Tracing accusations...

Hey, DA members.  Today I saw about 30 journals in my submission box concerning the recent "rude" response of an admin while handling a trouble ticket about traced artwork.

Not one of the journals actually linked to the artwork.

One journal linked to a screenshot of the supposed conversation with an admin, and I didn't see anything particularly rude about the response at all.  It more or less showed a neutral way of saying, "we don't believe it's a trace".

Here's a tip: if you're going to flip your lids and start pointing fingers at admins, it might be a good idea to actually link to the offending artwork so we can determine for ourselves if the artwork is actually traced or not.  All I've heard so far is an endless stream of rage about how DA loves tracers and how much the admins suck.  In bold underlined text.

I suppose I could waste my time trying to hunt down the drama myself, but it would be so much easier and more convincing if, you know, people would just show some facts and references once in a while.  I'm interested in site policy and admin behavior, but I have no interest listening to a pack of impulsive pre-teens mulling about how much the world sucks.

Mob mentality is not a pretty thing.  Don't let it happen to you.
