What the fuck is wrong with people?
14 years ago
I made a minor complaint to an artist about a lack of explanation on a free art journal, and now I've been insulted, belittled, judged unfairly, and just overall turned into a fucking laughing stock.
FA+

Swearing at people isn't going to make things better and telling people to F off really does make you look even worse imo. So you made a mistake and misread something it happends, truth is it happends to a lot of furs. A lot of people don't take the time to read things and sometimes ontop of that they misunderstand rules etc, yeah okay we get it you don't read everyones journals or everything. I can't fault you on that i'm known to nuke a few journals sometimes without reading them. But in so doing that and expecting something for nothing you may miss out entirely. If your signed up for a freebie thing the best thing to do is keep tabs on what the artist is doing or if your confused why you haven't gotten something in a bit, maybe tab over their journals and skim them to see whats going on first.
either way its not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. People are going to contiue to make it a big deal with this journal up though.. But hey its your choice how you clean up this mess. Either way I can see even being nice i'm probably going to get the same cut and pasted message as everyone else. Good luck.. hopefully you can straighten this mess out a bit on your own.
Mistakes happen, mistakes on the internet happen but if not cleaned up soon will live forever on a drama community somewhere.
Everyone has moments of stupidity.. just some peoples moments are a bit louder then others ;-; *sighs*
I will be sure to give better instructions on my journals for new comers.
These journals are only giving yourself a bad name and its only making you look like a horrible person which I know you are not.
sorry I made about 8 typos... my head is killing me
And thank you, it's reactions like this that I've grown so used to here on FA and that I take comfort in.
