Mods are allowed to express their opinion same as anyone else. Being constantly bombarded by negativity from everywhere gets old real fast.

april__ • 1 May 2014, 3:21 PM

There's no rule that states mods must be neutral. Like everyone else, we have opinions & being a mod doesn't make us unable to express them.

april__ • 1 May 2014, 3:22 PM

@poof We aren't fed up with users. We just don't like seeing such constant negativity.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:34 PM

It's not constant, i do post positive stuff aswell, again - if there's something that could be better i am not closing my eyes to that

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:35 PM

And this is not the first time i've seen a mod lash out on EC. Mods are maybe not supposed to be neutral, but they are supposed to-

bubblez • 1 May 2014, 3:35 PM

Well for what it's worth, I like the new creatures! The artwork seems to be getting better, & it's nice that EC is adding more of a variety-

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:36 PM

- make users feel like they can trust them with anything, and take things consideration, even if they don't like something...

bubblez • 1 May 2014, 3:36 PM

of creatures ;p

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:39 PM

I really don't want to continue all this, so yeah. Let's just say i am a negative person and move on.

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:43 PM

Oh how I despise users who mask insults as 'stating an opinion' or 'offering improvement'. Like no. Y'all just rude.

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:44 PM

And for real, what's up with everyone jumping on the artwork. YOU try making a bug look pretty, eh?

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:44 PM

@jupiter_hollow they're not insults if the person stating them is by far not the only one 😃

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:45 PM

As I've stated in another blog post, these are actual people with lives and jobs you are talking to. Their primary job isn't

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:45 PM

@jupiter_hollow i would if my tablet was up and working again, the reason i look at art critically is cause i have a passion for it

ladynymeria • 1 May 2014, 3:46 PM

I'm just laughing @ how people think they can spew negative stuff and then get super defensive when a mod says something.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:46 PM

Yes i know, and that's why i also brought up the statement of other sites like this. That is no excuse.

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:46 PM

to maintain the site, especially not while bearing such negativity, but, amen, they do so anyway.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:46 PM

If you can't make this work or give it all you got, why even.. you know? no point in making something half-way. -sigh-

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:47 PM

Stuff like this would get trashed on other sites like this :'D EC is lucky to have such quiet players is all i'm saying.

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:48 PM

Exactly @ladynymeria. You're my gal! @flashbunny Well, I'm anticipating the artwork then. Notify me when it's done.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:49 PM

@jupiter_hollow i did say my tablet was broken, and i honestly wanted to become an artist on here a few years back

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:49 PM

Go to other sites then, bro. You think this excuses you?

ladynymeria • 1 May 2014, 3:49 PM

EC has way less bugs then I see on neopets (which is a huge site that has been around for over a decade). I've only seen a couple here.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:50 PM

also, there is no need for such hostile behaviour, i was just stating an opinion, sorry if it hurt yours :/ i'm fine shutting up.

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:50 PM

I said I'll be anticipating it. Whenever it's up, you can take me up on my challenge and draw these creatures prettier =P

lynncrow • 1 May 2014, 3:50 PM

*facepalm* Put yourself in a mod's shoes, you can only do so much and are constantly criticized for something you have no control of.

ladynymeria • 1 May 2014, 3:50 PM

And who says they aren't doing their best? Do you know how many artists they have? Not every artist will live up to your standards.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:51 PM

That's why i don't go on Neopets that much lady 😊 But honestly, go and check back on the blog posts..every page has a glitch / bug on it..

lynncrow • 1 May 2014, 3:51 PM

Not taking sides, that's just how I feel. Yes there could be changes, there can always be changes, but just give it time. ^^

ladynymeria • 1 May 2014, 3:51 PM

And not every artist can stick around and give all their time to a pet site. We're lucky to get so many creatures.

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:51 PM

You're trashing the site. I personally love eggcave. You're, as previously stated, spewing negativity about artwork and then defending -

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:52 PM

every artist has their own personal style i like all the styles, again i did always state this that some styles -

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:52 PM

your opinion with the reasoning that you have a passion for it. Of course I'm going to defend the site. I have a passion for it.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:53 PM

- are just not suitable for such things. I shall shut up then. My apologies again for not having the same opinion as yours.

Meteoroid • 1 May 2014, 3:53 PM

I know people are upset about Qesque no longer contributing art to the website, but we can only make due with what is currently available.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:54 PM

I did not mean my opinions/comments on this to be harmful in any way, i'm sorry.

Meteoroid • 1 May 2014, 3:54 PM

Finding an artist that can accurately copy said style and meet other criteria for the website is so much easier said than done.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:55 PM

Yeah i do understand that @meteoroid it's not even the art i'm that mad at here...

Meteoroid • 1 May 2014, 3:56 PM

That being said, bug creatures are unlikely to return for a while on Egg Cave. At least in this quantity at once.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:56 PM

again, i'll stop here. my apologies to everyone who felt touched by this.

ladynymeria • 1 May 2014, 3:56 PM

@flashbunny R u serious? 1 of your main complaints on this blog was about the art.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:56 PM

Thank you, that's all i was hoping to see. That things were taken into consideration atleast.. not telling me to shut up about stuff..

Meteoroid • 1 May 2014, 3:57 PM

@flashbunny I was simply responding in general to the blog. 😊

Meteoroid • 1 May 2014, 3:57 PM

@flashbunny Things are -constantly- taken into consideration. Constantly.

flashbunny • 1 May 2014, 3:57 PM

yes, i said i liked the art for the most part D: and the comment on the wings was just some joke-y nagging...-done-

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:58 PM

@flashbunny Nobody was telling you to shut up, honey. Opinions are fine. Rudeness is not. You made no proper points, just insults.

sparklefox • 1 May 2014, 3:58 PM

Why are there so many complaints? What, because you don't like the artwork and the bugs?! Give me a break... <_<

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 3:59 PM

An opinion, if properly stated, is gold. Otherwise it's just annoying. =3 Furthermore, the collective opinion of the community has already

jupiter_hollow • 1 May 2014, 4:00 PM

been made clear. There is no need to further jump on everything. I rest my case. 😊

ladynymeria • 1 May 2014, 4:02 PM

Imo, people should only really take constructive criticism into consideration. That...wasn't constructive criticism at all.
