Eka's Portal • Pet Peeve Venting

---People who make a new thread for every new thing they create. Please just put them in one thread of your own. Good god.

---Those who submit like 10+ pictures/stories right in a bloody row. One of the biggest reasons I'll never watch a lot of people here. I just can't take flooding. Moderation, please.

---Mis-leading tags, though I'm sure I've mentioned this before. Bugs me on DA and tumblr, too. I can't even begin to list how many times F/M has been marked as M/F or that searched for male preds comes up with a ton of female preds in results.

---People who make clearly sarcastic topics aimed to make fun of or put pressure on others or a specific group of people. Not cool. And you're not funny, either.

Not saying these are universal pet peeves or anything. Like the title says, I'm just venting mine.

Sorry for all the negativity lately, guys. I'm having a really bad week and everything is getting on my nerves.

Hey a good rant every once I a while is good for the soul. XD

You have some good points in your rants.
I try to be super careful about my tagging.
I need to write more M/F...

@sakie - That's true. It's better than keeping it all in to fester more, in any case.

@TW - I know some people make honest mistakes with it sometimes. Other times, I think people just include it to try to get their work out there in every outlet and that's what tends to annoy me.

-Excessive new threads: I can agree with this one.

-Misleading tags: Also agreed. I try to be accurate with my tagging.

-Useless forum topics: Strongly agreed. These definitely annoy me.

-Too many submissions: This is my single point of contention. The purpose of this site is to share and enjoy our (rather niche-market) work. If a content-creator wants to submit a lot of work at once, it seems somewhat ungrateful to chastise them for it. I love your work, Chameleonette, and I agree with most of your opinions, but I won't support you on this one.

@MagicianXV That's alright, as I'm not asking for support on my pet peeves, lol. But allow me to explain the last one. The issue I have with artists/writers that do that is that people who have posted something new immediately get pushed way down the page or off the page on the art submissions by a ton of content from one single person. It seems like whoring oneself out to me. I think that people can exercise a use of moderation: not posting everything at once right in a single row. If you have a lot of new submissions, I don't see why not post one an hour or one every few hours. Or my personal way of doing it is one daily at the most. This also gives fans and viewers a chance to appreciate each of your works individually instead of finding 20 in their inbox within the span of 20 minutes.

With the second point, do you mean you don't like it when people upload a bunch of items at once? I've never had a problem with that.

by **Chameleonette** on Sun May 11, 2014 6:37 pm

@Pyro - So as not to repeat myself, I'll just point to my response to MagicianXV above.

Ugh, I HATE it when M/F is mistagged.

by **Chameleonette** on Mon May 12, 2014 7:28 pm

@MidnightRose - Yeah, drives me pretty crazy, too. We already have so little as it is and it's even less when counting mistagged content or multi-tagged content.
