Ohhh, this is going to have plenty of things listed in it. Shall I count the ways~?
One: Does anyone seem to notice how hard it is for the average Gaian to properly answer a question? I've looked and seen useless answers to a question like "What kind of pet would you want?" that go as such: " biggrin " "..." "-" "hi"
THOSE sort of answers are, without a doubt, done so person can simply get the gold for commenting. Well, here's a lovely thing to keep in mind; If you come up with a valid answer, then you're a candidate to get MORE gold. I'm certainly not speaking for all people that send messages in bottles, but I just find it downright pathetic.
Two: Oh, oh! Here's another little thing that ticks me off as far as answering the question: ANSWER IT. If it's not a question that you can't or don't want to answer, don't answer it. It's as simple as that. Really! ESPECIALLY if your answer has nothing to do with the question!
Recently, I had sent a message asking "Who do you think is the cutest anime character?" Out of the seven I got back, only ONE answered the question. They were either "idk" "..." or people asking me out! Now, as sweet as it is that you think my avi is cute and all, but it's not going to make you a candidate for being chosen, unless if you actually ANSWERED MY QUESTION. And, no, "idk but I think you're cute" does not work either. In fact, if I could, I'd delete those answers.
Now, call me rash or hating or not understanding (after all, I know it's not a problem that will just go away nor do I ever expect it to), but it's just something I felt should be said. As far as what I hope to gain from posting this, well, I just did this in attempt to get someone to at least think before they click send.
