It really bothers me....
14 years ago
I know I'm not the most vocal person on this site, in fact since I joined it on September 26th, 2011 07:42pm CST this is only the second journal I have ever posted. I don't have a lot of favorites, I have even less work up in my gallery and I don't have a huge watch list going in and out. Yet I feel that I am a contributing member of this site, I check each day usually and view close to 90% of the submissions and journals that are posted. I even read each and every note that comes through my inbox and respond to them in a reasonable time period. What bothers me is when I note another person, wait a while then check the sent section and see that they have read my note, wait longer just in case they read it but have not gotten the chance to respond and yet... they never respond. Whether it be something as simple as thanking a new watcher and out of curiosity ask them what made them decide to watch me because remember, I don't have stuff posted up often so it's not because of something that I recently got out there. Or the worst part is when I ask someone who's art style I absolutely love and admire if they will be opening for commissions soon since their last journal two months ago mentioned them opening. Let me ask you something friends and fellow readers, is this such an evil note that it has to be ignored?
"I haven't been on lately so I might have missed something, but I was wondering if you would be opening for commissions anytime soon. You are one of my favorite artists on here with your art style and I would really love to be able to commission you for some artwork. Anyways I hope I'm not bothering you and hope to hear back from you one way or another soon."
I mean seriously? I asked one question in that entire note and I can't even get a simple response? Is it that difficult to write something even as simple as... "I'm sorry, I am not currently open for commissions, and I don't know when I will be." Took me a grand total of 15 seconds to type that, and that was with me having to hit the backspace twice to correct for a keyboard error.
It just really bothers me that people are so inconsiderate that they can't even take 30-60 seconds to send a simple reply.

what your expecting is way way to much. You cannot be that much of a stickler for notes and responses. Honestly, a note is something that they can read and respond to if and when they have the time or desire to. Hate to break it to you this way bud, but if you want an instantaneous response, send them an IM.
Its not that their inconsiderate, they aren't obliged to respond immediately after they read the note.
