Except in this case it would be a lot of “I’ll make you a sign with your name on it for 1 BP” and occasional half-decent things. It’s the yin to the contest’s yang, so to speak.

Well, if you just make one of the rules of the forum that the artists/sign-maker/whoever has to provide examples, people will know what they’re paying for, soooo. Bandaney, jenny6969 and I all have examples listed in our threads so that the… customers? can easily tell what kind of quality to expect. And they can decide whether it’s worth it from there.

I mean, sure, there’ll be people offering to do things like little doodles or bad signs or whatever, but if they’re really that bad, they won’t get any customers, the thread will die, and it won’t be much of a problem.
