Okay I like to look at Fanart and why are all these excalmation marks? Okay one or two before a "name" is okay. But is it necessary to have a whole row of these things is your art really that surprising! Is it that good I'm going to knock over with a stroke? I mean you think that's really going to attract my attention? No when I see that I see Desperate all over it. No more! (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LoveDraco!!!!!!!!) type of Names, get creative your an artist for goodness sakes. Banghead Because literally it looks poorly upon the artist. Really do you think breaking grammar rules is going to make you look like a genius?

Putting such things before the name bumps the image closer to the top of the list in the galleries. We're workin' on that.

And some just feel the need to make ugly decorated titles. "!*~*WEE*~*!"

FAC has too many members who are just plain immature.

What happens is, when sorting pics alphabetically, FAC sorts them by ASCII order.

Letters (ascii #'s 65-80) are sorted after numbers (ascii #'s 48-57), both of which are sorted after symbols like quotations (ascii #34) and exclamation marks (ascii #33).

And when people can't beat a single exclamation mark for sorting, they just slap on another, and another, and another. You end up with all these exclamation-point wars between members.

Solutions are in the works. For example, perhaps it's time we had a general moderating panel of site staff [i]outside of[/i] the forums. E.g., ability to moderate/edit picture titles and ratings as needed to keep pics properly organized.

never mind that, there are flame wars going on everywhere that's never reported. Someone needs to put stop to those.

Seems like people just overdo what they're exclaiming to say. Which I find annoyingly ignorant.

Ability to silence/block user comments will help weaken the tide of flame wars.

I was thinking of some Deviant-Art style massive IP blocks, walls of shames and anthrax in the mail but those can work too.

Hmph you also have problems with Flames. I can't believe it, just remember the golden rule. Flame me once shame on you, Flame me twice shame on me. So that's basically how I do it. Sorry I just can't deal with the ignorant sometimes I do accept Progressive Critasicsim but not Flames. Hey I think it's cool for people to speak their minds. Perhaps people should just use better wording thats all. Cool
