some quirks about commenting
19 years ago
General
I have a very, Larry David approach to commenting on such sites as this. I dont really like taking much effort at all towards things which seem pointless. These pointless things will rarely ever get a comment from me;
- NOTIFICATION: of a watch. to me this seems like an effort completely made by the other person, to get something THEY wanted. notification of your art. Your just posting it and they now have an advantage in seeing it. hooray for everyone! I just dont think its necessary to thank it, as it doesnt really give anything to the artist, except possible vanity and/or smugness, which would be terrible.
- EXCEPTION: when a very skilled artist with more experience than myself has watched me. This shows they feel there is a working quality to my work, and that deserves much respect as they took their time, which is my biased opinion more important here than someone who doesnt draw that well, if at all.
- REPLIES TO A SUBMISSION: I tend to take thoughtful effort whenever I leave a comment on someone's submission. Reasons for me liking it, the working and non working elements of the piece, etc etc. I honestly appreciate that same effort taken on the part of others, it shows true and sinscere qualities of an art appreciator. When someone posts something that is like, a sentence long or less, I usually dont even bother with a reply. The comment is appreciated on a certain level, but my laziness is heavy, and if my sense of gratitude isnt enough to outweigh it, then thats just a damn shame.
- FAVOURITES: I dont like sending a reply to favourites at all really. In my perception its just a shallow, and lazy intarweb way of saying
"Oh hey, that looks cool! ^_^ *click fav* OOOH! now the artist has watched me! SCHWEET!"
I feel a favourite is a strong claim and should not be taken so lightly. I find half the pics done by people to be interesting and cool on some level, but they do not touch me in that special, pedophile manner. The pics I will favourite are the art pieces which inspire me! Pieces which have a certain quality to them which would surpass things I could do. Pictures which have something meaningful to say, or even have the power to change your own perception of something.
- EXCEPTIONS TO FAVS. When the user has also left a meaninglfull, well thought comment. Of course I will reply to it, but I will also thank them for the fav ontop of that comment.
I honestly expect all of these quirks to apply to myself in other's minds as well. Doesnt mean everyone has to hinder to them, their not rules, just expectations. Effort is on the individual because EH... Nobody got a gun to anyone's head.
take some effort, you loungy lazy furries you.

I FEEL RUDE ON AN INTERNET FURRY ART GALLERY.
At what point did my poor, deluded brain decide I was bound by the invisible etiquette of an art archive?
It mostly annoys me when people clutter up my pages with 'thanks for the watch' shit. They need an automatic system. 'Chaotikat thanks you for the watch, now, go on with your life.'
