So whenever I have posted, I will get my posts moved into different categories, and I am told that I should only post art. I have also gotten told to not use slang and to use understandable English. I have not used slang ONCE on this platform, yet I am getting notifications on how I can’t say that stuff because it does not have any “deep meaning.”
Also, it is VERY clear that some of the art on here is AI, and that rule should be enforced more.
I will not say names, but a person has come up to me and have made me uncomfortable because they were messaging me FULL PARAGRAPHS on how this isn’t discord. Sir, I know this isn’t discord. They also were complaining that I hadn’t responded to him quicker. Sir, I am in school, and I can only use my computer in some classes. I’m sorry I didn’t respond to you sooner, but please consider that not everything runs on you’re own time.
I think that we should be allowed to post whatever we want, and only have 2 categories; one for art, and one for posts that don’t include art.
I apologize if this has offended people, but I felt the need to express my feelings.
That was because you had chosen the wrong categories, this one is absolutely correct (if it wasn’t moved by someone else).
I never told you to only post art. Perhaps you
misunderstood something or did you misinterpret the template I added to that PM which is a general template I often use for anyone, not only you, it was nothing created explicitly for you, it was only made to describe how our categories work. Or did someone else told this to you?
You can post in any category that fits the topic of your topic, artworks belong into artworks, other things in their dedicated categories.
Apart from this topic, you’ve only created two other topics and one of those (called ‘New People’) had its content moved into the ‘Introduce yourself!’ topic by a moderator, which is where it belonged.
The other topic which you originally called ‘Confusion Bro’ had its title extended by a Regular member to add more information to be of benefit to everyone here.
It also had its category changed from ‘off topic talks’ to ‘Site Feedback’ which is a more appropriate category for the subject you wanted to discuss. That topic is still active and open.
As far as I can see, the changes that were made were appropriate and of benefit to the forum as a whole.
So, ‘whenever’ seems to be just once, so far.
If you feel strongly that any particular post is a cause for concern then this should be reported to the moderators by using the Flagging facility.
(I’m not sure if you can raise a Flag while you are a new user.)
The Flag icon is obtained by clicking the ‘three dots’ icon at the end of someone’s posted content.
If you don’t have that facility then you’ll have to wait for it when your Trust Level on the forum increases with regular logins and engagement on the forum.
(If a matter is serious and needs the attention of a moderator then you can send a DM (Direct Message) to ‘moderators’ in the messaging facility of the forum.)
Life is not that simple and neither is this forum.
I am very aware that life isn’t simple, trust me, I have had a hard life. But I do not understand why we need so many categories, it gets very confusing for new people like me.
Because different people have many different interests and concerns. Having many different categories helps people to find what they need in the Search facility.
I’m trying to imagine a supermarket where everything was in one big pile with no organisation, instead of being stored in labelled aisles.
Anyway, that’s enough with analogies, they always break down eventually.
Decent use of slang is not forbidden, I really guess you did misunderstand many things from my PM. But I don’t know, I can’t read minds and only said it should not be overdone, I also said that in our off-topic category no one will say anything if it does not go full crazy (and even then, it is off-topic, so what?). Somehow I have the feeling you are not able to understand more complex texts, but your own posting tells otherwise.
And perhaps you remember, I also said that I am no official, so no moderator or administrator. What I wrote, I wrote as a helping hand not as a law.
We agree with you that AI art doesn’t belong here. Please flag any image you see that you know to be AI.
Re all the categories, every now and then I accidentally post something in the wrong place and it has to be moved. It’s just part of keeping things organized and not an insult.
It seems you only ever read as far as you like (or dislike) it, and then I don’t know what happens to you. Of course, I can’t know for sure - I can’t read minds - but it feels as though something just switches off in your head at some point. In any case, that’s not the tone for this forum, sorry.
It also seems you haven’t read the whole sentence you’re getting so worked up about here, and so you’ve only grasped part of the content and drawn an incorrect conclusion from it.
Yes, (on the one hand) I mentioned that I have the feeling - not the certainty - that you wouldn’t understand complex texts (your breaking down of the sentences does indeed suggest this), but on the other hand, you demonstrate with your post above that you are perfectly capable of handling them (that’s the ‘on the other hand’ part), and that is very contradictory.
Apparently, you have an ‘interesting’ way of dealing with other people’s texts. One should read a text in full to grasp its message and content; it seems to me that you do exactly the opposite.
But since you clearly prefer to feel attacked here, and are also throwing around the worst insults, I will ignore you in the future.
