Deviation Actions
Four or five people have said things about me and how I fave all their stuff. Two have posted screenshots of the notifications. Apparently this is a bad thing. I can see how it can be a bad thing in huge binge sessions, which I need to work on, but otherwise I'm not in the wrong here. I like your stuff, but can't really comment on it. So don't cuss me out, don't block me, it only serves to piss off both parties and further stigmatize deviantart culture.
**EDIT 7/19/2014**
Okay, seriously. People are still whining about this. One person (not naming names, but you know who you are) even went so far as to accuse me of STEALING their art simply by faving. Yeah, they equated faving to art theft. Okay, time for a little lesson on what art theft is.
The basic definition of art theft is: using another person's art, either in its base form or edited, and claiming it's your own work. If I were doing that, I would be editing all the art I like, removing the artists' signatures, and posting them in my deviant gallery. I am not doing that. I am simply faving them. The art still has your name on it and everything, I just put it in my favorites, so at most I gave you free publicity.
Accusations like this could make more timid and submissive people feel like they're bad just because they fave deviations they like (and no, I'm not overexaggerating--I have a friend who is very sensitive like that at times), and that is not okay. People need to stop being anal-retentive douchebags about getting faves and just accept them, comments or no comments.

Deleted Pony OC favorites folder
Saw how much the notifications annoyed people and how they wondered whether I actually liked their work or just faved randomly (I do like your work, I wouldn't fave it otherwise--there are just too many of you talented artists and dollers out there with your awesome pony designs that I get carried away), realized I was unintentionally being annoying and so I just deleted the folder altogether. No point to it anyway. Originally I meant it as a folder to gather multiple pony artists designs that I liked in one place for others to see so they could check them out that way I guess (that's how I found most of the artists whose works I favorited),
Oh look, I updated.
Good for me.
Whatever Happened to Robot Jones: My Headcanons
When Robot thinks no one's around or no one's paying attention, he'll sometimes hum or whistle video game tunes to himself. It helps him to concentrate on his work.
Robot is TERRIFIED of thunderstorms and the lightning that comes with them. When he was younger, he'd sneak into his parent's room and sleep with them whenever a storm came along. He no longer sleeps with his parents during storms, but he rarely gets any sleep when they have storms in the area, and often spends the entire night hiding under his sleeping berth. Occasionally, when the storms get really bad, he's been known to have "accidents," evident from the faded oil stains unde
HACKER ON dA BE CAREFUL!!
Got the Memo from Kristanni20X6
Apparently there's a hacker going around, hacking peoples accounts, and blocking YOUR friends so that they block YOU. You then get in trouble and banned from DA.
If you read this warning, care about those around you, you will spread this word, tell everyone so you aren't this guy's next victim. ALSO, If I block or say something to you that isn't appropriate for NO REASON, it's not me.
Please spread the word so no one you know is the hackers next victim!
Thanks for reading and pass it on

Ironically, I came here because you faved one of my pieces, isn't that funny?
I don't see it as a problem, it's not theft, some people on the internet have a tendency to overreact to things - shocker, right?
I don't comment usually because I have nothing meaningful to add and there's 3 other people already saying "cute" or "great", when people say things like this it comes off as fake - as if they are only doing art or drawing things for attention and to gain views.
The only time I've seen it be an issue is when there's so obviously a bot or script used to fav things to gain page views for themselves, it's extremely annoying when that happens ( it's happened a lot on DA ) but it's lame that people think like this, what an obnoxious and bratty thing to say...complaining about favorites? Seriously? You know there are wars and starvation in some countries right? Get some perspective, people. O_o
