One unresolved issue with fimfiction.... · 3:31am Apr 8th, 2013
Instant dislikers.
I'm not meaning to decide to go raid the clop files and see some fucked up story about a foal being raped for no reason than because they can and you dislike it. No, I mean I'm watching the message feed, and the second I get a message that my new story has been approved I click on it, follow the link to make sure it hasn't got any issues I'd missed, and I notice it hasn't even been looked at once post submission, and there it is, one big, giant fucking dislike.
It's obvious it isn't even a fucking reader, it's just some trolling ass that is apparently allowed to do that?
Apparently if I so chose I can just dislike away at anything I see because I can?
It's fucking ridiculous, and I'm getting tired of it. Now I get it, I'm not the best author, nor do I claim to be, but at least have the common fucking courtesy to read a damn story before decide to dislike it.
Shit, I wouldn't be so pissed if I didn't notice that this is a recurring theme that has happened to all my submissions post The Dog of the Lunar Republic with the exception of Life or Death.
There's no fucking reason for it!
The rating system is supposed to rank whether or not you have a good story, not a shits and giggles button you click when you please.
At this point guys, either they do something about this on this site, or I'm going to stop posting stories here and move to fanfiction.net or summat because again, this is fucking ridiculous.
I can relate. The same thing happened to my newer stories. Some guy's been doing both that and posting dead baby pics all over the site until he gets banned. Just ignore the fucker's existence, everyone else will too. We ban him when he's caught and he's been banned like six times. I know because he's been in humans in equestria and others trolling.
989877 But what kind of action is that?!
We let him fuck with us as much as he pleases till he get banned, then gets to turn around and do it again? Utter bullshit, and I will say, I've had my success in writing, like Sight or The Dog of the Lunar Republic, and I don't mind a true downvote, but when I actually do a story and people downvote for no reason, there are an ass load of people who see it and decide to skip it.
Also, I've come up with solutions for this before, I've messaged them to admins!
I've been nothing but ignored! I get it, admin are busy, but for fuck's sake this is getting out of hand! Would it really be so hard to do two things, put a report button on stories that need to be reported, and make it to where you have to leave a comment with a valid reason for why you dislike a story if you chose to dislike a story.
As in if you click dislike, comment that their grammar is terrible, or that their storyline needs work and doesn't make sense, and if you don't like a specific genre, then you just don't read it!
Really simple fixes to it, but no one does anything.
989890 That's because then the rare douchbag will realize that he can just report the story instead of just downvoting it, or give a bullshit comment. I'm not happy about these dicks, but that's not going to stop me anytime soon. Most people will still like my stories, just like most of us still enjoy yours. Life isn't always fair, but we drive on regardless. If you choose to abandon this site, I won't blame you. I'll understand why. But fuck, I'll miss your stories bro!!
Just saying, you still have some followers who like your works.
989922 I just meant I'd abandon posting on Fimfiction, but not the followers or stories, and as for reporting a story, well that isn't hard. You have to have a valid reason to report, you have to have proof from the story to back it up.
As for bs comments? They can be reported by the author to the admin and deleted.
Still not hard lol.
Also, got a new story out if it interests you.
The Daughter of Drakensdale Hollow
989931 Read time!!
989954 Lol
There is one person I know who likes to downvote stories all the time but their name shall not be said. I like your stories and if they downvote them... I see it as them being jealous because they can't write anything that good. The more they downvote, the more sorry I feel for them.
