Shouldn't they be bumping the thread in ATT and not in the spoiler thread?

I see multiple AT Ts for this troper and their impatience https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=139354&type=att https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/query.php?parent_id=139181&type=att

Oh hi. Welcome to my page. Uh, I am a nice polite ND Canadian, and not a rabbit who has stolen a laptop I swear. Did you bring any carrots?

Didn't think it was worth a solo report, but there's more impatience with their TLP draft here, including some rudeness just because I gave their draft some critiques. Right now it's discarded because they gave up entirely rather than listen to advice.

^About that, I ultimately chose to disregard that believing that someone would pick it from the disregarded list specifically, as it was the case with a Therapy Episode

Back to Fairy Tail, it’s honestly been around 2 weeks or even more since the discussion first began and yet me and gijjones are the only tropers active on that manner, so what’s the point of being patient if it’s all but stated that other tropers simply don’t care or interested in the work if they opt to disregard the question

The least you can do is just tell how exactly long will take, that would’ve been enough for me

Thing is, there's no way to tell you "how long it'll take" since achieving consensus doesn't have a time limit. We're not psychic; we can't tell you the future.

All people are asking is that you slow down and listen to what other people are telling you, because impatience achieves nothing and we can't give you the exact answers you want.

As for the TLP, like I said, you don't get people to pick up your draft by discarding it. The Therapy Episode thing was unique in that the original draft had no real progress made, so someone started fresh. Your current draft isn't even unsalvageable — you just need to be willing to take your time and take the advice you're getting. The problems it has are far from insurmountable. Losing motivation happens, but then you just put it Up For Grabs.

Bumping query so it doesn't get lost.

Look, gjjones, there’s just a bit of a difference between being impatient and being rude, and back then I was the latter. Since it has been speculated that the debate is up to join, the there’s no reason to continue this ATT if the issue is resolved, right?
