That thread was locked to avoid it becoming a flamewar in its own right. "non-constructive negative" is an awkward construct, I agree. the simple rules: No calling each other rude names No insulting another members family/race/country/religion/rendering engine/OS/platform No negative comments meant simply to hurt things that are ok: Negative comments made in a constructive way - for example critiquing an image Civil disagreements Heated debate All of these rules seem to me to be simple courtesy and common sense. However, a great deal of it has been lacking recently. I for one am very tired of reading 200+ posts of screaming brats. I don't have kids for a reason, okay?
