I would never block notes ;o;

That's good. It can ONLY hurt the commissioners too.

"oh I'll note them to ask a simple question because I'm interested in a commission.. oh your notes are blocked.. well guess you just lost money"

*nods* sad sad thing UnU

It's really a 100% lose-lose deal for them.

Yeah, I do feel this will be problematic.

Ain't this the truth.

Agreed. FA has the worst messaging system when it comes to anything really. Shouts, Comments, Replies.. Notes. Really its not all that user friendly, so now we'll just give people the ability to block notes and just make things even more difficult. x.x

I really do have to wonder how many people would actually do that and how many will either forget about it in a few days or not give a flying fuck to begin with.

I really hope people will just forget about it. It's only going to hurt the artist

What they should add is a search box and folders for notes. Well, and folders for submissions too, lol.

or at least redo the whole note system to keep tabs on them.. the RE:RE:RE: situation is a nightmare.

do like Gmail does and thread them

That would be just as awesome too. If only. ):

I think that would solve most of the problems on this site.

and if anyone does block their notes and owe me art. I'm just going to post it publically a shout.

Blocking notes is a lose-lose situation for the artist.

I agree but at the same time, I feel like the people who are blocking the use of notes already didn't read notes. I know a bunch of people who don't bother to read their notes and would rather take email's instead.

I really think your making a bigger deal with this than it really is dude.

I mean, all FA is doing is giving people the ability to disable their notes. Big flippin deal. You're making it sound like FA is getting rid of the note system and forcing all people to stop using notes, which isn't the case.

Think about it, who is actually going to be the one who disables their notes? The one who depends heavily on notes to keep in touch with those they commission? I doubt it. The person who is sick and tired of getting notes when they're page clearly says EMAILS ONLY? Probably. The one who never read their notes in the first place? Possibly.

Again, this isn't the end of the world like you're making it out to be. FA isn't exactly forcing the Note Blocks on people, just offering it.

This is coming from someone who really doesn't commission a lot of art. So I doubt you'd understand anyways.

This coming from someone who wouldn't even disable his notes in the first place. So I doubt you'd understand anyways.
