So I've just started making some custom skins/accents and I have no clue what good forum etiquette is for them. Do I ping people when I submit the accent to be printed? Do I only ping when I get them to sell? I know about not spamming GASP but have 0 clue about the rest of the best practices. Help me out?
You can ping either before it gets printed or after. If you need funds to print it first then ping GASP and fill up however many slots and runs you're willing to take on. If you can print it yourself then you can ping after printing and either sale directly to the interested GASP members or just let them know it's listed on the Auction House.
It's your personal preference and it's like you mentioned, just don't spam ping GASP and you'll be fine.
From my experience doing preorders: (aka you want people to pre-pay for the skins to fund the blueprint cost) you can ping GASP before you submit it and have people order your skin before you submit (the art should be done but sometimes you might have to make small edits as part of the approval process).
If you’re not doing preorders you can still ping as soon as the art is finalized so you know how many to order before you submit it. Tbh I think pinging GASP at any point after the art is done is fine as long as you’re only pinging once for that specific skin.
