There are multiple communities online for a reason.

I do not post at sites like CGTalk precisely because they are mostly Pros sites and I really don't feel ready to go there yet. I did post a couple of time to a similar site, GFX Artist, and the comments I got there were very.... humbling :)

It is a good thing that Renderosity members do not have the same elitist attitude - it keeps the place open and hopefully, welcoming, for all sort of people who want to grow and share their work.

Sure, it comes at the price of some shallow comments or abuses of the rating system, but it is still an open place for artists and hobbyists at any level.

You really can't compare the two sites. They both serve a different purpose. Ideally, this kind of appeal is nice, but they are removed from reality. You just can't simply ask people to become better overnight. The real question is : what can we do to help everybody get better ? - Tutorials are a way. - Sharing tips or commenting on WIPs in the forum is another way - maybe we could draft some kind of charter to help people provide beteer comments and to help artists better accept constructive criticisms Any other suggestion ?
