Royalties Jobs - Guidelines

This forum provides a place for delayed compensation job postings. This means individuals or startup companies looking to hire staff but not able to offer immediate pay, instead they are looking to share potential funding and/or profits, if these are obtained later. This includes "pay when we're done" structure projects.

We have a few simple guidelines to follow here to cut down on the clutter and keep this professional.

1. This is for delayed compensation work only. If you can pay now, post in Full time/Part time or Freelance forum sections.
2. No mods, or any other form of non-paid positions. If your project does not offer any payment, it belongs in the Unpaid Work forum section.
3. Do not spam. Post your ad once. If you're looking for someone, and you have updated the position, then it is OK to update your thread to show that change. Feel free to refresh your thread with changes, but provide something in your post besides "Just a bump" or "Still looking!". Update the first post, and make a new reply to explain what has changed. The point of this rule is to discourage meaningless posts. Otherwise everyone is bumping their thread to get to the top, and each thread gets filled with posts which are an annoyance for everyone.
4. Do not reply in a thread unless you have a relevant question which informs everyone, i.e. "What is the art style?", "Do you require specific software?", etc. Don't ask questions which only apply to your situation. Use the Send Message system, or email, to contact someone for work.
5. Applicants should not post images from their portfolio, info selling themselves, or links to their portfolio in a project's thread. If you want to apply, email or Send Message them directly with a link to your portfolio.
6. Do not post just to say you have applied, i.e "Message sent!". This is an annoyance for the original poster (OP) and everyone else.
7. Do not ask when you'll receive a response, or to state you haven't heard back. Responding to each applicant is a very time-consuming process, most OPs do not have the time for this. If you do not hear back, it is best to assume the OP is not interested in your submission. If the OP is still looking, they will post an update.
8. This is not a place to critique/comment on other people's work, these sort of responses need to be kept in Showcase & Critique. If you have a comment for someone, use Send Message.
9. If you are a new user posting and do not see your thread, feel free to use Send Message to contact one of the moderators who will make sure it gets approved. We have an anti-spam filter in place to catch all the nonsense and viagra ads that somehow always seem to end up here. If you do not see your thread after posting, do not post multiple threads, just contact one of the moderators via Send Message.
10. If you see someone breaking these guidelines, we encourage you to use the Flag > Report button. This sends a message to the moderators, who will look into the post and decide whether it needs moderation. 
    

 If you have any questions about this section feel free to ask in this thread.

Updated the rules today. We've changed these from Rules into Guidelines. We do not actively patrol the job sections to catch rule breakers. 

If you see someone breaking these guidelines, we encourage you to use the Flag > Report button. This sends a message to the moderators, who will look into the post and decide whether it needs moderation. 

We hope the community can self-police. This section is here at your request, after all, and exists for your benefit. We hope you will show us your professionalism; if not then we'll have to revise things a bit. But we believe in you!
