I sit and scratch my head when I read  post in my image gallery , but then again, I never claimed to be good at anything, and I do not strive for real world "realism".

If it makes someone happy to post a comment on an image, good/bad or indifferent, then great.

I just "doodle" and post the stuff I like. If I want corrective crits I go to other places and post WIPS....

I look back at some of the horrendous renders I had posted early on in using Poser 5, and I think that along the way I have learned something, but rarely due to comments posted here. 

The funny thing is I read more posts and messages where the person is asking for a hard and fast way to do something, wanting to be spoon fed information on "How To Do xxx" without taking the time to try to experiment and find what works for them. But then again I guess if all you ever read is GREAT, WOW, SUPERB, and the like, then you have no reason to make change.
