umm, once again, the galleries are moderated. To my understanding, stuff like "blah blah this sucks" can be delted by either the mods, or the admins as far as I recall. "Constructive criticism- along the lines of "for improvement". In the gallery it says "Please post your HELPFUL comments here" to paraphrase it. By checking off the box, they are opening their image up to be commented and critiqued on. If they don't want negative comments, they can simply write "Nothing negative please." Everything here is already moderated. Why add yet another forum where it isnt needed? Nevermind the 49 forums, we have 22 forums for different pieces of software. People post their work there all the time to be commented on. 13 of the topic forum's names imply that they are for a certain type of art or other, and are also great to post stuff. Case in point: The photography forum. We have there a great community of artists who are posting new work every day, and get comments from both the regulars, and the people who stop by every once in a blue moon. Its the same with nearly every other forum except the Canoma forum pretty much. We have enough forums as it is guys. 49 forums between the software and topic section, and 31 galleries. The galleries are meant to show your work and get feedback (which is what the critique forum is about it would seem), and there's 31 different galleries! All those forums function the same way, only with a better sense of community. Personally, I think it would be better if the forums that already exist were flooded with more backroom content, and some of them are in sore need of it. Stuff like tutorials, links to useful sites, forum news pages, demos and freeware, direct links to things that affect the forum users and such. Why don't we get all the forums we have functioning at a superb level, rather than flood the community with forums that don't have any effort being put into them that deserve it. It's not what you say, it's whether or not it's something not nice, because it'll get deleted if someone frowns.
