Hello, ES

I am considering leaving ExoticSpotter.com. People are harassing me on this site for:

. Uploading cars that are not exotic in which I thought they were
. Not knowing my cars
. Posting an M3 Hybrid
. Posting base Corvettes (WHEN OTHER PEOPLE DO, AND DON'T GET IN TROUBLE FOR IT)
. Making fun of me in general

Seriously. Right now, people are harassing me for not knowing the difference between an M3 and an M5. They look identical to me. I'm sorry, I can't help it. Just look at this:



Thank you, IssacH, for comparing me to Rock-Star-Legend (who by the way posts car show pictures, half of his pictures aren't legit, and bullies me, FYI)
Thank you, FerrariF40 for being IssacH's parrot
And a big thank you goes out to zonka-81, who jerks me around EVERY FREAKING MINUTE

The only real mature ones on this site are Andrew and r8lover. At least they are nice about it, and say I should take photos down if they are not exotic

If people are bullying me, than I'll leave the site. I DON'T NEED ANY OF THIS. MY GRANDMA IS IN THE HOSPITAL, A KID STOLE A PEN FROM ME WHICH I LOVED AND I'LL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN, I DON'T NEED THIS. I. DON'T. NEED. THIS. MY LIFE IS HARD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!

Also, the reason why I deleted my account is because I uploaded a base Corvette WHICH EVERYBODY DOES AND PUTS UNDER "Chevrolet Corvette Z51", BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, WHEN I UPLOAD ONE, PEOPLE REPORT ME FOR IT! And that's how my quality score went from 100 to 0

I am seriously considering leaving this site, and I hope my point got across.

well people that didnt have an issue with you might do now seen as you insulted everyone

people couldnt care less if a kid stole your pen

my only problem with you is that you kept uploading cars as featured when you knew full well they shouldnt be featured that really pisses me off when people abuse that glitch
its only acceptable for certain cars

... i think you stoped that recently? i havnt been keeping up with new photos

other than that i had no issue with you as a person

if you cant handle the website it might be time for you to take a break for a while

You don't understand. The pen was very special to me, and now it's in the garbage. Imagine somebody took one of your favorite possessions, and threw it in the garbage never to be seen again. How would YOU feel?

This site is called Exotic Spotter, a site for Spotting Exotics. If you don't have exotics to spot, don't post cars that are NOT exotic!

Jason,

I've never really said anything to you, so I guess I need to now.

I know you weren't perfect on this site. You posted show photos too, you've posted nonexotics, and when you were given criticism, you didn't take it. People warned you that if you reuploaded and kept editing the way you did, that things wouldn't get better for you. Had you listened, it probably wouldn't have come to this.

I'm sorry about your grandma, I lost mine when I was in 8th grade. I hope she gets better. As for your pen, I guess I can't relate? Anyway, you're not the only human here. Everyone else has lives outside here, and some are good and some aren't so good. Some people use this site as a sanctuary, or some take a break to clear their problems up. You should have chosen either one.

You can leave if you want, your absence will be noticeable. But if you want to stay, just heed criticisms and better yourself. Maybe people will make fun of you, but just ignore it. These people aren't your friends and you'll likely never meet them. Just try to have fun on this site.

Hope you make the best decision for yourself.

Also, the reason we get mad when you post a Corvette is because we told you before not to posted them but you ignore us and post them anyways.

Well, thanks, but people are telling me to stop editing altogether which I DEFINITELY don't want to do

You don't have to stop, just keep trying different editing techniques, other than just saturating everything. Editing is fun because you have so much control over everything, you should definitely try other methods and keep it interesting. You may find that other editing methods could lead to great results.

I said you were stubborn for not taking the picture down. I said I despise him to rsl I have no problems with you despite the fact that you are posting non exotic cars.
I am sorry about your grandma and I lost mine in 3rd grade.:( anyway I wasn't trying to be mean so sorry if I offended you.

i agree with this you should try something else editing wise
most of your shots are over saturated

when i edit mine shots i usually dont touch the saturation

just contrast, brightness and vibrance if its needed

Rivibird please don't take the mean things some people on this site say to you personally. This is nothing more than a fun site to spend some spare time and it isn't worth getting upset over. If people are making fun of your editing then take it as constructive criticism and try something new. If you post a picture that everyone is demanding you to take down then you should probably do so to avoid problems. We all love seeing your spots and laughing at your funny comments.

^.....Pretty much what I was trying to say....^

I'm sorry you have to deal with this, but we all have lives outside of here with hardships too. I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother and your hard life, but you certainly are not alone in hardships in life. I go through some myself (some of which are increasingly hard to deal with).

Anyway, just ignore the comments that are insulting to you, use the comments about your editing to help you improve your skills, and take down photos if it is requested.

I don't usually enjoy asking people to stay on the site once they have threatened to leave, but I must make an exception for you Jason. Please stay on the site, you are a great addition and it would certainly be different without you.

And we did warn you Jason.

Well, I'd like to say that whoever told you to stop editing completely is rather stupid. How are you going to get better if you don't edit? What you should do is listen to the many people that are kindly telling you how to make your editing better. I have to be honest, the super high contrast and saturation doesn't look good to me.

I'm sorry about your grandma and your pen. I lost my grandma last November because of a stroke. I also lost my rabbit that I've had for nine years about a month ago. I've been through this junk too, so I know how you're feeling. What everyone else is saying is right though. It's not a reason to come on here and panic about everything. Try not to listen to the mean things people say; they don't know you in person, and you're most likely never going to meet them in real life.

I enjoy seeing your new spots and having conversations with you. I really think you should stay on here. You just need to ignore the haters and consider suggestions the people with common sense make.
