Scrappy Lil' Fellas (minor rant)
13 years ago
So.
Been seeing a good number of "gonna start posting at another site" journals. Various reasons, won't discredit any of them, it's their call and that's just fine and dandy. Some folks just wanna disconnect themselves from this site entirely, and that's their call too, but this isn't about them. This is about the folks that continue to keep a presence here, but just up and delete their old works, possibly saying that they may repost them later.
Scraps. Little tab on your page. You probably don't have anything in there. Why don't you try shifting that stuff over there?
I mean, it's kind of the point of that particular tab. Scraps can't be reached by standard browsing (not sure about search, but when has that ever worked on here?), posts to it only show up on your watchers' feeds, and most importantly, they're nowhere to be found in your regular gallery, front page, anything. Click on the image you don't want to look at anymore, click Change Info, and under Submission Category, click the Put In Scraps box. UPDATE AND DONE.
Look, I get it if you really don't like a piece anymore, and don't want it to represent you and your art. That's fine, I've nixed a couple things over the years myself. The folks I'm addressing here are the ones that are all like "WELL MY GALLERY'S A LITTLE CLUTTERED TIME TO DELETE EVERYTHING". Art, especially in a public venue, is just as much yours as it is everyone else's. Be a little considerate, please.

I wish there was a "nuke all deleted faves" button that would prune out all the deleted submissions. Or, if someone deleted a piece the favorite goes away. STILL though.
