MTS2:Creator Guidelines

MTS2 Creator Guidelines

Before uploading and sharing your creations, please be aware that MTS2 has specific criteria and guidelines for quality that we expect all items to adhere to. These guidelines have been in place for a number of years, and ensure that the general overall quality of uploads found here surpasses that of other sites.

Please do not be disappointed if your upload is rejected for not meeting these guidelines. Usually the specific PM you get details why your specific upload has not been approved at that time - either becuase it's a flat out rejection (which is usually if you have missed key points of these FAQs, or for a number of other reasons), or if it's a changes required (which means small fixes or changes are needed to make it compliant with these guidelines).
