Icons, anyone?

[Orcnet]

I was wondering, since the World of Warcraft models are banned here in this website, what about the icons? I mean, can we import them even though there a part of the WOW resources? I was planning to import some icons from it and I have seen someone had posted them already. reply ASAP so I would know, thank you!

planning to upload my friend, but can my actions turn out to be stealing? I don't see any rules for this so is this okay?

Uploading icons made by somebody else is stealing. World of Warcraft resources are also copyrighted. You are not allowed submit these resources to our database.

This is basically wc3sear.ch with a new name and a new staff (for the most part). A lot of the old resources from wc3sear.ch can still be found in the database - albeit with some missing details like paths and the likes. Just go back to resources pre-2006 and everything is from wc3sear.ch.

Orcnet,

Obviously, He got banned for stealing resources. besides.. pics from other game resizing them to 64x64 then add boarders is also considered as cnp.

Feel free to use any other wow icons in your map though, that's fine. Just don't upload them to the icons section and you'll be fine.

There are actually some icons in the Icons section submitted by user called "Blizard Entertainment" but even thought the account was deleted the icons are still there.

I don't know if it was Blizzard's account or not.

The Blizzard Entertainment profile on wc3search was made by darky to make sure credit was given where it was due, and wasn't actually an official Blizzard account.

That said, Blizzard released a number of WoW icons for public use (at least as far as modding went) hence their existence in the icons section (on top of the fact that they were from wc3s) so, unlike models, it shouldn't be an issue.
