Thread "What's the rules with comics?" in forum "Comic Talk and General Discussion *"

Seriously man, the mods can't change how many page views you get. Admins really don't have as much power as you think they do. If you genuinely think your page views are off, get a statcounter account.

Also, since your comic has been changed to an Adult rating, I'm pretty sure a user has to be signed in to drunkduck and older than 18 to be able to read it. So that would probably affect your pageviews, especially if many of your readers are coming from elsewhere.

Hey you know though that could just be the conspiracy theorist in me.

Yep.

That would explain it thanks. Now I will be writing a letter to Platinum I had no idea Skool monkee was going to f%@k us so hard with that s#%T. I think we'll take our 6k page views a day and growing & concentrate them on our site. Sad that after 4 years Skool finally got us good. I will be handling this how the big kids do lawyer up guys. I'm no little kid I'm a RL business owner who will contact the ACLU & the comic defense fund and I'm more then willing to pay a few bucks to start an actual lawsuit. Have fun explaining how after four years you arbitrarily punished me with a rating increase.

And I guess you should have fun explaining how explicit sex does not constitute an Adult rating. :/

Our content hasn't changed for 4 years. Skool admitted all the mods were very familiar with our stuff. So what changed? We can sure show harm from her actions. We went through the same kind of thing with project wonderful. I would hope that once Platinum realizes how serious we are much like project wonderful they will set things right.

Hmm the quacks are starting to come in from others who skool monkee has wronged. I'm not going to post this persons name but Skool Monkee can confirm this is a quack I received. I also would warn her against posting the persons name in anger since he might want to remain anonymous. I just post this as proof that she is not always the nice person she appears to be when running with her popular kid cliques. If your not in her friends circle she tends to treat you very nastily.

Hey Slimredninja,
I was reading your posts in the forum and I wanted to say that you have my support. I used to run a adult comic on here and when somebody mentioned it in a thread, the mod Skoolmunkie returned replies such as "folks showing support for one of their favorite simple smut comics" and "If the retooling involves drawing the comics instead of just tracing naughty pictures, then you have my support". I had never made a comic before and was testing the water and my abilities.

Neither I thought were particularily nice comments from somebody maintaining and endevouring to promote/encourage a community of like minded artists. It is clear that admin-ship means steering the ship towards what she prefers.

Anyway, what I am trying to say is.. don't be like me and get totally pissed off and jack it all in, fight on brother

I know exactly what this refers to since I was the one who started the sig banner campaign to bring back that comic.

I can't see anything remotely offensive about the comments Skool made that you quote here - I thought they were made with her usual good humour and that's a big part of what I love about this site. If you don't love the site, why stay? You're posting as though you're the victim of some oppresive system, when the only reason for you to be here is personal choice - PQ me if you're not aware of alternative hosts and I'll post you a list.

As for being featured:

Glad to see you've got back into the top 10 though.

Show of hands for anybody who thinks you deserve to be on the front page twice?
Features are there to tell us what we don't already know.

So if anything, the mods would get in trouble for not changing your rating earlier.

But really, you're a grown man. From the descriptions of the ratings, you should have known that an A rating was appropriate for your comic to begin with.
Skoolmunkee just did something that should have been your responsibility to do correctly years ago. Stop acting like a kid.

Every mature comic will have to be gone through to make sure they don't contain adult images. It will turn into a witch hunt with lots of bad feelings. As for leaving I love this site and have lots of friends and fellow creators who have done Morning Squirtz for us. We even won an award this year for being deliciously offensive. To bad Skool had to be so unprofessional yet again.

I suspect the same "someone" who sent the pq is the same someone doin a eleaborate troll as was said earlier 4 publicityy

Posted at 5:01PM, Jan. 16, 2010

Wow, you're completely ignoring what I'm saying to you. You are an adult. It should be your responsibility to make sure that your comic is appropriately rated and not being shown to people who it is not appropriate for - in this case, minors.
You showed us all how immature you are not only by not rating your comic responsibly, but by complaining about it when someone else had to step in and do the job for you.

I guess maybe that reply is kinda unprofessional. Oh man, that's the fourth incident of my being mean in my 4-year history adminning this site, what will I do? :(

Anyway it's becoming pretty clear to me that this is all slimredninja's way of trying to get himself publicity.

I strongly suspect that the 'sent PQ' is fake, because again I'm called a 'mod' there, which I already called out slimredninja for repeatedly mislabeling me as, and the repeated problem of misspelling my username, which slimredninja also keeps doing. I'm checking up on whether that has been faked with the person in question, and if it has been, slimredninja will have hell to pay. Whether the unnamed person actually sent the PQ or not, this thread has ceased to have any real purpose other than as slimredninja's platform for his increasingly idiotic and insane conspiracy ideas. He's just ignoring all the reason that people are presenting him with and keeps coming up with new superfluous arguments to try out.

I don't have any problem with someone trying to get attention for their comic, but I have a major problem if they do it in a drama whoring destructive way. slimredninja has suddenly popped up on the forums again now that his comic is back in the top ten, and he's trying to play games just like he has before. Given his past of exploiting things because "no one said he couldn't" and "other people were doing it" (and now "no one minded before" ) I'm strongly inclined to think that this is all a stunt.

slimredninja, if you have an actual issue with any of the admins or their actions on the site, please do contact Platinum. Doing things like this on the forum aren't actually going to get you anywhere.
