I've lately seen a lot of complains from people, that certain recolors are accepted, and others are not. Since everyone asked for a purge and we don't want to have anyone discriminated around here, thinking that we are impartial, I have decided that pure recolors will no longer be accepted.
Exception files are Darky's icons (why? because he owns the site) and Blizzard icons (because they were put here by Darky himself). If Darky allows me, I will remove these icons as well. Until then, they will stay. But any other icon, purely recolored, will be deleted.
Its about time, I remember when I suggest and did this when I was a mod and got so much crap from it. Wc3search needs to return to its former glory of good resources.
Umm... Jacek, if you are looking through the icon section to download them, could you please PM me with all the links? I would not have to search so much then.
If you can find recolors between my icons, go ahead. I am going to delete them. Though I personally do not do recolors so I don't see how you could find something like that.
As for the other problem, link me ALL recolors. Rules are rules...
I disagree. Many recolored icons are quite useful - potions especialy and items overall. Why should I make it my own and spent long time if someone else already made it and shared it?
And another thing. Is taht recolor or new icon? http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Icons&ID=10033 Looks cool and uncommon, but it is proudmoore. Could it be deleted? I dont think so.

actually, recolours take pretty much no time to make, they can be done in just about 2-3mins.(including covnerting and disbtn, im applying to basic recolours)
Yes, it may, if you are hurry and if you are recoloring one icon, but it is much faster to download it especially if you need more than one icon. What is wrong on recolored icons? Skins are much more useless and noone making such "genocide".
Removing all recolors is the equivalent of removing all GUI spells. 99% of the times you are doing the right thing. But still 1% of them are good things that should be kept. Such generalizations are lame

They are not art, and they are not proper icons anymore for the site. This genocide is necessary to prevent other complains about "why can a recolor stay and mine can't?". -looks good- is extremely subjective, just an opinion. I don't want any more complains about discriminations and some being accepted, while others not. Lame or not, this is the reality, and the best solution.
Last one is just copied MtG card - Necropotence. Coping art of somebody else is more art than recoloring? And making icon from unit portrait? Do you really think replacing "discrimination" (accept some recolors) with bigger one (no recolors) is best solution, I can only say it is stupid idea
