A Friendly Art Portal Reminder

Posted by SourCherryJack - August 11th, 2014


Hey everybody, a few weeks ago I noticed that in the Art Portal there are very few people actually voting on submissions. After noticing this I realized that I too very frequently simply do not vote on submissions unless I think they're super awesome or depressingly awful. So I went back and took a look at some of my work and noticed I average something like five to eight votes out of an average of like three hundred views (depending on amount time the submission has been up). Now unless it's a very popular artist like Shadman, or Deathink I'm sure a lot of artists get this and I think that it's a little frustrating so for the past month I have made it a point to vote on every single submission to the art portal when I look through it. It's really easy to do and even if it's just a number it does make an artist feel better to know more people took the time to leave even a tiny bit of feedback on something they put time into, at least I feel better knowing that so I'm assuming it holds over for others here too. So yeah, just a reminder, rate the artwork you're looking at it's a nice thing to do that really doesn't require any effort.

I agree! I've been doing the same for a long while now. Voting on anything anyone sees here should be everyone's habit (unless you really don't know what you think of the submission)

Yeah this is very true. I usually vote on anything I watch, but I hardly check the portal anymore. I almost only check stuff from my faves and the frontpage. The already low number of votes went down a bit more, since you can only vote when you are logged in. I get that it's supposed to stop spam voting, but many times people don't bother to log in to vote or a rare random visitor doesn't even have an account. Thanks for the reminder, I hope actively voting becomes a habit on NG again.

Oh, I didn't know about having to log in now to vote, that explains a lot about the low numbers of vote in relation to views. I guess we gotta take the good with the bad on that one.
