(the s was intentional)

Please take note of some things:

A): Do NOT add my new account if you are not the sort of person to comment/note at least once a week. It gets rather tiring trying to sort through my DA list and finding people I haven't seen around for more than 40 weeks.... and since DA is an art site I'd like only to be watched and to watch people who are friendly, yes, but who also maintain an interest in helping me improve my art or simply telling me what they like about it, etc. Critiquing AND socializing is fine; socializing and not critiquing is NOT. I have a Myspace for that as well as several IMs and email.

B): Do NOT comment my page saying "thanks for the fav" or anything to that effect. While I'm pleased that you're grateful for my adding your work, I didn't do it to earn brownie points and all those "thanks for the fav" comments serve only to clutter up my desktop and make my DA screen run horribly slowly. Yes, I have a shitty computer.
C): DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT EVER LEAVE ME COMMENTS THAT CONSIST MERELY OF SMILEYS OR MONOSYLLABIC RESPONSES like "cool" "nice" "thanks" or anything of the sort. Again, that only clutters up my page uselessly.

It may seem like I'm being anal-retentive.
I am.
This place was supposed to be an art site. Not MySpace, and not Anime Central. (major pet peeve there.) So while I don't mind socializing in terms of notes, I'd prefer if the comments left on my page and my deviations (when I start uploading) actually pertain to the work and inform me that either I'm doing well or I could use improve on (and elaborate here).

oh. And one more irritant to get out of the shell:

DO
NOT
FAVORITE
ANYTHING
WITHOUT
COMMENTING
FIRST.

I cannot stress that enough.

Okay, enough comment Nazism. XD. Try not to hit me, okay? I'm trying to improve my DA experience. So to speak.
I'm posting this there, too, so if you don't see it here you can't exactly use that as an excuse.
