Spooky Spite

An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

I instantly back out of the thread if the scry is the main image of an ungened G1 that gets auctioned. It is borderline scammy and really unprofessional!

God damn people stop with that stupid shit, what you are selling actually is the focal point not some maybe-existing in the future dragon!

calling it borderline scammy is very dramatic

I love scrolling through images of plain Nocturnes too. It really helps me as a prospective buyer to understand their full potential.

are you the same person who called scries in G1 bios scummy on SMR or is there more than one person who has this baffling take

like i get finding it a little silly if the dragon is absolutely drowned out in apparel and expensive UMAs but just genes is hardly scummy

I mean, I totally need an ungened noct picture. As long as they clearly label it a scry, I see no issue

a practice like this isn't scammy. it's like a real estate listing having only photos of furnished rooms to show prospective buyers what they could look like when moved in, rather than empty and cold spaces that are difficult to get a feel for. these showings might not display the repair work that may need to be done, and you're highly unlikely to be getting the furniture along with the sale, but it's important that when you buy something, you take the time to look at the thing you're about to buy. you set up a time with the realtor to go look at it and ask questions.

same with dragon sales. go to that dragon's profile before buying. it doesn't take too much time or effort to do it. i will concede that maybe people need to be clearer that their main advertising images are scries for currently ungened dragons, but it's not borderline scammy to have a scry as the main image.

Huh? I actually like it when they do this. I am not a creative person so I like to see what other people come up with before I buy.
