forums2draw.netHmm... A bit of unfairness with comments.

There are some rules on certain Oekaki Boards that say that people are not allowed to post tiny little worthless comments, correct? Why isn't that applied here, I wonder... I know it's kind of a big job to eliminate all comments that are below ten to fifteen words, but it's kind of annoying to see some comments such as...

"its not much i just thought id draw"
"ok thaks for comenting"
"it's bad i kno"
"yeah good job"
etc, etc...

I mean, some people post tons of times on single pictures, and a lot of those posts are very short. A lot of them being short and invaluable INDIVIDUAL thank you messages to each person who comments. It's not fair, because they are getting more and more posts towards their post counts, thus giving them an unfair advantage at the Members Rankings and such.
Some short messages are worthwhile, but some are really just useless junk that should be destroyed at the first chance.

Anyways, that's just my opinion, as I hate short comments that mean so little. They don't help the artist and they just clog up the commenting spaces with useless garble.

Sorry if this is a bit too... Ranty. Or anything.

The rankings are all sqrewed up...This site (and probably every other oekaki site)kids posting 8 different 5 minute pictures a day? or making a quick picture to commemorate how many pictures they draw....But theres not much you can do about it....I wouldnt worry about rank....People know you more by your art than your rank....but it would be nice to be 3rd or 4th.......

Merulotte (edited Aug 8, 2003)
Yes, I'd like to know how the ranks are done.
*hopes that they have something to do with picture quality, or quantity, not counting comments*

me too.... (ha ha ha one more comment for me) lol just kidding It would be hard on the admin to vote on picture quality because of time and different tast....The best idea would be a voting system....like click 1 out of 5 stars....kinda thing....idunno

OMJZ why does ranking bother people?
i am here to enjoy myself and i sometimes comment on something when i like it. sometimes i don't comment because i am either too lazy or have nothing to say about a picture...
i think we don't have to go to the extent of stopping people from posting short comments. as long as the comments are related to the picture/topic, i think comments like "that's an awesome pic!" are fine, really.

Crisann is correct. I don't know how it could bother people. Like you said, Merulotte, some Oekaki boards have rules about short or off-subject comments, but not all of them. This is one of those sites that don't worry about it. I think if people had to worry about getting their comments deleted then that would take the fun out of 2Draw. I really have to disagree with you.

|EDIT| You said: "I mean, some people post tons of times on single pictures, and a lot of those posts are very short. A lot of them being short and invaluable INDIVIDUAL thank you messages to each person who comments. It's not fair, because they are getting more and more posts towards their post counts, thus giving them an unfair advantage at the Members Rankings and such."

Well, how could it be unfair when everyone could post short individual messages to each person that comments? It would be unfair when one person does that and gets away with it but no one else gets away with it.

I never said I was bothered by ranks... Not by much. -_-
Just forget it. It's not like I'm going to be here enough of the time anyway.

Yes crisann and reanboe are very correct. You cant get mad. Its poinless because people are going to continue to do that. You cant stop them. If your so mad why dont you just post short comments. Its not like every one has to post paragraphs just to say good job. This topic is pointless. And for the other oekaki boards. Thats them not 2draw. So why even care?

Err... I might as well edit this to cut down on me looking so idiotic, plus the embarrassment of being wrong. ><

Merulotte (edited Aug 12, 2003)
Sorry. I really didn't mean anything to be so harsh, and I didn't want to argue, so I'll just stop, I guess. (And I'm not that narcissistic, as I rather hate myself.)

This whole site is like that, including the drawings on the in-appropriate boards. I thought this whole site was a practice site. I mean poke around at the different boards. Let it ride.
