#1That person is driving me over the edge. I cringe when I see submissions with that name on it. Forget to mention his punctuation and capitalization too. Will when/if I get a reply.
Your submissions haven't been improving and they will continue to dissappear unless their quality increases.
We want to help, but when you put stuff like you have been in the main site then it will continue to get flamed and then deleted. I know on some you have been trying and we can appreciate that and have said as much, but others show no thought really bug us and they dissappear.
It you have only a "sort of" idea, then PLEASE post it to Flesh it Out and let us help you get it to a point where it isn't wasted being submitted.
As it is, we will continue with the comments on the poor submissions that are inputted until you start putting more thought into them or allow us to help you through the forum.
We appreciate your time and ideas, but they need to be more thorough. The Citadel doesn't have high expectations, but we do have minimum expecations.
Thanks,
Strolen -

#3He's ticked me off so much that I have quit trying to help. I gave up when I restated what you said, strolen, and he attacked me and told me I accused him of plagarism. I don't comment or even vote on his things if I can help it, although I noticed some of my more recent items get very poor ratings suddenly after commenting on his.
Anyhow, do what you will with him, I will support any efforts to aid or censor him, however the citadel decides to act.
*sigh* :roll: -

#4Maybe I am the wrong person to talk to this dude? I might be crabby, all I know is I am no mood to deal with this so I was polite as I could be in my current state of mind. ((cringing in expectation of the tsk tsk I may get from Moonhunter))
You aren't going to get sympathy if that is what you are looking for. All we care about is quality and you ain't supplying.
Inspiration we can help with, quality we can help with. What we won't help with is half cocked ideas being posted to the main pages.
You may have some gems of ideas but they need to be fine tuned before you post them.
Our 'supposed' help can only go so far when there is nothing to work with. Much of what you post doesn't even give us an angle.
We WANT to help you fix your ideas. Post your ideas in the "Flesh it out" forum, tell us what you are thinking and we will help you come up with angles, just stop posting 1/4 ideas in the main site unless you are sure it covers what it needs to. This isn't rocket science and there have been many others that started out BAD but got good. Look at my first posts, they aren't the greatest either but they have a good solid fledgling ideas that just need some nurturing.
Don't give up, we don't want to run you out of here, but we can't justify leaving up some of your submissions either.
Let us help you with your ideas. Post them in "Flesh it out"
I am sorry that my writing skills are pathetic and pointless. And I wanted to be an author. Perhaps I just need an insperation, most of the time, I write anything so that you people don't think I'm just someone in the crowd. I want to be noticed, to be seen. Too long have I been ignored by both my peers and my family.
I appreciate the help you are supposedely giving me, though I feel as though this is only happening to me, as though I am the only inconvenience on this site. That is all I have to say.
Sorry that I don't live up to your expectations.
Sincerely(angry) Elfkin -

#6Man, what a whiner! I feel like I'm reading Luke Skywalker's diary!

Whaa haa haa! Nobody loves me! Boo hoo!
Jeez. He just want's any kind of attention, even bad, just as long as he gets some kind of recognition. Tell him to get off the computer and go cruise the mall or something. Arhggg!

Not only does he label himself a loser, he apologises for it! "I'm such a martyr, look at me!" Someone go get me a trout that has been sitting in the sun for a couple days so I can beat him with it!
*Seething Anger cools*
All right. How about this idea for being constuctive about this. When he posts his next thing, if we find it as severly lacking as his work often is, we move it to flesh it out, delete ot off the main site, send him a PM telling him where it is, and PM all the admins to come and CONSTRUCTIVELY critique it. We can give suggestions on where it could be better decribed or balanced, where it could go, and even point out the good parts we can find.
That will only pander to his attention getting devices, but if we can give him some confidance, maybe he will learn how to apply the creative process.
If he's still being a whiney shit, I vote we axe him. :evil: -

Sounds good to me. I have little time these days, but that little constructiveness concentrated from all the Administrators on one poor member... :twisted: let's see if he doesn't overload!
