I don't buy that adults are so much more sophisticated, they have emotions too and if someone says their writing sucks they aren't going to like it. Many adults give up writing too and develop the same psychological conditions as teens, they aren't invulnerable.

Besides no one is going to throw a tantrum that we didn't include their work on the website, because we aren't going to select mediocre stuff for voting and they will know that no matter what happens none of their work sucks.

Adults are kids who are better at pretending to be something else.

That said, adults have their careers, reputation, etc. to worry about. If an adult were to behave in real life like a lot of kids here act, their careers would be over. The problem with forum-goers is a lack of restraint, not necessarily their age.

Exactly my point... Your main concern is about their psyche and even if they cover it up, they still have the same emotions. So some people make a fuss, I really couldn't care. It happens all the time when we pick moderators, someone always says that they should have got it, it really isn't a big deal.

Lets not get too off-topic though, if you really don't like the competition thing then how do you suggest we put people's work on the website? Don't say use everything, because we don't want to put up some noob that joined yesterday, is 8, and completely sucks at drawing up there.
