That's not called selfish, it's called logic. And whoever said that you were selfish obviously doesnt know what happens when a group splits and blocks two-way communication. It's even worse that people need to essentially go through a ''check'' to get the Skype info. It should be on the front page. You dont need to do anything other than make an account and log on here, why the extra hassle for Skype?
You see? That would have been a good point for me to make instead of verbally flailing about.

You can never change the past, nor the future. Only the present. Correct the past and influence the future in the here and now and you will make the most out of what little time we as humans are given on this earth.

Exactly, I am determined to learn from the past, even if nobody will accept my insight as anything but gibbering hatred.

Well then prove them wrong. I would not know where to start, but I would be more than willing to assist you in your task.

DON'T ABUSE THE RATING SYSTEM
Myself and a lot of others are getting sick of dealing with this bullshit, and it's turning away other users due to the constant arguments erupting over it. From this point onward I don't want to see any of the following:
-Inflammatory remarks made through the rating system
-Harassing another user in any way via the system
-Downrep 'brigading', including
--rating a single post down multiple times
--rating a person without reference to a particular post
--going through a users comment history and downrepping a high volume of posts in a short timespan
[b]-Any other general abuse of the rating system (eg. 'boosting' your own or another users number to a particular value)[/b]
The rating system should be used for the following:
-To rate up posts from users who have contributed funny or meaningful content
-To voice disagreement with posts which are considered unhelpful or unwanted
Use common sense and remember the golden rule: don't be a dick. If you have grievances with another user I suggest you take it up with them in person, either via PM or some other communication channel (eg. skype/steam).
If I continue to see abuse of the system I will be issuing actual punishments to the relevant parties from this point. You have been warned.
*ahem*
It was just a question, it never went any farther. No issues here.

Don't worry KC, I liked the sentiment.

It's there because it came with the forum and Ehks probably has no idea how to get rid of it.
That and while not everyone uses it and it is abusable,
if used right it's
better than likes because of the comments and fact that dislikes can also be given.

I personally never gave much thought into the rating system as a whole meaningful thing, but when someone rates up my art it shows me that they DID see it and it's a small form of feedback.
Otherwise it just feels like I'm posting stuff and nobody cares, so I'm less inclined to draw and FAR less inclined to bother sharing here when I do.
Otherwise yes, I just tend to upvote things that catch my interest (usually Umbreon or owl related things) and downvote when I dissaprove of something but don't want to make an entire post for it.
