Not everyone knows what's acceptable and unacceptable from the get go. The OT Rules do not dictate the jam policies - it's something learned. And some of the reactions here demonstrate why there is a stigma that Comic Genesis is a high school clique. If someone has committed a first time faux pas, have a little dignity and explain why. Please don't immediately harp and mock them.
How's about this:
Dreammaniaccomic, though it's not officially sanctioned, starting jams like this is generally frowned upon in this community. We generally like when jams appear spontaneously, or as a product of brainstorming of a group of people. That way, we are sure that more than one person is interested in drawing something.
You can use "search" to find older jams started by one isolated person like this. You'll see that they usually weren't received too good. Some were so embarrasing for initial posters, that they eventually asked for the thread to be erased. I guess when you do something like this, we feel like you're trying to assume some kind of leadership position (call us territorial if you will), or mimic forms of social behaviour that you don't fully understand, or at least to make us draw your ideas. Remember, we have to dedicate our valuable time to drawing a page, and between our regular comics, jam really has to be specially inspiring to make us spend a few hours on it instead of something else.
Nothing is stopping you from continuing to draw this on your own. But don't expect the same reception that "do not post" jam had.
