It isn't a new requirement; including a username has always been the rule. You can find the portrait policies under FAQs/General RPoL Information/Portraits FAQ (
/help/content.cgi?t=faqs&page=portraitsfaq). In case the link doesn't work, it's in the top right corner of every screen, for those who might not know.
We're not really changing anything significant about those rules and guidelines, so just about everything there
should be as reliable now as it ever was. Warrax and Grimmond can correct me if I'm mistaken, but overall I
believe the only noteworthy alteration we're making is that we're only accepting submissions for the first two weeks of every month, rather than all month long. So, weeks 1 and 2 are for submissions, and weeks 3/4 will be us processing them in order to have them uploaded by the 1st of the next month.
I think everything else is pretty much the same, so new and veteran users can look to the FAQ as a solid path to follow. My opinion is, if it's been good enough for Shannara, then who are we to complain?
IkeEsq:
Would it make your lives easier if submissions included relevant category, features, and keywords? E.g. name of subject, hair color, gender, period, class, etc.
You can include suggestions for those things if you'd like to, but as it's been in the past, we can't guarantee they'll get followed/used exactly. However, I personally think they can be helpful and I've sometimes done it myself, with my submissions, so go for it!
