I'm sure this topic has been beaten over multiple times but I would just like to point out that I am seriously irritated over the typical 'Oh she's very beautiful' comments thrown on images (especially considering there may be more than one figure.... Hello? What about my fantastic morph on the other guy? Um, five hours to render... Come on, give me some freakin' credit!) 

I mean, its not like I don't put any information in the 'Notes' area... I'm sure plenty know that I put more than enough info there to let you give a significant and meaningful comment based on my intense effort on creating some wonderful artwork for everyone to enjoy. 

Anywho, thats what I have to say about that LOL!

How about Copy & Paste threads? :)

Just playing. I couldn't agree more. It'd be great if we could black list certain people from posting comments on our images. It wouldn't be long before they got the message...so to speak.

What IS with the copy & paste function anyway here??  If I try to do that I have to do it all with keyboard shortcuts and no mouse or I get a message.....

So what's up with that??

LOL consider it a good thing... Do you want all of your comments to be exactly alike? I've always used Ctrl+V for my pasting anyways so that is something I've never had to deal with.

yeah  the debates are somewhat more civil than the gaming boards too - you just get eaten here, not beheaded and chopped up first.

Know what you mean. There are several that post on my images, and their comments are
the same on every image I see, and just as meaningless. I think a black list where you can
put such people would be nice. I like comments, but I like people to LOOK at what they are 
commenting on. :) This aspect of the Gallery is much worse today then it was in 2001, the
previous time I was active online. Just gotta grin (painfully, due to gritted teeth) and bear
it. Heh.

PS: I'd say more, but I have a very HOT date with a very cute vertice!

With so many threads recently complaining about the style of commenting, I'm almost afraid to post comments anymore!

I almost always try to make a unique and qualitative comment on a picture, but sometimes I just don't have time.  Still, when I see something I like I do want to leave a bit of encouragement.

I will admit that I did once try to do a bunch of copy and paste commenting.  I had so many artists in my favorites and I had the ebots sending me fistfuls of notices.  A week had gone by and I had not had a chance to get to Renderosity to look around.

So, anyway, I decided to make a notepad list with four comments that I figured might cover any occasion.

Can you guess what happened?

Well after submitting two or three poor artists to my drive-by commenting, I foudn myself faced with a pic that needed so much more then I could have predicted.  I ended up writing something specific.  Then, I landed on another pic where I felt I should expand upon my copy/paste comment.  This suddenly became the norm.  I spent four or five hours trying to get caught up on my ebots and then went cruising the gallery, because it just seemed like a great day for Rendo-art.

Yeah, so I tried the copy/paste thing once and couldn't really go through with it.

I have since disabled my ebots and just drop by my faved artists when I get the chance.

On the subject of recieving.  Well, I do like it much more when someone says something specific about what i've posted.  Oh, and I have had a few head-scratcher comments that can only be explained by drive-by commenting!  I've never really cared too much, though.  Maybe I'm just another attention whore. lol

HEY HEY HEY Watch those comments about opera.

Ya know, some of those copy/paste comments might possibly be from someone who doesn't speak english very well, and would like to let the poster know they like the image, but prefer to say it in the posters language.

I dont get alot of comments, ~shrugs~ doesn't bother me really..but I appreciate each and every one of them..no matter how its said

no, I disagree. doesn't bother me really. On the subject of recieving copy/paste comments from someone who doesn't speak english With so many threads recently complaining growls menacingly  LOL consider it a good thing...

note: post copied & pasted from several sources in this thread so it may not make any sense at all. big cheesy grin plastered firmly across my face

Lucifer, you're evil...  (yep, I'm king of understatement...)

It's late and I read your first paragraph four times trying to make sense of it before giving up and reading the last half.

Hey, I'm tired!

Bad Lucifer, bad :laugh:

lol sorry guys :b_grin:

LOL, must be said comments sometimes make me laugh on this site, I just looked at an image of superbly textured and beautiful figure who unfortunately seems to have her leg intersecting with themselves (poor pose) and yet there are three pages of 

Cool v 

etc etc

Makes me wonder if my eyes work differently or something, another pet hate of mine is those who forget about antialiasing.....

4 choices : 1-Join the Critique Club or 2-Just be vaguely pleased people bothered to comment at all ...even when its not precisely what you would have liked to hear or 3-Accept the existance of the "Comment Collectors" ie 'I leave you one and then you leave me one' and just feel superiour when you see suspect CC comments on your images and don't play the game or 4- Turn off the option for people to comment on your stuff . period Personally I'm just pleased when I get comments, regardless of type. I don't ever leave critical comments myself as there are a lot of thin skins around here .

I'm in the same club! happy for someone to say something :). I leave critical comments if I can be clearly constructive, but there are some 'comment collectors' where I wouldn't leave constructive crit, I might sitemail them though.

Just would like to point out that:

1. I am a member of the critique group.
2. I usually don't have a major issue with those type of comments.
3. I understand there are several people who comment to get comments and thats perfectly fine with me. 
4. I like my comments, good and bad.

What I'm trying to say is simple: When someone says, "She is very beautiful" I'm not offended. Its when I have more than one figure in an image or there are several notes talking about other parts of the image that "She is very beautiful" just doesn't work. Even if you speak a different language, you should know the difference between 'she' and 'they'

All I'm sayin...

ok, Vickie is ugly, and everyone dresses her funny..;) better?..;)

as for Opera, I do beleive they may be referring to the browser, and not that Florentine invention..;) I do admit to a visceral, Monty Pythonesque desier to yell "Stop that Singing!" whenever I hear it, but I usually like the intro pieces...;)

Quoted from Anasta's Homepage- "Thank you to everyone who's ever posted comments or rated one of my images. Everything said keeps me motivated and wanting to do more." Perhaps the following would be a useful addition to spare you becoming "seriously irritated" in the future : IMPORTANT NOTICE :Just don't forget to read my notes on images to understand what exactly you are supposed to comment on. And pay attention to your usage of pronouns! Anasta, stating that the point you are trying to make is "simple" implies you labour under the impression that I am stupid and missed it. I didn't miss it at all -imo no. 2 referred particularly to your complaint about people not leaving comments up to your expectations . You now follow it up with something even better : "Even if you speak a different language, you should know the difference between 'she' and 'they'" SHOULD ????? Nope, nothing arrogant in that statement at all. So in other words all you are say'in now is.....that any and all members (from quite a variety of countries) of this (USA based) site should have complete command of both reading and writing english ??? 0.0 Give me strength Perhaps on a slow day I'll start my own thread about the amazing intolerance frequently exhibited in this forum towards many things including but not exclusive to the quality & spelling of comments, quality or perceived lack of quality in artistic endeavours etc.etc.etc Oh dear, here I go being intolerant of someone who, imo, is making pretty intolerant statements... So having said what I felt needed sayin' in rebuttal to what Anasta felt like simply just sayin' I'll go and follow my own advice of "Live and let live" now ; ) Kitty pics anyone ? ^..^

Quote - Anasta, stating that the point you are trying to make is "simple" implies you labour under the impression that I am stupid and missed it.

Anasta's point is simple, and you do seem to have missed it, although perhaps not because you are stupid.  When you see the same comment word for word in 20 different gallery pics in a row, it's not a question of spelling, grammar, or language comprehension.

ps:  excellent post SUPER

Mmm Okay ... ik denk dat je wel even in moet denken dat niet iedereen alles kan weten en dat je met dit soort uitingen je je zelf niet erg slim opstelt tegenover alle niet engels sprekende mensen die deze site bevolken.
Dus bedenk volgende keer wat ga ik tikken en dan pas ga je je bedenksel inkloppen op je letterclavier ..
ik denk dat je erg van de potgerukt bent als je zulks opgaat noemen waneer je het hebt over wel of geen goedbedoelde komentaar op je werkjes.
De 2 woorde komentaren zijn opzich niet erg ..ze vullen alleen je vat met artlijst punten.

Dus denk nah voor je gaat inkloppen... engels is niet overal de voertaal.

I don't want to come off as arrogant... But since the comments I'm referring to are very widely spread across this site, don't you think that maybe they would know the difference between 'she' and 'they' by now, english speaking/writing or no.

Side note: I don't care about spelling... LOL I know mine sucks :P And I personally love to have comments posted in other languages. It means the image needed enough description that english just wouldn't do it. Go ahead, throw your best at me, Babel Fish is my best friend :)

Maybe the person does, but was absent minded when writing a comment.
It's not that easy coming up with something different and meaningful to say every time.
For some people, it's difficult to do that even some of the times.  
Also, some people's appreciation can fall short of the value of the piece, while they are still being as appreciative as they possibly can.

Like me appreciating Van Gogs, I love it, but I could never appreciate it properly, neither can most public at large with no significant art training.

I'm not asking for meaningful, I understand that its just a generic comment to get people to view their gallery. Its just that with that comment, its like they didn't even look at the image. Even absentminded people would delete the 'she' part. 

Sighs

Now I'm getting flamed for trying to make people understand. Ah well...

Well, in trying to understand what you are getting at better, I looked at your gallery, and I'm making a guess that you may be talking about a comment to your image titled 'Anticipation'. In that image, even though there is more then one character, the girl in the character ddoes give a feeling of her being the main character.

Looking at it from that perspective, I could easily see how someone, instead of saying, wow, the girl in the image is really beautifully done and stands out from the rest (focusing on that part of the image), they blurted out "She is very beautiful", thinking it was self evident that she was thinking about the girl in the image.

It doesn't strike me as a language issue, but more of the issue that the poerson commenting assumed that they expressed what they were getting at clearly enough, but in reality perhaps not.

Happens all the time... LOL, my honey is really bad at it, and tends to substitute one word, like "Store" for meaning to say, we need to go to the store this coming weekend, and gets all defensive when I tell him I don't have time before the weekend starts, and tells me, that's what I asked you, store? This weekend!

I understand what you're saying and completely agree, if that were the case. Look at it this way, go through the 'What's New' Gallery and look at the, oh say, 20 or so images uploaded around the same time as mine. Notice that the -exact- same comment was posted on those images as well. That is the only reason it bothers me.

?lo ciento no habla punjabi?

To her/his defense, I agree.  The words I do know in other languages and say to people, Im sure of - I can't imagine that someone would just go rattling off words they did not know at all, in any language - especially 100 times per day.  Maybe Net.... erm... that person  would, who knows.  

I don't know why the people who say something about this are painted always as these unappreciative jerks.   Just callin it like it is really.

It's probably too bad that the galleries don't have a feature where you can select a person and all of their comments are listed by a thumbnail of the image they commented on...

This particular individual would have pages and pages of the same comment next to a wide variety of images. I realized that english was not their first language, but after a while I decided that perhaps this was a child... (Just seeking that positive spin...)

Oh, LOL, I didn't notice that!
Well, since I'm not likely to notice people who do that, please send them to my gallery :tt2:   or, maybe they've already been there... :blink:

And Bar-code, I do realize that not everyone here speaks English but if someone has enough knowledge of the language to type out an understandable 'notes' section on one of their uploaded images, they should certainly be able to do the same with comments.

Oh come on...many people don't care if the comments are meaningful as long as they are complimentary and they get enough to put them in the Hot...er...Art Charts. :lol:
