Quote - [...] it is strange when I get favored by someone who posts nothing. No comments, no images, just an account.

Not everyone is adept or self-possessed enough to make comments to complete strangers about their art. It takes practice.

Yes, I know, it sounds strange to say this on the ultra-garrulous Internet, but I've seen reticence — and felt it myself — about making a critique of someone's visual art that isn't felt at all in responding to others' *words.

*Beyond this, very few comments have any content. They're just generalized praise. (Sometimes, clearly, pasted-in standard words of praise.) I don't see the point in even leaving a few words of praise, let alone criticism, without giving some clear example as to why.

Discerning what to comment upon, as well, takes practice. And more than a little courage. If you see many artists who are clearly far more adept, or at least experienced, than you are ... wouldn't you want to be careful in picking on something to praise, lest you be picked on for focusing on what others see as trivial?

Quote - I guess one thing I would like to see is the site disabling right-clicking. This way we can prevent people from taking our images from the site.

The anti-right-click scripts end up simply being an annoyance. They interfere with page navigation, as well. They don't work if JavaScript is turned off. And in some browsers, like Firefox, they don't work even if JavaScript is not turned off.

Besides, anything displayed on a Webpage can be saved from the Page Info dialog box — in Firefox, under the "Media" tab. As with much else, it just takes a little bit of investigating your browser's capabilities.

I can see how huge scans, thousands of pixels on a side, would be of some concern as to having others save them. But not the under-600-pixels-wide display versions. As I see it, those generally lose so much of the detail, as it is, that anyone who fears their being copied is upset about sharing his or work as such. If that is true, I have to wonder why they're taking part here at all, frankly.
