Does anyone get bothered by "name of artist" shared a post with subscribers

[vocaloidno1fan]

i don't think it's all that terrible until you're subscribed to a LOT of comics that are rather popular and actively updating
i'm glad there is a way to sort out those from comic updates and comics in the notification thing though.. (go to "SEE ALL NOTIFICATIONS" and you'll know what i mean)
it is a bit irritating however.. but i can't exactly see how anything can be done to improve it.. other than an extra drop-down..
but that in itself could become rather problematic..
i tend to ignore most of the "creator wall post" notifications anyhow..

[J.Z.Castillo]

I don't mind that, because it's a one time thing... UNLESS YOU COMMENT! Oh good lord jesus crust! I am STILL getting notifications MONTHS after I commented on someone's comic. I NEED THAT TO STOP! And what makes it worse is that it's a bunch of comments from a bunch of (I'm assuming) younger people who think they're funny... they are not. I wish there was a way to disable those notifications!

[mappypaint]

I don't mind if it's from creators that I know who uses it to notify about the comics i'm subscribed to. What bothers me is some creators who use it like twitter. Like what does "Went to the gym today" have something to do with the comic I follow. Or notifying that you uploaded a new page when it's already indicated in the updated comics notification.

i just think if the majority of the people are bothered by the system something should be done.
when you think about it theres someone who will use it for normal things
and then there is someone who will just abuse it .
makes no sense to keep it and the people who post stuff there daily arent even aware they might be losing subs bcs of it , in a way that is for their own good

[vocaloidno1fan]

I think I have an idea...
Star a forum thread talking about that.. Make as many people as possible aware of how Tapastic works- and how to tell when you are using or abusing the wall post thing.. (I have literally no idea what to call it beside "wall post thing")
I'm sure a good majority of the people who see it and abuse the use of the wall post thing will stop spamming their subscriber's notifications as much once they read such a post..
I think Tapastic should also have a tutorial-note-thing for how wall posts affect subscribers once people have created an account or start their first story on Tapastic

[Herofeeder]

thats a good thought
but i can bet that maybe 30 % of tapastic artists use the forums often.the rest just visit it every couple of months
also we dont know if tapastic even has the money for that kind of a change..
i only know HTML and CSS and honestly i can tell you that is a piece of cake compared to what they would have to do and use in order to make this "wall post thing " change . coding isnt easy and if tapstic owners arent programmers that means they have to pay and plan it out which could sometimes take months ...for now this is just a couple of us venting : P

[vocaloidno1fan]

yeah. that is true. and i know that coding, programming, and implementing things isnt easy work. I've seen bits and pieces of what Yandere Dev has had to do to further the development of Yandere Simulator- and what problems can come up by fixing just one thing
I dont know the exact struggle with coding, programming, and implementing things, but i do have an idea of how stressful, costly, and time-consuming it can be
for now, its just venting and suggestions.. but later, it may be a separate post and planning out solutions

[vocaloidno1fan]

And just as we are here talking about this issue, there's a (staff?) post for those NEW TO TAPASTIC AND IT MENTIONS NOT TO ABUSE THE "WALL-POST-THING"

[keii4ii]

It's not a staff post, just a user-made thread that got pinned by a staff or a mod.

The problem is that people have different definitions for what constitutes wall post "abuse." Some people think it's nice to say hi to their readers on their walls, while others (like me) WOULD VERY MUCH RATHER BE LEFT ALONE!!!

[Herofeeder]

thats like giving a million dollars to someone and saying ..dont go crazy with it

[vocaloidno1fan]

well it briefly explains the difference between using and over-using the wall-post-thing (I really have no other term for it...)
like an example it gave was using it properly would be making posts that would affect the readers and/or series in a big way
and for over-using/abusing: posting a "random drawing", "asking what everyone is up to", "live-stream spam", etc

It's actually helpful and somewhat humorous (to me anyways.. but i've been ditzing out and/or giggling all day.. so it may just be humorous to me right now..)

[Herofeeder]

while we were talking here ..2 more shared a post with me

its not the worst case.but this is an example

[vocaloidno1fan]

...eye-twitch
wow.. just... wow..

[nattbear]

WTF.... That's... I dunno... I think they mistake the social media they wanted to use XD...

[vocaloidno1fan]

Literally what I was thinking XD

[WakaXO]

It bothers me, I'm subbed to enough comics that I get at least a few everyday, it's a constant source of disappointment to see that red bot when its not relevant to my comic activity. I don't mind the messages, I enjoy reading most, I just wish they weren't lumped in with my comic activity feed.

[keii4ii]

Dude, I would politely send them a PM about how you're considering unsubbing from them not because of their comic, but because the wall posts are getting too much. And if they don't slow down after that, I would unsub.

Considering doing that for one of the creators I'm subbed to. They don't make posts OFTEN, but the posts they make are all ramblings, no important announcements.

[Ringarune]

Yah, it's kind of frustrating when people use it so casually. I'd rather people just used twitter for things like that

[Herofeeder]

i never really understood why peope want to post stuff they are doing

[mappypaint]

In one comic I was following before, the creator made posts similar to what you posted above. Sometimes he would post 5 times a day with stuff unrelated to any of his comics. It got to a point that I unsubbed from his comic. Now what I noticed is some of his followers would reply to his posts making it like a chat room. Maybe thats the reason he post a lot of stuff, because his followers replies to the post even if it's unrelated to his comic.
