I was going to wait until the upload limit poll was done before posting this, but I decided to do it now because some of the issues are being discussed already on that thread, which may not really be the place for them. OK an idea on artwork feedback I've had banging around for a few months, and one that should NOT produce any controversy whatsoever, because it's an optional addition if a person doesn't like it then they don't use it. To set the scene and before I say anything, I must point out that I am extremely grateful for every single comment I get on my artwork, and BIG UP on everyone who takes the time and effort to do so it is very much appreciated. But what I personally am missing are constructive feedback and real criticism on my stuff. Without this I'm finding great difficulty improving and I do value the opinions of every genuine member on Renderosity. The Rendo community has a non-written policy that all comments should be of the type "great image" and any comment for improvement should be stated almost apologetically (with the possible exception of the high-end 3D package galleries). People are not willing to post real feedback for fear of being labelled a troll. Also, of course, many people do not WANT such feedback on their images, because they just post for pure fun and don't want people tearing their images to bits, which is fine too. So what I propose is pretty simple just a flag option (a tick-box) on the artwork upload screen, called "Give It To Me Straight" (or something similar!). If an artist wants real feedback they'll tick this box, otherwise they'll leave it blank. When the artwork thumb is displayed in the gallery, there will be a little icon beside it, indicating that the artist wants real feedback (and also another icon and explanatory message just above the comments section of the image itself.) This way people won't feel guilty about posting criticism and hopefully the artists will get ideas for improvement. As I said, if a person doesn't want their image examined "in depth" then they just don't tick the box. Personally I would not mind if comments on flagged images had the option of being made anonymous, because I know some people are too "polite" to post incisive criticism even when invited. OK, this could possibly attract trolls, but if the poster's name was available to admins behind the scenes then such posts could easily be dealt with under the TOS. Myself, I would gladly put up with a few trolls in order to get hear people REALLY think of my stuff. Does anyone have an ideas about this, or views?
