dA screw up?

Tue Jul 14, 2009, 10:44 PM
please read this as this may apply to some people [link]

its about the recent change to our profile not to big but has casued quite an uproar...why is that well read the article

well as started in the article 2 things have changed when you have not got a subby instead of saying 'not subscribed it says 'needs premium membership' at first this didn't bother me but when i read that article it shead some light into what it was doing it makes us without subby or PM's seem like beggers and this is NOT okay espiecally since i dont have a subby and this really annoys me to see that granted yes i would like a subby or a PM but thats up to the discretion of other people to give away something or for me to win a contest either way until then my page is gonna seem like its begging which bothers me...

the second thing is that if you DO have a PM or a subby (i believe) it will appear on the page you gifted the person too losing all privacy there was in giving the gift in the first place then possibly attracting beggars whcih also then has a knock on effect of making people stop gifting altogether and this has also caused many people with subbies and PMs to question dA with this update on top of that this isn't as big and may not bother some people as much because of privacy but may do because of credit rights, if you gifted a person but already had a subby gifted to them the person who gifted them before stay on there until the amount of time you gave them the subby dissapears which means they are getting more credit that is unless the email thing still applies...i dont know i dont believe it mentioned about that in the news article...

lastly your name itself apparantly if you have a PM your name will change to deviant to premium member i dont however know too many details or at least understood it so its better if you read the news article....

all i know is this applies too all of dA so i thank you for reading this and i would also like to hear your views on this taking people like me under consideration....

as a matter of fact i actually found a staff member replying to the news post with some unipressed people replying to it... [link]
you want to see it go ahead amuse yourself...

i do believe dA has screwed up this time even if this IS only in testing stage this is still unacceptable...:unimpressed:

yeah when i read it about it rubbed me up the wrong way and to be frank (excuse me for being a bit offesive or harsh here) i dont need a damn Pm or subby i would like one but i dont need one U_U'...its as other people quoted in their comments we need food, water and money but do we need this? no its a luxury that we can get subbies and PMs not something we need to live our everyday lives......rubbing their 'great' features in my subbyless and other people subbyless face is one thing but this (no offense btw i dont mean to offend you merely by have a subby lol ^^; ) ...DAMN! :pissedoff:

yeah i dunno now though because im starting to think a subby and a premium account are two different things what i dunno still though it makes me outraged to see me reduced as much looking like a lowly begger to those new to this site...so it kinda rubs me up the wrong way ><
