I honestly don't think the issue is that on comments on individual images in the galleries. Many times I've burned people's creations down for being extreme acts of newbie-ism. What pisses me off though, to be perfectly honest, is the sort of 'constructive' criticism which does NOTHING to improve the person's work. There's a difference between artwork and trash, and very few people are able to create artwork. Attempting to create artwork is something else, that requires varying degrees of talent. But again, that's not the issue. "Great job on that render!" BULLSHIT. Every day I see that around Renderosity. I am actually amazed at how docile this community is. I don't want flames, and I don't want comments which don't tell me what to improve. There is always something to improve upon. That texture screams DEFAULT, that pyramid is not a pyramid, it's a freaking cone, that monthly challenge was won with freebies, etc and ad nauseam. But that's something that's gotta change in the mentality of the community, not in the options that exist for comments. There's no need for the 'give it to me straight' button, there's a need for the 'give it to me straight and stop being a liar' mentality. Draculaz
