This is not danbooru, this is a discussion board. You don’t want any discussion? We are only allowed to post praises?
But sometimes, an opinion isn’t worth sharing.
Likewise for images.
If the only person who likes hearing about a thought you’re having, is you, then it doesn’t need to leave your head.
You were not the target audience. The community at large was. And it was a failure because no one really chime in in support, but I had no way of knowing before posting.
Because I like looking at them, and other people do, too. I don’t think you can put either of these up to debate.
You’re allowed to post whatever you like, and so am I. What I am I asking you to do, is think more deeply about what you should post.

Fine. I’m the target. But there was almost no overlap between your target audience and the receptive audience. That’s my point. Some thoughts aren’t welcome outside your own mind.

We really didn’t need to trade words for you to figure this out.

I feel that this advice of yours is extremely similar (and not more offensive) than what I posted in my first comment. I did think and still think that this image (which is not the first offender) was counter-productive and I tried to give elements to explain why I think it should not have been posted there.
Happy to see we both agree that it is fair to point out when someone posts things we don’t like.

Here are several points of logic you could have considered, which make your initial comment an odd way to facilitate the change you are looking for.
The community has very low activity. Suggesting it would do better without what little it has left is unlikely to sit well with anyone.
The level of activity is not high enough to establish a “pattern” of content to begin with. Any posters haven’t seen posts by other posters in weeks, and are all essentially posting in isolation. A single new active contributor could make 75% of posts whatever they like, by merely posting weekly.
If you aren’t seeing enough content you want to see, the one who needs to start posting in order for it to appear, is probably you.
The best case scenario is not that I or any other posters take your “concerns” to heart and start posting more of the stuff you want, it is that we take our activity elsewhere.
If a place is full of content you don’t like, you should leave. Trying to change it for the better by removing the parts you don’t like won’t leave you with a community full of stuff you DO like, it will leave you, and everyone else there, with nothing.
Why do you post images here then?

Yes, still a bit surprised you opted to.
