2. No talent artists and tektekers -- This may seem rude but seriously. I hate when people are running art shops and charge hella high prices for art that frankly looks like s**t. And for the tektekers part, potential is one thing but I hate it when people act like they are the s**t because they can make a monochrome black and white tektek -- over 55 mil in price -- that doesn't even look good. Recognize when you aren't good at something.... seriously, it does annoy me sweatdrop

    Oh My God, I'm SO with you on that! Personally, I'm actually beginning to get more irritated by the masses of absolutely AWFUL TekTek Shops that keep popping up all over the Dressing Room. I swear to God, a three year old could literally create a better TekTek than all the examples in 90% of those shops.
    I mean, it's certainly not like not being able to TekTek is a bad thing... Hell, it doesn't matter at all how good of a TekTeker someone is or isn't... unless they open a TekTek shop promoting how "wonderful" their tekteks were, & how "talented" they are. & what strikes me as REALLY odd is that it's pretty obvious which shops in that forum have been around for a while & are well respected & actually have employees with talent & all... So why can't people just see their TekTeks aren't what other people consider good?

    (I've been looking at TekTek shops a lot recently as part of collecting more affiliates for Choque, so that's probably why I'm particularly fed up with shitty TekTek shops right now, lol.)

    Let's see...

    1) That Gaia allows tektek.org to exist completely "independent" of it, therefore creating an entire subsection of the Gaia community (that is, tekteks/tekteking) that Gaia/Gaia's side mods can't regulate at all. The way TOS plays out not only completely allows people to steal other people's TekTeks, but indirectly & unknowingly encourages it. I mean, they have rules against people using almost any image from anywhere on the internet without permission from the "owner" when making graphics, but tekteks -- a direct product of & large componant of Gaia -- aren't extended that same protection... wtf?

    2) How I frequently get at least 5 PMs daily from people asking me if they can buy a certain item I'm selling in the marketplace for a ridiculously low price (for example, offer 3 mil for a 10 mil item).

    3) The fact that at least 80% of people don't bother to thank me for donations.

    4) All the unjust banning & trading pass disabling

    5) The fact that the "Petitions" forum consists almost exclusively of people petitioning for the stupidest things ever. If you're going to bother petitioning to a website to make a certain change, then try & get that site to make a change that actually has substance & would actually benefit the people who use the site as a whole. I honestly get so disappointed in the people on Gaia as a whole whenever I visit the Petitions forum & see the billions of petitions for s**t like "colorful new jeans" & "a reverse OMG hat".

    6) How much Elitism there is among people on Gaia. I mean, what the hell; of all the places to develop a social hierarchy that's way worse than that of any middle school or high school I know...






Hopefully I have enough knowledge to understand number six, but I'll ask to clarify. Is that a...whats the word.....mannerism I often read when people put down others in an attempt to show off an "intelligence" they might possess to try and show off and make themselves look big?

Sorry for the run on sentence.

    Let me rephrase what I was trying to express there, because in retrospect I actually think my choice of words could have been better:

    I really don't like how cruel so many people on Gaia are to eachother, & how people get "picked on" & bullied all the time.

    That's what I should have said initially. Because ultimately it's not so much the Elitism that I can't stand (& yes, your post was correct in what I meant by "Elitism", by the way :3 ), it's the hurt people cause other people so frequently on Gaia for no reason at all.

    & it's just so needless & silly. I mean, everyone on Gaia is a "loser" or a "nerd" in one way or another, but the way people interact on this site so often reminds me of how the "popular blonde girls" pick on the "dorks" in some overly-dramatized "chick flick"... only the stuff people say to eachother on Gaia is far meaner.






This should be everyone's pet peeve. I really dislike going into those threads where people as for help and someone pulls a smug attitude and, in a nut shell, needs a swift high kick to the face and a a curb stomp > sad
