Exactly. Honestly, I don't give two flying farts if people don't like my photos or judge them (lol) because I edit them. Oh the horror of using GIMP on a screenshot taken of a video game (LOL)! I'm feeling salty tonight. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not usually an issue but occasionally it happens with someone on whose "recent visitors" list I really do not wish to appear. I also wish the "now viewing" function didn't exist. And even better, there's no way to disable or hide it. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially so if it's a creator group, someone asks where to get a product by that creator, I link it and some helpful moderator chimes in like "please don't post links in chat". Okay, I'm sorry for daring to help someone send you money. SL in general desperately needs fewer cargo cult rules that serve absolutely no purpose. I assume the idea is to avoid phishing links, but then you could just forbid those. Because if a moderator is actively watching the chat, they can be selective. If not, those phishing links will still get posted. And they have arbitrary rules on which stores or sims are forbidden to uttered like Voldemort. "This store is not allowed in chat! That store is not allowed in chat!" Not allowed, not allowed, not allowed ad nauseam. How anyone could keep up with their laundry list of the prohibited is a mystery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these armchair paper pushers are doing is making life uncomfortable for the majority to give themselves an excuse to punish the victims of fraud. It's kinda sick.

People will avoid certain people who post actually good pictures because they want to be petty and then like pictures that are clearly crappy but to spite the user they don't like.

If you have read some of the threads about 'likes' in the forum, there are different reasons why someone might choose to like a picture in the avatar forum threads. Additionally, sometimes people are away from the forums for a few days and do no go back and 'like' pictures that were posted during their absence - sometimes I fall into that group. In a few very rare situations, the topic of a picture has left me feeling very disturbed for some reason, and I have not been able to like it. I think in general though, with any type of art, the more of an outlier in topic or style, the more risk that there will be those who will not like it. Of course the opposite could also be true. The most important thing I think, for anyone, is to just keep working on what their artistic vision is, for themselves, and keep putting their work out there - over time people may come to appreciate them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon most languages have something similar, as the expression is from the Bible (Pericope Adulterae), when Jesus tells a crowd who wants to stone (i.e. execution through throwing stones, not feed cannabis) an adulteress: "Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her". In Sweden we say 'Kasta inte sten i glashus' (don't throw stones in houses of glass). Alternatively 'Kasta inte bäver i timmerstugor' (don't throw beavers in log cabins). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I know that part from the bible. Would be interesting to know at which point people in several countries added a glas house to the whole stone throwing.

We use the glass houses bit in the US, but I am going to start using the beaver one to see if I can get it to take off here. “Those who live in log cabins should not throw beavers.” 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Macbain Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 It infuriates me when someone responds to a thread started weeks ago with the same answer fifty three other people have already given. It reeks of self-importance and obliviousness. The thread is below 20 other ones, has two pages of responses, and you are too entitled to read any responses and you assume that no one else has given the bloody obvious answer of 4 when someone asks what 2 + 2 equals?

Simo Vodopan Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Surprisingly there isn't too many for me, I tend to be a laidback "It's whateves" sorta guy, but I guess the lack of putting effort into an av might be one thing (I love my attention to detail is one thing I will admit on), otherwise? It's coo, I've been studying the art of 'Stoicism' as of late and it's helped immensely with these sorta things. When you manage to get into that mindset it's like nothing bothers ya from people. The ancient Greeks and all of those other sorts of philosophers had so many great points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost forgive someone who comes into a thread that already has 53 posts and then gives the obvious answer that someone else posted three pages back.
