Hey Guys,
As much as I hate to point stuff like this out or give lectures, this is something that I've let fester for long enough. Lately on some of my blog posts I've been receiving comments with very suggestive and lewd remarks and gestures. Not only is this rude to me and my Blog Editor Katie, but this sort of behavior is unacceptable for a blog pointed toward a family-friendly audience. Most of these individuals have been left anonymous, so I can't point out specific people, but if this continues to be a problem, I will unfortunately have to shut down the comments section. I know this is an art blog about an OC and this may dig into some people's fandoms about Mario's franchise, but this is all in good fun. If the definition of fun is based on the comments I've been seeing, then I'm sorry, you do not have a place here. There are plenty of other sites and blogs that offer a little more freedom, but not this one. So with all due respect toward my friends and fans, please refrain from using explicit language and rude gestures in your comments. We will be doubling down on moderating to prevent other issues in the future, but we prefer it that it stops altogether. Katie and I are both human beings too you know. It hurts us both to read the comments to see such things, and to think that potentially younger readers could see it too is even worse. Apart from that, there really isn't much else to it, and I hope you guys look forward to this blog's antics going into 2019. I'll have a proper post for December later this month, until then Happy Holidays and blog ya soon.
Thank you
- Dana <3
