I think I've offended some people in DA

Like the title says...I think I did.

Well, I created some pics by using a generator and posted it on DA. The most infamous one is the evil looking one. Someone tried to be an anarchrist (my bad if it's spelled wrongly). He/she tried to get me into an arguement/fight.(I already said I used a generator to do it :? :x ) So, I reposted the art to clear his comments.

Then, another commented that I should post the link. Sorry, I'm lazy to do it. Do these people have nothing to do but to spit these irritating comments? Afterall, to me, DA is about looking at artists art and appreciate them. Not going around and spit annoying comments which provokes the artist.

Another fact is, I've seen some artists using the generator to do it and never post the link but stated the name of the generator.

Examples

Hi Starshadow!

Hmm, well DA is not only a place to place whatever art you want on there. They have a lot of rules and some of those rules are that you can't post work that is not created by you on the site without proper documentation or credit. If you created those images using a generator, I think it's best that you do include a link so people know where you got the image and give credit to those who made the generator or something, at least. Also, from what I saw, the person either wanted the link for themselves or they were telling you that you should have the link. It's not clear from their tone what they want so maybe assuming the worst of the person isn't ... nice. xD

As for the person who brought religion upon thee, all you can do is ignore him or get into an argument that will spoil your artworks page. I think you can delete or hide people's comments and if he offended you, you could have done that. Also, I think you can tell him to back off or report him. Respect people's beliefs but I don't think people should get all RAGGHHH on people's artwork. 9_9 Or characters and stuff. Deleting and replacing the work is also an idea, but if ever you get one of those again and you have a page full of comments you don't want to lose or something, then maybe try hiding or deleting. Oh! Also, I've seen those kinds of people all over DA. D: They say something to the Artist and then there's a whole argument about religion that gets nowhere. -_-'

The difference between the ones you've shown and the ones you created is, Gaia is an online site where your avatar is your own creation just like yours is.

But Gaia is well known and easy to find...you used a random generator to create yours, and without posting a link, it can come across as theft because you're in a sense, refusing to give credit to the original creator of the generator.

You should post the link.
