| Frequently Asked Questions |
Occassionally we have had behavioral issues with some members of the oekaki. In order to ameliorate these situations, the following notices were posted on the forum by Andria, and eventually moved here. Please pardon the harsh tone. :)
Neoartists is not an oekaki for children. While we have no strictly enforced age limit, we do ask that everyone behave like adults. If you cannot handle yourself maturely, please find another oekaki to draw on.
- If you cannot handle polite, constructive criticism on your artwork, you are not mature enough to draw here.
- If you talk about other members in a negative light behind their backs, you are not mature enough to draw here.
- If you cannot handle disagreements privately, or discreetly bring them to the attention of a moderator, you are not mature enough to draw here.
Enough of the sulking and depressing bullshit on the oekaki and forums. Really. Enough!
When someone else gets praise or a compliment, that does not mean that you are less of a person because you did not get complimented as well. If you do not like it... please, keep it to yourself. Do not whine about how you wish someone would compliment you. Let the person enjoy the fact that someone appreciates them.
When someone enters an oekaki contest with a really fantastic drawing, DO NOT post that you were going to enter but now you will not because your work does not compare. If I see that one more time I will totally lose it. It makes me sick. Your self pity brings other people down. We don't need it. Really. Your message will be deleted and you will be warned. If someone else does post this on a drawing, please either ignore them or report it to a moderator.
It's fine to be unhappy, I can accept that a lot of people are depressed. I have been there myself, and I have close friends going through it right now. That does not mean that you have to whine for attention, or bring others down. Express it in your art. Talk about it honestly. It is not like I am banning everyone from being depressed. You can still rationally discuss it here, or draw the same things you've always been drawing. But it is not fair for any of you to negatively impact anyone else here.
This has been going on for far too long and I'm really at my breaking point with it. Others have complained to me as well. So it stops now. If you have any questions about it, please don't hesitate to ask me. I am sure I sound big and mean and scary, and yes I am baring my fangs right now, but I am still the same Andria as always. <3 Just trying to make sure this is a fun place for EVERYONE. :)
