This in kind of a continuation of my first journal entry.
If you found yourself here and post or read in the Art Forum please read carefully.
These are things you should NOT do in the Art Forum. If people can grasp these concepts of what NOT to do. The Art Forum can be the place I believe it was meant to be.
------------------start---------------
1-Post some raggedy ass pic in the art forum that you know is bad and ask for critique/comments.
2-Ask for critique/comments but don't apply them.
3-Make the excuse that you picture sucks because you only spent a few minutes on it.
4-Link to a higher quality version of a shitty picture.
5-Post a higher quality version of a shitty picture you already posted.
6-Post a dumb ass picture with an alt you own.
7-Log onto you alternate account (alt) and respond to your own threads.
8-Bump your own topic only a few minutes after creation, saying something like "how come no one is responding?".
9-Post a picture in a existing thread to contribute to it, but then start a new topic with that same picture.
10-Picture spam. ( Keep posting the same picture in different threads)
11-Start a new topic asking what the best art program is.
12-Say your art looks like shit on purpose.
13-Start a new thread saying what you plan on drawing later.
14-Post art for your friend who doesn't want to make a Newgrounds account.
15-posting short replies just for post count +1
16-Posting personal messages in the forum. (use PM system please)
17-Posting a off topic picture as an excuse for the thread to be legit. (because quite frankly I'd say threads like these fall under a general rules BIG ONE "Attempting to smartass your way around these rules." )
18-make a new thread for a certain category or theme of art but provide none of your own.
19-Make a new topic with a shit load of links. (especially with [IMG] tags)
20-Post raggedy ass bullshit because you are bored
21-bump threads about following rules when someone already posted the link and gave appropriate info to the original poster.
22-ask a question that is pretty easy to figure out on your own..
23-forgetting to post the picture. ( No biggie if corrected in a timely fashion)
24-Write some long as shit that no one wants to read then post a shitty picture.
25- POSTING CAPS IN MY FUCKING THREAD.
26-misspell my user name >.>;
27-Start a topic requesting someone make/design graphics for your shitty web page no one is ever going to go to.

If people would apply the rules combined with those listed here of what "not" to do the Art Forum would be kick ass. It's fun to browse like any other section of Newgrounds, but some days it's ridiculous. I'm just putting thoughts into words by making this list.
It's seems like a lot but it's not really that hard to do. All of it is stuff regulars don't do anyways.
What's are your thoughts on this?
I'm not saying, the shit has to be badass art, I know my shit isn't badass. But it's obvious to tell when a person can't draw well versus not really trying. I see the Art forum is a place to flaunt your skills, visually express feelings and ideas, be competitive and improve.
Direct people to this page if you spot them fucking up the forums, maybe we can make a difference if only slightly.
Anything I left out on the list? leave a comment ad I'll add it.

Don't say anything related to "Rape her.", "Grab his/her cock." or "Do a barrel roll.", again just for the post count +1.

Haven't seem people say that much in the Art Forums. Just mainly General Forums. =/
