It’s always a double-edged sword with something like that isn’t it? To be honest though, I can’t see it as any more of a
magic horn waving contest than like favorites or upvotes or even the badge system. Some people are like that, yeah (I’ve even seen people brag about having uploaded an image they found that got featured), but I
still think the good aspects far outweighs the bad. Like Joey said, it also lets artists know that they’re improving and gaining an audience, and that their work is being appreciated. The single most heartbreaking thing that can happen for an artist is not having an audience. I stand by the idea that it wouldn’t be a mainline feature on so many art and media sites if it wasn’t an overall good thing that most people wanted.
But hey, you don’t know how awesome of news it is that you guys are even considering it, to be honest. I swear I will love all of you long time if you ever do it. That feature will, hands down, make this site superior to every single other site out there for a Brony artist as far as I’m concerned (It already beats them out for being such a lax, laid back, and welcoming environment with an all around good group of people).
Also too, truth is I honestly feel bad for implying it was an “already implemented” feature that just needed to be turned on. I’m dumb with computers, I won’t lie; I misunderstood that one mod’s comment and yeah, that was dickish of me. I’m sorry.
