Description For the people that don't read: This stamp is about NAME DROPPING in journals or alluding to people you don't like in an obvious way/linking their username or page so that it will end up having your watchers possibly flame them. This is inappropriate behavior on DA and honestly it only makes you look worse if you call someone out.

I feel that this needs to be addressed. Do you really need to name drop people you had fallouts with, or people you are fighting with at the moment online? Do you have to write a huge rant journal about people you don't like anymore?

Sure you can allude to it, but there's NO reason you should make it obvious and/or name drop and call people out. It's really cumbersome to read people's journals who constantly berate and bash people that they don't like anymore or keep going on and on about the past times of their friends that they had fall outs with.

Do you really have to lament about people who aren't your friends anymore? Or people who disagree with you and now you have a big fight? People don't care! And don't be all "Don't ask me about it, lol" When people WILL ask because they are curious and you put it out there in the first place. It just gives you the incentive to talk more shit about people as well. Don't say that " but they started it!" What are you? In pre-school? Suck it up and IGNORE it. It's hard but it will help you in the long run!


That, and just talking about any sort of quarrels that you had online that seems just too personal for your readers to read. Sure people love the juicy gossip, but it makes you look the opposite of classy when you are stating how much you hate some online member, even if you don't drop names.

I agree so much with you here. I think it's so bitchy to make a huge, long "OMG I HATE THIS PEARSON SO MUCH!!11!1! tHEY'RE SO HORRIBLE AND THEY DOnt DESEVE TO HAEV ANY FRIENDS!!!11", journal. One of my friends even did this a few days ago and when I tried to confront them about it, they ignore me. because no matter how omgsomeen you think that person is, no one "deserves" to get hate.

Yeah I've seen people make examples of people, I've done that before, but often times than not, the person linked will get trolled and harassed by people that saw what you posted and they end up removing what they posted.

That's why if I ever go and look at any of these types of "How not to act" and it's more than a year old, some of the links are not working or hidden because of that reason.

Thinking you can tell facts about some person (mostly someone you hate), actually tells more about yourself.

That's actually quite okay. I just don't like seeing when people say "so and so is doing this to me WAH." when they do that on my blocking stamp.

For examples sake, this is appropriate. Yeah, actually I've seen people do the "10 things I have to say to people" journal and these are one of them, except they go out and really drop the names down. But yeah she sounds like a whiny attention whore who's impeccably jealous of her former friend, lol.

Reminds me of something an old user named Solarspawn pulled, although he wasn't underage, he was quite the nutter. He too wrote a deviation and copy pasted all the people that he's blocked going way past 100+. He called this deviation "The Shat List" and people were trying hard to get on it, to the point where he'd have to remove someone to add someone if he got up to 300 people.

Though, right now he's banned and abandoned his ban evading account.

This is the kinda shit he pulled with people:

Yeah, calling out journals as well as screenshots are tools trolls use to counter blocking and hiding of comments. However if a troll who is blocked uses call out journal entries/screenshots to attack the one who blocked them, that could actually be the same thing as block evasion which is a ban offense right there.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

In-The-Zone In reply to HufflepuffBadger1978 [2011-09-28 17:57:22 +0000 UTC]

I've used a screen shots before, but It wasn't because I was attempting to troll, though it would be better if I blurred out the icon and name since people can end up trolling people just because they saw it in a cap, and I don't want that. (Hell, I probably should remove it.) I also used it because someone did block me and I didn't understand why since I never talked to them before. Another reason was proof to show the Da Staff that someone was ban evading. I rarely use caps, and I find a lot of people abuse it. Especially wannabe trolls that I've seen. It doesn't make one a hardass if they screen cap everything. It actually looks more dramatic than trying to prove a point. People are trying too hard to be trolls anyway around here, everyone and their grandmother is trying to troll and hardly anyone does it right anymore.

I kinda agree, call out journals, even for trolling is pretty bad and counterproductive. Essentially they really are trying to harass the other user using third parties, even getting other people riled up to go troll them

HufflepuffBadger1978 In reply to In-The-Zone [2011-09-28 19:22:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, not to mention it is a good way to get banned. The DA staff has taken recent steps in dealing with the trolls. For a while they actually considered keeping them around in case the new copyrighting law was passed but decided against it.

Trolls lack creativity in art so they come to DeviantArt just to attack other people in order to make them believe their art sucks.

In-The-Zone In reply to HufflepuffBadger1978 [2011-10-01 21:32:39 +0000 UTC]

There's been times I saw people who drew decently to advanced who trolled as well. Yes, most of the time we come across trolls they have empty galleries. It's just a way for people to stroke their egos. Once the trolling has commenced, they feel a sense of satisfaction for telling someone off, often times they will slap it down as critique or just opinion, when in actuality they're just trying to be a grade A asshole (even if their feelings they express are true).

Even more so, if they get a reply from the user they feel even better. Plus one if it's a disagreement. It's all they want, entertainment. The key is not to give in and reply no matter how coherent and sound they seem, a lot of the newer ones I find don't really care about your opinion, even if they express a seemingly valid debate. Just watch out, cause I've fell for it a couple of times. You'd think they want to share ideas for a debate but really they just want to ignite something so they can eat their popcorn and watch. P:

You know what would really help in dealing with those insufferable call out journal entries? Adding a feature to DA which notifies you when someone has posted a public link to your profile or any of your other works. Another part of the feature would be the ability to "break" unwanted links, such as those in call out journals posted by trolls.

You can find it on google I believe. It wouldn't necessarily help.

Call out journals are still considered bad I think, but I need to check the FAQ again, they keep changing it.

I just recently made a journal where I did link a name, actually. Never did it before in my life but was so pissed of at this person because she stole art and yet accused Another Innocent person of doing it..I needed it out of my system and I needed the hater out of dA.
Random bickering for personal drama however I disapproving of and never actually reply to. Note each other of your hate instead, don't bother me with it.

In-The-Zone In reply to WaltinaChan [2011-09-28 18:08:57 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for the late reply, but that is still deemed as inappropriate. Linking to the art theif won't let the Da staff take your reports seriously. In my experience, it always caused the reports to lag. Not only because so many people report, but some watchers will harass them. Even if the original artist requests not to comment, 10/10 someone always manages to ignore the artist's wishes and comment them anyway. Bullying the art thief into taking the stolen art down keeps them on DA longer.

Silent reports, in my experience made things go smoother and the staff has always taken it down faster. Help desk reports help a little more too instead of the report button on the bottom-right side of the deviation.

Um, I agree with you on this name-calling thing, but my first intention when I saw the stamp was to ask you why I coudn't adress my personal problems in my journal, and it made me angry. After reading the description I know that this doesn't target me, but still your stamp doesn't make it clear... but yeah, I guess that's not so important since it's just a stamp so... just wanted to say this. I'll go now.

You can address your personal problems in your journal. I do that all the time. But sometimes people just say too much, or things that can make others feel uncomfortable. And that's when it's not okay. It's okay to talk about your problems, but you need to realize you can't put down too much information or it's inappropriate. Your journal is on a public domain where anyone can read or comment. You just need to be cautious is all.

Hello? I said in my first sentence "I agree with you", so what is your problem? I said that your stamp gave me the wrong message and suggested you do one that makes clear that you are against bitching at people, not addressing personal troubles. For someone so eagerly against bitching and dramatising to write me something like this back is just - I don't know, pretentious much? Sheesh. So peace please, I didn't mean you no harm, just stated my opinion, and that's still on the list of things I am officially allowed to do here. And now let's chill out, arguing is bothersome.
