I really enjoy seeing this thread continue, but I think it would be prudent to cut away all the posts that contain no pictures, since the ones that just have words are causing flames/problems and I don't want to see the thread deleted just because a few people need to voice opinions on a board primarily about images.

Awwww.... to late. It was toasted just a little while ago for the very reason you were worried about.

AKA: Nadia (me) was getting tired of banning people for their behavior in that thread and decided to remove the offending thread.

Hey, I haven't been to fchan in a while, and now I see Ollie is DNP.  Stupid question: Why?  I mean, I assume he asked to be DNP, but I'm wondering why he did, since he's even contributed before.  Too many thick-headed fanboys?

Email him and ask?

So he didn't give a reason?  Okay, fair enough. ^.^

Please don't put words in my mouth. Artists contact Nadia to be put on the DNP list, I have absolutely nothing to do with that. So frankly, I don't know. Nor is it any of my business. I just don't see how asking us (in public, no less) is fair. I would think it is much more respectful to the artist to ask privately, hence why I posed that as a suggestion for you.

Raven is most correct. The DNP is my domain. Though I can tell when anyone else updates it (Xenofur) because he uses a slightly different method and it messes up my formatting in Vi. Someday I will have to talk to him about it - not that he has done anything recently.

Anyway to the point:
Artists don't have to give a reason if they don't want to. They merely have to be the artist in question. Though most of them do give reasons which I log away for future reference. And, I beleive in their right to not give the reason if they so choose not to.

However, consider this fact. Every time I go to a convention and am away from console for a few days in a row, either by choice or by design, I end up with more DNP requests for that period of four to five days than for all of the preceeding three months. All of the requests share common points. The most common can be summed up as 'Not wanting to be associated with a community as degenerative as is ours'. A clear side effect of my not playing den mother to many who post here.

So, in essence. When we are not patrolling 24/7 to deal with the trolling 24/7, artists notice and want to be removed from association with the trolls. Even artists who do exclusively /ah/ material.

It was not my desire to be unfair, Raven, and for that, I apologize.  For what it's worth, I have great respect for the mods here.  It is a thankless job, one I wouldn't want, and I am grateful to those who are willing.  Like my handle implies, I was just curious how it went about.  I didn't mean for it to be a big deal, which is why I was quick to accept your answer.

Consider me enlightened, and Nadia, thank you for taking the time to explain.

I was terribly saddened to see Ollie wish to be on the list, as he seemed to be fine with it considering he posted his own work here several times while people were nearly worshiping the pieces they added to the fan threads. I made sure to give a 'thank you' message in every thread for the fact he didn't seem to mind at the time.

I'm sorry to see him on the list, but.. what are you gonna do *shrug*
