I am pretty sure you made another thread on his? Please keep it all in one.

Editing something and making the same concept are two very different things. I have seen countless caps for example, and you can tell when they are not edited because they dont follow the same outline and have good shading.

Following the same outline of an original hat/melee does count as an edit.

After looking at so many, I have to say that it has become really easy to pinpoint which is an edit and which isn't.
