Yeah, this is a common complaint. For my part, if you have something to say about my image, positive or negative, have at it. The only time I would ask for a comment to be either edited or removed is if it is useless flaming, obviously put there simply because someone was mad at me for some reason. I have never had this happen to me and do not anticipate it happening. I think that the ranking system is too subjective, perhaps it should be reserved only for contests? I let people rank every single one of my images. I have had two so far (out of 31 or so, I'm fairly new here too) that people have actually given below a "Great" ranking. Xenophonz, could be. It's not me, though--if you give me a suggestion on one of my images, odds are I'll IM you and thank you for it, offer ideas on the suggestion. So far I've only reposted one image, though, through following the advice of LordStormDragon. I generally tend to avoid giving comments under "Great". It's all so subjective anyway, one person's "Excellent" is another person's "Hmmm..." This way I avoid trouble and, more importantly, I avoid discouraging newer artists and/or members of Renderosity. If I can't honestly give "Great", then I don't rank at all. Therefore it is meaningless as far as I'm concerned. =)
