[The Warlock]

I feel the need to point out that all of the boards have this awesome feature called 'private messages.' If you actually have constructive criticism to offer, you can easily do so with private messages, and no need to 'call out' Bud or Taylor.

I've personally found them to be very receptive to criticism as long as it's A: constructive and B: how can I put it...not dickish? You know, couched as if you're actually trying to help them improve, instead of just listing a bunch of aspects that you wouldn't have done if it was you, but of course you're too busy saving the world or some shit, so it wasn't you, but you know, you could just do better.

Keep in mind: they are doing us a favor. BE clips are very much not their primary income, they're the most shared illegally, and apparently the BE community has a lot of people with a strong sense of entitlement, not to mention armchair quarterbacks. They're working hard to do quality work, that's varied, well-acted, and cheap.

Top that off with their frankly unprecedented level of community involvement, not to mention their active solicitation for ideas (they beg for them in fact), and the fact that they listen to our suggestions, and yeah, they are doing us a fucking favor. You all know they don't need to do this, and you all also know that none of you are going to put your money where your mouth is, take a risk and pick up where they leave off if they do stop making stuff for us.

Stop acting like you just got pickles you didn't ask for on your burger and start acting like you want to help them do better, like they've asked you to.

Christ.
