Do us designers a favour and try not to change your name as often as we change dirty underwear, because this is becoming a joke.
For example;
http://www.ambrosia-servers.com/community/index.php?topic=18136.0This user decided to change his forum name just 4 days after he received some high-quality design artwork from me. Four days?! I spend time designing users the images that they want because I am a nice guy. I'm also motivated by the fact that I am an Administrator of this community, so I like to give back. However, most of the time you guys have no idea what you want and you fill in graphics request form by saying "
I don't care" for every option. Some of you then don't like the designs we've churned out. You should try and input some ideas that you like the sound of. That way you don't waste the designers time by telling them you don't like what they've designed for you. Which isn't our fault, especially considering we have nothing to go on.
To go back to demoN (LEGION, RFX, and others names he's used this week)... What annoys me most is having to sit back and watch you guys change your user names on a daily basis. Which, by the way, is you practically urinating on us after we've spent our precious time trying to satisfy YOU. Now I'm sorry, but I'm not the type of person to sit back and take such disrespect on the chin. The way many of you behave is completely selfish and COMPLETELY disrespectful. You ask us and often beg us to design YOU something because you're too inept and untalented to design it for yourself (of any quality at least). Then when we, or I, have spent hours completing your requests we're left to watch you ask us for another design a week later? - or change your name entirely? Sorry, but allow me to pull you down a peg. Start behaving like respectful individuals who actually use the things you have begged us for. You do realise people have to pay real money for some of the designs I've churned out. Time costs money my friends. So not only are you fortunate to get these sorts of things for free, but you're also taking the piss by just dismissing what you've just been given. The fact you throw our time and work out on a whim is hilarious. Completely ungrateful individuals who've no idea how much they insult the people who days later they were begging to make things for. How dare you.
I hear such excuses as "
Sorry I like to change my signatures every few days because I get bored" - Are you frickin' kidding me? How dare you. How dare you sit there and say "
I only like to use what you spent hours making for me for a few days because I get bored". Each and every time you want to change your signature it's OKAY for you to come on and beg someone with some level of skill to design something for you? No. Especially not if you plan to change your name, or use it for only a few days - Then no it's not ok. Have some respect would you? In any other situation in life when someone gives you a present - Which is basically what you're being given because
you are not paying us for them.
Please please please make this for me Jay. I love your designs Jay. Sorry I didn't like my random name RFX so I've changed it but could you please please please make me another signature with my new name which I will have changed by tomorrow morning. Please!I would never dream of being so disrespectful as to ask for an individual to make me something that I know is of high quality and takes time to make. But naaaah, I'll stop using what you've made for me 3 days later because I'm still trying to decide what I want to call myself because I'm so professional I want to go pro on a good counter-strike name!! Now I'm called RandomName today, can you make me a signature again please. Oh wait, it's Tuesday today. I need to change my name again because I'm unhappy with Random, but can you make me another signature today please. I love your design you're so good. Please!
You're getting a free service here. But in this case free doesn't mean sh*t. Furthermore, it is out of the kindness of the designers hearts that they are completing your requests and this is how you repay us?
To make the situation even worse. Take a look at this boy. "demoN", or as he was called "RFX" at the time. So I designed you a professional image with the text 'RFX' in it, which took time and I stayed up late to finish your request before the night was out. I would normally get paid to design company logos or website splash images of this quality.
Now, 4 days later I decide to take a look at the completed graphics request forum. Wait a second I'm struggling to see RFX in that list. Oh wait, you've decided to call yourself LEGION now and changed your signature to this god awful image;
You replace the work that took me hours to make with a stolen image? Are you kidding me? The most ugly text slapped in the bottom left corner of the image - over professional art work that takes 10x longer and is infinitely better in quality? Wow. Brain dead. And all because you want a username that doesn't suck balls?
Obviously this signature says demoN because, wait for it... You managed to stick with your username/ingame name of LEGION for a grand total of 14 hours. Hahaha... Jesus christ man.
Now imagine if you requested me to design you more work under the name LEGION? You'd have thrown it away by the very next morning because you've decided to call yourself demoN instead. Now I've been discussing the behavior of you lot on Teamspeak, and they think you're all acting incredibly selfish and rude for throwing away the time and effort that we, or I, spend designing for you. Other friends seem to think you're all being
c*ntish for getting us to make you things and then you dismissing all of the work we do for you.
Have any of you ever wondered why the moderators of this forum only moderate it for a month or more? No? Because it's ungrateful people like you who make them resign. Some of the previous moderators have been exceptional graphic designers, with a lot of talent. That very same talent is what people PAY $$$ MONEY $$$ for. You people are getting it FOR FREE. Asking for graphics for free when really the quality of designs I've done for you would cost any normal person $5 or more. Just to watch you throw it away because you fancied changing your user name for the 3rd time in as many days?
So when you're asking for someone to design you something - Make sure you're not going to change your user name tomorrow or the day after. Or actually, maybe you can design your own signatures. That way you won't beg us to do it all for you and then you can throw your own designs out the window whenever you please. Or maybe we can start begging you to design us some images. Then you can sit back and watch all the art work you make get misused, thrown away, dismissed, everytime we decide to change our name or 'get bored' of the work you've kindly taken the time to make for us.
Maybe then you'll learn to be more grateful. When that day comes I'm sure all the previous moderators and designers would be thrilled to make designs for people who ACTUALLY APPRECIATE THEM.
For those who like to see the processes behind such design artwork, go to; http://www.ambrosia-servers.com/community/index.php?topic=18195.0 There you can see the effort some of us put in to making designs for people. So think of that the next time you just fancy changing your name or get bored of the art work we do for you. It's like asking us to paint your fence for you. But you then whiping your ass on your fence two days later and asking us to repaint it.
