badgerskunk, nobody is calling you a n00b, newb, or anything of the sort,
I clearly realize that nobody literally typed the words NOOB, but I felt I was being treated disrespectfully like because I was a noob
but for replying like that, it's not very mature on your own part.
So now I am immature? I think you attacking me PERSONALLY instead of what I actually said is immature. If you cant handle a little conflict I dont think that it makes me immature.
It's great that your friend is majoring in graphic art, but that may be precisely the reason why his art may be so much better. I can tell you that very few of us here major in graphic art, so please do not compare our work to professional work.
How about NO. It is my right to compare what I wish to compare. How do you have the right to tell me NOT TO COMPARE work to work that is better, what are the criterion to which I must adhere when comparing artwork according to Xenocrates? Do I need to take into account education? What about age? Years working or amount of professional experience? Access to graphic editing software? Why don't you just send me the algorithm through which I am required to run all my possible judgements before making them so I can make sure and not get RED FLAGGED again by a power hungry moderator.
It's simply unfair because we do this for fun.
So your premise here is that it is unfair to judge artwork that is performed for fun, only artwork that is begrudgingly cranked out through hours of unenjoyed hard work are candidates for my opinion? Why? How do you make this inference?
I would advise you to think in advance how people will react to your words in the future, because what you said actually rubbed off as quite rude, whether it was intentional or not. Remember, tones and emotion aren't conveyed very well through pixels. xD;
So it is now fair to to impose infractions on members for opinions that are not appreciated by the moderators? Do I have to agree with everyone? Is this not an open forum? I understand the swaring bypass one but definately not the other. It is my opinion that you are incorrectly using the power you have on this forum without thinking about how you use it first. I think you are being disrespectful and trying to label me as an oustider just because im a NOOB.
