If you made every single part of it yourself then it is fine to post it, if you stole exact colors, images, or coding techniques from the SZ's source code, then it is ripping. :/

If you did everything by yourself, you may post it, just make sure you didnt take anything,

also, Astheria, if someone where to make a skin like this skin, and it looks exact, and the coding is almost exact, but they did it by themselves, that isnt a rip, is it?

I know there was a copy of the Skin Zone buttons created, but in red. It was deemed a rip, and closed. But I disagree, if someone put hours into making something exactly like this its very possible. But in the end, why? The ideal thing is to be original.

whats he/she is trying to say is that if you took any of the images it is. LOL you can take the same colors....

Nope, you can't. Not as far as I know. Colors have to be at least slightly different, even if not visible.

Anything that could be taken as the SZ skin would be deemed a rip really. Why make a look a like skin in the first place? :/

If you like the skin so much, make something similar, but different in it's own way. Use similar colors but make a different style of images, etc.

How do you guys figure out if its the same and what not.

like i could never post my skin code or anything and just post it. but what if its so close to ifskin zone that is is almost copying...

like for example...

i use everything the same but add like 1 pixel to everthing

would that still be riping i mean its idffrent

i would change the color by the slightest bit so its not the same

would that still be riping i mean...

all is diffrent to the smallest thing.

You need to have made everything from scratch.

Sure, you can copy the style, copy the concepts, but when you start copying CSS, images or colours directly from the source, it's classed as a rip.

Icedragon, if you've copied the image but changed a pixel, you've still copied something, and you'll be punished for ripping.

When you think about it, someone has spent time and effort creating everything you're looking at now. Surely you should respect that and not even venture towards ripping. :/
