    And I don't mind "horrible things" at all, but I don mind them on the front page of DA. The mods should know their rules well enough to know that 13 year old's are on this site, and while I don't mind my daily dose of erotic fiction or art, it's nice to consider the minds of the youngster's and block out such material with a mature tag.

    "how many people censor their content?" Exactly, hardly anyone, that's the problems. And how are young people supposed to be careful when sensitive material is on the front page? Some stuff is artistic, other is just soft porn.

    I just find it curious that you would base your vote on the fact that people upload "soft porn" to DA. That drawing of poison ivy and the Joker you faved tells me that while you don't exactly mind some eroticism now and then you don't want to see it on every page.
    Either that or you are trolling.

    my bro!

    yeah i mean... i'm already HERE
    couldn't we just vote... HERE?
    wouldn't that make things easier for everyone?

    i mean i would vote... i DO want Deviantart to be more popular.
    (and yes, i noticed the Apple store/Google play links there)
    personally i don't like either corporations, and i wouldn't even begin to know how to do start voting, it's just a download link.

    "oh hey, you want to vote? you've gotta download this program, or register and make a new account on our site" or something like that.
    HAHAH...  NO? XD
    absolutely not?

    why should i be forced to download a program i will never use, will have in my computer for no reason at all, occupying a significant amount of space, or make an account to a web site that i never heard of or care for that might be permanent and request information they might exploit to send tons of advertising Publicity? all this to make a VOTE!?
    get real will ya?
    and what's this for or how is this going to influence Deviantart's popularity anyway?
    it's not explained here,

    oh PLUS it already won apparently, why this is still up puzzles me...

    ________________________

    this is basically the same bull-shit everywhere on the web
    "i'll give you a taste, but if you want the full content you must be a member or download a program to use or see the content"

    reminds me of like when i go buy potato chips or something
    there's a small container of toothpicks attached to it for example?
    makes no sense, i don't need those toothpicks, they are making the product i originally wanted more expensive and you can't just buy the chips alone.

    or maybe you want to buy a knife, a small, simple, kitchen knife, but they say:
    "sorry, we no longer sell knives alone, you must buy our Swiss army knife instead, because it has what you want AND more "
    or you have to buy the entire knife collection kit.

    this is what i like to call "bull-shit attached"
    some people are actually glad that they can buy shoes with lights in them
    or to have a phone that bakes pancakes but really... i just wanna use it mainly to phone someone....
    maybe send a message, or check the time or date, play some games, take a picture, make a video, use the built in alarm clock, surf the web, listen to some music perhaps... (wow that's a lot of stuff) but that's it, it's cool enough... it can stop right there!
    i mostly don't do all of this stuff to begin with.
    so why do i need to pay extra to have something in the original product i wanted, just to never be used, just to have it there meaninglessly?

    next time i go buy a certain product i'll ask "is there bull-shit attached?"
    if they ask what i'm talking about, i'm going example it by saying "you know... things i can only buy if HAVE to buy something else attached"
    and they say "oh... well then yes..."
    i don't complain to them, (because i know that despite them being the face of the corporation, they can't help what they are ordered to do and are not responsible for the the product)
    oh no, instead i go to the origin and say i will no longer buy their products.
    seriously what the hell? XD

    yeah i mean... i'm already HERE
    couldn't we just vote... HERE?
    wouldn't that make things easier for everyone?

    i mean i would vote... i DO want Deviantart to be more popular.
    (and yes, i noticed the Apple store/Google play links there)
    personally i don't like either corporations(i have my reasons), and i wouldn't even begin to know how to do start voting, it's just a download link.

    "oh hey, you want to vote? for that you've gotta download this program you never heard of, you're never gonna use, don't' know it's use and that is going to take up space needlessly;
    That or register and make a new account on our site adding personal information so we can keep sending you advertising publicity once ivery 3 seconds" or something like that.
    just for a VOTE?
    get real will ya! XD

    I agree, it would just be easier for a lot (everyone) if we could just vote here I don't own a ipad or iPhone ect. So I can't vote and yes I DO want to vote. Im not going out of my league to just vote. Like, seriously.
