In light of recent events, I thought it would be good to start a discussion on some rules that can keep the focus of posts in this forum on the development of skins - especially considering this is a development subforum.
We already have a clear and simple method for labelling threads: Concept; WIP; and Release. These are straightforward and work well.
In addition to these I would propose:
-- Posts that say "I can't wait for this skin!" are ok
-- Posts that say "When are you going to release this skin?! I want to use it now." are not.
Basically, its all just a reminder that skins take a long time to complete and that sometimes people's lives get in the way.
What are everyone's thoughts/ideas? Any additions/changes etc?

In addition to these I would propose:
- No posts requesting an ETA - if the developer has an ETA they will put this in the first post of the thread
- No posts requesting a developer release the work in an unfinished state.
- No posts commenting on how long a skin is taking to complete / wishing the development timeframe was faster
- No posts complaining that a skin has been abandoned
