I wasn't there for whatever you did, but you're not the only one for certain. This is actually a pretty big issue on the 'Portal, and I've seen/been the target of those who apparently need the rule spelled out for them. So yeah. Not just you, whatever you did.SomeGuy1294 wrote:Nope. This one was me. All me.
I'm the dumb-ass who screwed up, disturbed the tranquility of our community and inspired Eka to add the new rule.
You can all throw things at me now.
True enough. I handled it when it came my way, but now that it's an official rule, I'll start reporting it.Eka wrote:If at any point you (Any of you) were targeted, you need to report it.
These rule will only work if people speak up.

This is not just a suggestion. This is mandatory.

Thank you.
There's a lot of this sentiment around that X is weird, or Y is just not right, Z is disgusting!
Enough.

I hope this helps discourage such rude behavior and encourages others to continue creating amazing art. <3

I am ashamed to say that once I may have been one of them. I've said and done a couple of things to certain artists that, in retrospect, I'm not proud of. But after learning about the issues from some artist friends of mine I'm striving to be a better person. And it's all a long time ago now anyway (most of it was way before the existence of Eka's).
Speaking from my own POV back then, I think the real issue is that most people don't realize just how difficult and time-consuming creating good art is. It's often like "Hey, you do this for fun, right?", or "What are you complaining about, it's just a few doodles." Add to that the anonymity of the 'net which makes certain people say and do things they wouldn't dare to say face to face, and of course frequent and wide-spread misconceptions about copyright rules, and I think you have the root of the problem.
The only thing we can do is to let our artists know we appreciate them, and let the jerks know that their behavior is inexcusable and will not be tolerated.

...You can't be serious.
Don't you even realize that whether a piece of art is "bad" or has effort put into it or not is NOT for you to decide or due to your opinion and what YOU think? Some people struggle with art and writing more than others and have a more difficult time getting things down, but that does NOT mean they aren't worthy of respect for what they do. They may have very well put plenty of heart or soul into that piece for all you know.
Honestly, your arrogance astounds me. Everyone is worthy of respect for creating things to share, whether it's a doodle/drabble or something that took them 10 hours to make or write. If you don't like what someone has to share, you can easily overlook it instead of claiming that such people aren't worthy of respect for what they do or cutting them down.
This is basic human decency.
