Forgive me but I need to be straight.
Some of the community members presume to know the workflow and the pressure involved in making good quality content. Yet they still ask authors of an unfinished work piece to send it out to a complete stranger on the internet "for private use" or shout about release dates. Now me personally I don't understand this behavior any more than those who choose to steal stuff. (Not saying that its as serious though)
The production period should be respected and supported instead of all the usual pestering and private asks. This is a rising issue that I have had since the more public I go the less people actually are willing to let me work on my own terms. I do this for free on my personal time and the energy I put into it directly corresponds with the end result. I've have had frustrated talks with many authors of different fields and they tend to agree.
To me sending unreleased work to some odd internet person would be as bad as flipping the finger to the actual work and it would endanger the reputation of the release as it is still in Work In Progress state. In this day and age there is this presumption that everyone is special in some way and entitled to do whatever. This is not the fault of the individual since our societies constantly teach us for this thought.
However in the case of an artist or producer doing their work it is not to be rushed or stomped upon. The work is laid out to the public when it is finished, no sooner. Now this is nothing personal but this behavior is as tiring as the other usual Omsi community nonsense and it usually ends up slowing the production process or even stopping it all together in some cases.
All of this is not be taken as an insult to your excitement, I have it as well as an intense burning flame. However you shouldn't let that feeling consume you and it to guide your actions in the internet.
I ask you this: Would you ask a musician for a piece of an unfinished song?
Sincerely, Ratti

I was not sure where the correct place for my rant would be so I laid it in here.
