Azkoyen Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 The Graphics forum has always had it's problems with elitist assholes. These are people who think they're the bees-freakin-knees at graphics, and love to shove it in peoples faces whenever they can. But, more than that, they love to verbally offend the people who try their hand at making images. THIS WILL NO LONGER BE TOLERATED! In future if I (or any of my stick weilding buddys) see ANYONE flame someone for the lack of skill in the graphics department, you'll get a one month temp ban. Nobody is exempt from this. If you don't believe me, just try me. But Az, what exactly are you talking about? Here's some examples from some recent threads: f*ck off dickbag. Everything about the above post is wrong. ...the worst n00b pixel art I've ever seen, even peirce puts you to shame, dumb bitch. Saying a piece is terrible to your eyes is fine. Calling someone a 'dumb bitch' cause you don't like their work is NOT fine. *vomits* that's all. That is not criticism, that's offensive spam. Basically, I want the Graphics forum to turn from the Elite Hell it is today into a pleasant and helpful place to be. If someone posts something horrible, or newbish, by all means tell them what you think of the piece, but do it in a way that is innoffensive. If you don't agree with this rule, I'll give you a month to think about it. To all the people who are helpful and give worthy criticism, thank you very much for putting Quality time into this sub-forum. We the staff appreciate your efforts. Sadly, one or two wankers have damn near ruined the place. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/179773-attention-please/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyMothersMySister Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 /me jumps behind Az softly patting stick on hand! Well put, Az. It's actually shame this elitism exists as I believe there are some very talented people at Gtaforums. The 2 mentioned in examples are exactly who I'm talking about and it's a shame to see these type of posts. The need to add an albeit mild flame at the end of some pretty scything crit is not needed at all and after this post won't be tolerated. Come on chaps. I know you are all decent guys and this isn't worth getting banned for is it?

Long Haired Freaky Guy Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 *vomits* that's all. That's the one that caught my attention, and just proved that some of the vets on the forum think they are better then everyone else. But what they need to figure out is that they weren't so great back at the start, but over time they improved.

VideoPoker Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Shifty said "f*ck off dickbag" because the member posted an image in another person’s topic. He could have said it in a nicer way but he was just trying to get the person to stop hijacking topics and make their own. Ah well, hopefully there won't be assloads of people posting pieces the spent no time on expecting cheery comments because of the new rules.

Tenacious Gaming Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think this is a very good rule because i have have had some bad answers to my posts in the past for an example last night i got this - i was try in to help bigs out on some other graphics programs and this is the answer i got off moto Do you morons actually think he could list every f*cking program out there? Seriously, who gives a sh*t? It's not the program, it's the artist. And, for the record, Inventor is not a graphics program, in the sense that it could be used to create renders able to be used in graphics. It lakes the ability to render, it's purely for design visualization I wouldn't mind the second bit about inventor because that was what needed to be said but the first sentence was a good example of a bad attitude.

Azkoyen Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 Moto, you think treating people like sh*t makes them better at graphics? You're wrong. Try using your skill as a graphics head to TEACH these people how it's done. Hell, they might even start respecting you as a person, instead of fearing you as an asshole. ISd3d, you misunderstand. Anyone with a sense of 'treat everyone like sh*t' will be banned. The same rules apply here as everywhere else on the forum. Don't act so surprised.

Moto Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Moto, you think treating people like sh*t makes them better at graphics? It varies from person to person. You can't tell me that if we all sit around hugging the next lame f*ck coming in here is going to make him any better. And you have to know that most people aren't going to come here for the long run, so why not sift them out as early as possible? If they're serious about becoming better then they'll stay.

CrazyDude Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Moto he's not saying you have to suck off every new graphics kid but you can't tell them to f*ck off and die for something they were working on. "That thing sucks. You spent no time on it. You put no thought in it. You lose. Go and find some more examples of that thing you were trying to do and try again. When you have something worth a damn, come back and post it." ^Thats a post that a new guy could see and think "Uhh. Well I suck at life. I'm gonna get better. I won't post examples until I do." "You suck. That thing sucks. f*ck off." ^Thats not a post that helps any body. This section of the forum has always been filled with such negativity and there is no need for it. People suck. Not every one is naturally gifted with artistic talent. But that doesn't mean they cant try to learn.

Mewish Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 God damn I miss the good ole' days. And since when do you folk come into GFX anyway? In my opinion GFX should be like the user cars list at GTAzz. You get one chance to post something sub-par, but after that it's not posted. We would'nt be so harsh if people showed IMPROVEMENT. If MsNobody or whatever took all the damned advice people gave her and make something that didn't suck quite as hard as the last one she made then Chibbs wouldn't call her out on it. When did kissing ass make good graphics? We only bring out negativity to make ourselves known among the useless crits. I like the building. Good Job. What in the f*ck does that do? I want to see meaningless bullsh*t posts like this deleted, and then we'll talk about negativity. Fear is a good learning method. If the circle-jerkers know that they'll get verbally raped if they post crap, then they'll either leave or improve, which is what we want.

papanesta Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Mew has a very good point. Post with praise as shown in the example, are just as helpfull as telling someone to f*ck off. Almost everything has something wrong with it, nothings perfect, there is always something to crit. Its just how its put across.

Mewish Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Why is it we aren't entitled to our opinions anymore? Communities don't have to be heavily censored and kiddie-handled. The only things that are traditionally supposed to be monitored in an internet forum are things that could get the site taken down (warez) and excessive spamming. Some people are naturally mean and hateful. So f*cking what? Az to be honest I'd like to know why you've been so militant as of recently, is the misses making you sleep on the couch? In all respect or whatever, what sharp metal object got up your collective asses? We know you're trying to do everything in the forum's best interests, but this new n00bcentric and overcensored attitude is not sitting well with many of the members that have watched this community grow from the early days.

JLSoryu Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I agree completely, instead of saying things like "f*ck off and die" try being a bit more constructive. Fair enough the stuff might suck but point them towards something that will help them become better or give them some advice don't just post "f*ck off" The same goes for the otherway just like Mewish said, dont just post something like "it looks good" give pointers on possible areas of improvement or say why it looks good.
