading this is horror enough :)
Seems like he isn't in for defending himself. After what i heard he might have not much to defend himself. I am not sure why staff from utopian isn't taking action.
Agreed, until now he has not even appoligized to all the people he offended and disrespected!

Moderator has the right to reject the contribution. You could take his advice and make another contribution. A lot of contributions I have received to see were not that good.
Edit: Self upvote for visibilty.
If it is with respect i agree. But the way he does it is egocentric and power abusive. Half of the time he does not give any reasons or proof of it. And that is a issue i can not agree on.
Respect goes both ways. So if a moderator shows no respect why should we show respect to him? He acts as a spoiled brat who got everything from mommy and therefore should not uphold manners.
Yes.this mod is just sucker.need to change him.
We are trying. But it seems the supervisors and overseers are not seeing what we see. He is giving utopian a bad name. I can handle a disaproved contribution if it is done with respect and proof. He just offends people without proof.
This mod is just disgusting.He act as he learned from his Mother's womb.and @kiaazad if you have really 15 years of experience in graphics design why staying here go to freelancing.why staying here for only 200-300$.you can sell your 1 logo up to 500$.
Did he say he has 15 years of experience? Does not show in his work.
Easy on that guy bro, he doesnt really know that respect is Reciprocal. Nice job you ha e done here, keep it up
@diamondrich
Ty for the support! The more people we get on this post the better. We need to show the utopian staf that we can take alot but there are boundries!
YEH
ok ... very helpfull.
I followed up with the linked content that you provided. Keep in consideration there are people out there that enjoy upsetting other people. The best way to deal with such personality types is to not give them the satisfaction of letting them upset you :)
Agreed, thats why i created another logo that took me way longer. Just to get approved :)
On the other hand i don't believe people like that are healthy for a community like utopian where everyone is contributing for projects. We all do this in our spare time to help and the upvote is our form of payment. But if someone is taking away that upvote with bogus reasons we as a community need to step up and show the higher ups there is something happening.
Thats what i am trying to do.
But i take your wise words to hearth!
I think with all the attention he's drawing to himself with his negativity is going to catch up with him :)
You can be shure of that
I agree, kiaazad do not know the meaning of graphics... nagmamagaling
i would not go that far. He does however do not know how to judge them.
