maybe u should of spent abit more time on it.... 11 min isnt really much

I believe that if you lose an artwork, you lose double the points it was worth... I think. That means that a 5 Point picture will be deleted for a subtraction of 10 points.

sal lol, this isnt the one that was deleted lol..., this 11 minute wonder was just a quickie commentary lol..., sorry bout the confusion. Merulotte, i have had things deleted b4 and lost the 5 points only...
dont ge tme wronmg folks... im not *itching, just curious...not even upset about the deletion, i trust the rules are rules guidelines, i just think if theres an unusual circumstance..like double points demerited, an explanation is due.

Time for lesson on points!!!
Ok, first, you submit something as unfinished, you get NO points!! wooO!
Now, you set it to finished, and woo you get points!!! woo!!! 5 on beginner!!!
Ok now someone deletes it, not only do you lose the 5 points you got, but 5 more points to remind you to follow the rules. So that's losing 10 points, but only 5 more than you originally had.
But wait, what if it was deleted before it was set to finished? You never got 5 points in the first place, so you don't lose those 5, you just lose 5 points to remind you to follow the rules.
So, you depending how many points you got for submitting the picture will affect how many you lose. If it was unfinished, you never got any.

well now...that sucks lol. i fully understand the system points now..thanks marcello, and my apologies to Merulotte, u were right i was wrong... i STILL think reasons should be given for deletions tho lol..i know i know i'll shut up about it now :O)

In general the reason is "spend more time on your drawing" or "put more (obvious) effort into your drawing"
In this case I'd probably say something like "don't use the freaking texture tools they make a picture look crap"
