Recently I created a status code on a shield template, after I uploaded it I was told the file was too large. In confusion, I PMed a player relations admin and he told me the rules. They've changed since the last time I uploaded a status code b/c apparently they're illegal now. Although my intentions for my huge shield code are not to cover my player, I'm still not allowed to use it. The issue with this is that the only other way to upload a status code is through a gang picture. Sure this works but I'm restricted to still images with annoying solid backgrounds b/c only JPEG files can be uploaded as gang pics. There is no file format that provides inherent support for animations and transparent backgrounds that players can use to upload status codes. So how am I supposed to upload my GIF status code now? The answer is, I don't. Unless someone out there wants to approve it for me, that would be greatly appreciated!
There needs to be another way of uploading a status code, I don't think it would be too difficult to recreate something that functions similarly to shield codes but for statuses only.
Please comment an F in the thread if you are also frustrated.
