who flames unnecessarily?I haven't seen much flaming just for the hell of it round here. b3ta is pretty good in that respect.
As for excessive...then you would be naughty-stepping an awful lot of regulars who are displeased at having their (or others) work pushed off the board by a noobie starting a talk thread or stealing an image.

WHAT??? A 60K IMAGE ON MY WATCH?*fail image*
I'd call that unnecessary, and much less productive than just being fluffy and pointing out their image is slightly bigger than it should be.

The only problem with lemonylast time I looked is the GIMP pages were broken.
It may be worthwhile writing an optimisation guide for GIMP. I would but unfortunately while I'm fine with JPGs I suck with GIFS :(

i had'nt noticed its flawsit's more about making the point that there are image size guidelines, who really ever read all of the faqs before posting? in my own case i didn't even have a clue what optimisation was
and went over size by a wee bit with a couple of posts. it was the lovely ms tutt who very nicely pointed out the error of my ways and i made an effort to sort it out thereafter. not ms tutt you understand but my size issues.

oh yeahi'm not trying to knock it much -- even though the photoshop bits are the ones that i've been able to read it's still helpful. there's a few things which are program-specific which don't work in the gimp (at least not for someone who doesn't know it well, which still includes me) which was my only real knock.

Most of the time that I've seen large images it has been:GSTQ posting his lemony link.
Someone saying 50kb only etc but not in too bad a way. (what I do, I've even offered to optimise a couple of times...)
There are a couple of twats that post fail, but not many
Then again, my bed time is about lunchtime in the UK and maybe I don't see it all.

It's generally worse in the UK dayshift.Perhaps because of people at work taking out their misery on newbies.

being nice is much easier than being a an over zealous nazinot as funny admittedly.
i tend to put the boot in only after trying to be nice a couple of times or if someone really is taking the piss.

You're joking, right?When I joined B3ta it was about four months after first looking at it and I still made sure I waited a week before posting anything so that there wasn't a nice L plate. Because while in the FAQ it says something like "You get a learner plate so that people will make allowances" what it actually means is "Come on everyone! Be a cunt to me because I've committed the crime of not knowing that the 50k guideline is actually a capital law!"
Not everyone has as much time to burn as I had at the time, so most people don't do this "sit around for months" lark, and then they get about twenty replies to their first attempt basically calling them a retard (which is also, I believe, banned in the FAQ. Not that those who constantly shout "FAQ!" appear to consider all of it of equal weight.)

Perhaps we should start quoting this at flamers.There is somebody really annoying on the board, is it OK to be rude to them?
Absolutely not. If you are really annoyed by another boarder, you can click the 'Ignore' button under their posts and everything they post will be hidden from you (you can always un-ignore them later if you like). Please don't be horrible to other people just because they are new, or you didn't like their picture, or posted something that bothers you. If you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything.
If there is somebody on the board who doesn't know what to do, you can always point them in the direction of this FAQ in a friendly way (or use the secret code).
There are moderators about to deal with people who abuse the messageboard, replying to somebody calling them a cunt isn't very constructive and will just encourage people to keep trolling.

Maybe I'm asleep when the really bad flamers come outbut I've only ever seen a good bumming given to those that post talk, spam, stolen or nsfw images and I think that's deserved, they should have read the FAQ and know not to do it. As for the 50kb limits there are some (no names on uncoded lines) that whip out a flail every time someone posts a 60kb image and maybe that should be stopped.

yeah i think the worst is during the daythe gayshift is a bit more accepting, perhaps because anyone wanting to post fail pictures would run out of inspiration ten minutes after doctor dyslexia started posting oversized images on the board, or perhaps because there's not so many stressed office-workers on.

It was hijacked by SPN, who hijacked Mongy's accountThey both thought it would be funny to post scat porn on the site using each other's accounts

the gayshift has a certain relaxed charmeven if i must confess to generally having doctor dyslexia on ignore. it makes the board a slightly more aesthetically pleasing experience if you're going to be around on the gayshift.
on the other hand, it can perhaps afford to be more relaxed because there's fewer people around. if ther'es a hundred people trying to post then it's a lot more irritating when someone posts total crap and keeps the board moving so fast.

welli seem to recall ignoring him in the past but he's certainly not on the list at the minute and i can't remember why i'd have ignored him in the first place. i've made an effort to take the whole thing less seriously in the last few months because i was becoming the kind of weird over-earnest freak that i normally laugh about...

there's nothing like a good flamingfortunately most people tend to get over them and come back for more.it still amuses me how intimidated i was at posting stuff on here and how bothered i got ( fairly short lived) when i either got flamed or ignored, i was a 40 year old bloke, done a degree in art with brutal crit's almost weekly, never mind all the shit i'd get at work. maybe it was down to my total lack of knowledge about message boards and my ineptitude with photoshop. before i started on here i'd never been anywhere near either.
now you can all just fuck off if you don't like what i do.

just out of sheer spite*clicks
we've all had some of those, mine are generally ones i've spent at least a couple of hours doing.
i love the vagueries? of the board. it's as much to do with timing as talent and of course being in with the cool kids.
i also prey that one of the 'star' posters or a complete numpty don't post directly after me, it's the kiss of death for any image.

vagaries, i think? or vagiaries.that one took maybe half an hour or so to get looking half decent, mainly because i was a bit out of practice and it was hard finding decent blood without trying to draw it myself. as you say, it's part of the board, and when you post. and whether everyone loves you.
