Categorization, v.5 : 5 times worse !

Wed Aug 9, 2006, 7:10 AM
And I'm kind to say only 5 times.

The old one had its obvious flaws, but the new categorization system is such a pure piece of illogical crap that I'm seriously wondering if I'm gonna submit anything here again.

And I really wonder what happened to DA's "brain" to come up with such a unbelievably idiotic and narrow-minded system.

Well, the thing is, actually I kinda guess what it's all about, and I like it even less.

I'm so disgusted right now that I don't even have the courage to tell more about it. That said, I think the problem's obvious enough, for anyone who has the tiniest conception of what logic is.

If you really need extralights, please read 's journal [link] , it quite sums it up.

It's somehow gives me confort to see that I'm not the only one feeling really bad about this whole issue...

I'd have to agree... it's really discouraging me from wanting to submit things. All art is art. I hat ethe people who close out a certain style just because they think it's different. I know a lot of people might like it because they like anime style ONLY, but... you can't just classify things that way. I think the artists know this and are pissed - art is ART! Not "anime", not "manga", but ART!!!

J'espère que tu vas t'en remetre quand même ! cD

Je sens que t'es énervée là :XD:
T'as qu'à faire du Traditional art, ils ont pratiquement rien changé, c'est cool moi j'ai pas de problème lol

yeah, I miss the old dA. this version has some good points, but they're faaar outweighed by the bad. hell, the front page is so drastically colour-schemed that I get migraines!

Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec toi!

Si, c'est exactement pareil pour le trad... le problème c'est justement qu'avec ces nouvelles catégories, pour certains "styles" la technique devient secondaire.

Exemple, tu fais "de l'anime" (reste à savoir ce qu'on entend exactement par là) en trad, ben t'es pas censé de le poster dans traditional art. T'es prié de rester dans ton ghetto d'animeux, et une fois là dedans tu le mets dans la technique ce que tu veux, de toute façon ça n'apparaitra plus dans les catégories trad ni digital de ta galerie.

En gros maintenant sur DA t'as des sous-galeries entières consciencieusement écartées du reste simplement par rapport à leur "style". Non seulement au niveau classification c'est le non-sens total (tu dois choisir entre des choses pas du tout équivalentes) mais le style est quelque chose de bien plus subjectif que la technique utilisée ou le contenu : les conflits n'ont pas fini d'éclater. Y a déjà eu de la recatégorisation musclée par certains admins, qui pensent savoir apparemment mieux que toi à quel style tes dessins se rapportent...

Non, franchement ça craint u__u. Je ne suis pas juste énervée, je suis accablée devant cet étalage sans précédent sur ce site de stupidité et d'étroitesse d'esprit.

Well, imo the layout changes are quite unsignificant compared to this whole categorization nonsense... I don't really care if the site is ugly, I just wish they'd improve their classification system so that it would become fair, logic AND useful.

Why the hell don't they use tags or something, instead of these rigid and, to a even greater degree now, inconsistent categories. The search would become much more easier and efficient, too...
:iconsolkeera:
Chais pas, plus ça va et plus je suis écoeurée par leur philosophie à la mords-moi le noeud... c'est pas la première fois mais là j'ai l'impression d'être plus que les précédentes dans la ligne de mire, ça m'agresse.

yeah, I have yet to witness the submission system.. (nothing to submit as of yet) but the bugs are really what annoy me the most. I cant get rid of messages no matter how hard I try.. XD...

:iconsolkeera:
Mmh yes, there's the bugs too.
Automatic full view doesn't work anymore, either :/... there are many details such as those that ruin the whole "omg bright new version" event, sadly.

but not as much as this SILLY, DUMB new categorization XD (<< maniac style :D.)
